I can now cross my legs.

I am currently wearing a size FREAKING MEDIUM scrubs which I have not worn in 20 years.....lolol...thought about leaving the tags on for work....is that tacky?????????LOLOL.

Future goal............just want to NOT be the fattest girl at my high school reunion.

I can't wait to be the person that I am in my head! I have never thought I was "FAT". Even at 351 lbs...I never saw it! I knew I was "fluffy" but dating was never a problem and my husband loves me at any size!

I can't wait to do things with my family and not be exhausted doing it..or making excuses for not doing it.

I can't wait to shop with my 6 girls...ages 10-26 yrs old!

I can't wait to wear elegant..but somewhat sexy...clothes for my husband to enjoy!

I can't wait to be HEALTHY...and exercise or move PAIN FREE!

I can't wait to see the FINAL results of my efforts! :D

:lol:I can't wait to buy regular clothes instead of plus size clothes. And the other day I caught myself crossing my legs... I'm not sure when that started but it was pretty comfortable. I can't wait to feel comfortable on an airplane again instead of worrying how people are looking at me and hoping they don't have to sit next to the fat lady who is "spilling over" into their seat.

I want to wear sexy nighies for my hubby.

I want to go to a party where I'm not the fattest person there.

**** summer Water sports ****

And everything everyone else said

WHAT AN EXCELLENT AND THERAPEUTIC TOPIC !!! I will be sleeved on May 14, (mothers day gift to me).

1. Be relieved of the sweating from under my breasts in the hot weather which causes painful irritation and odor and the constant need to put cornstarch under them which makes a mess.

2. See body parts without a mirror (do not mean my feet.....)

3. Regain self-esteem, and relieve depression.

4. Eliminate the words "I WISH" when looking at fashion

5. Join over eaters anonymous (OA) for support for the emotional eating (it will not go away just because of the surgery, it will resurface if we do not address it).

6. Last but not least... Become healthy by respecting food, longevity, and for once life being about me.

Love you girls!

I can't wait to:

Play b-ball with my 3 sons without having 911 on speed dial.

Take my boys to the zoo (my favorite place), and be able to keep up with them walking.

Shop in regular stores and actually buy modern, cute clothes. I want to shop all the trendy mall stores!

Wear knee boots with skinny jeans!

Rock a bikini! Yep, I said BIKINI!

To wear cute, matching panty/bra sets again...Vicky's Secret, I've missed you!

To go to the beach & not feel like a Grandma around all the bikini babes.

To cross my legs.

To look smokin' dayum hot naked!

To have a boob job & Tummy Tuck.< /p>

To be in a committed relationship with the special man God has in store for me-I'm tired of being hit on because "fat girls are easy"

To wear cute workout clothes without rolls around my waist or dimples in my butt.

I totally agree with you and OEA...I'm currently in therapy, it was suggested from my psy eval because I've been overweight for most of my life....WLS patients do have issues with food, and if they are not resolved, it will sabotage your hard work!

I can't wait to feel normal. Can't wait to have my knees feel better as I walk up stairs. Can't wait to shop at H&M or any normal non plus size store. Can't wait for June 15th although I am scared #%*#.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
