This is a dress that I've been drooling over in catalogs for forever. The largest size it comes in is a 18. It's on sale, I'm thinking maybe I should buy it and hang it up in front of the fridge. Isn't it awesome?

I want to wear my engagement ring. I'm SO not a jewelry girl and I never thought I'd be all into the bling. But my husband was so sweet and careful in his choice for me. It breaks my heart not to wear it with my wedding band.

Secondly, I want to buy a trampoline and jump on it! The one I want has a weight limit of 175.

Ok. I have more...

-Cut my hair! I keep my long red hair to have one thing decent looking on my body. But I want a cute funky short do when I'm smaller.

-Wear shorts - I stopped wearing them when I was about 10 years old

-Bedroom confidence - yall know what I'm talking about

-Boardroom confidence - ditto

-Go dancing! We used to dance all the time in college...raves, clubs, whatever. We'd come home at dawn. I miss moving so freely and easily without fear of what body part continued to reverberate.

I could go on and on!

I have thought alot about goals! My 9 yr old tells me i am getting "skinnier" because she can wrap her arms around my waist and touch past both wrists...lol.

But the goals:

-to be able to use a regular towel......oh and not to have to powder my thighs!!!

-to get a tatoo

-to get my belly pierced.

-to go to Hawaii---and wear a bathing suit without a tent over me!

-to wear kick ass "come hither" shoes again!

-to wear a midriff.

-to not sit in my van and feel like my butt is the armrest!

-to wear boots---won't now---heels look like hooves to me.

-to go out with total confidence

-to do aerobics again-oddly i miss it

-to dye my hair bimbo blonde just once to make my sister smile.

-to wonder if the underwear in the laundry is mine or my daughters...lol.

-to wear cool makeup.

-to be able to tell hubby when he asks if i am wearing underwear---to say no and turn quickly and know he is checking it out!!!

-to lose the chubby cheeks (on face lol)

-to go back to a "b" cup and burn this "c"-cleavage from "fat" is highly overrated!!!

OMG the list goes on and on.

      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.
