I'm looking forward to losing enough weight to go on roller coasters again without the anxiety while waiting in line to see if " I fit". I hope this happens for my trip in November to Disney & Universal.

I can't wait to go back and ride all the rides now that I am a normal weight. I remember when I rode the Harry Potter ride, they had to push the restraint down several times to get it to snap. It will be so nice to not have that issue anymore!

I look forward to linking in the mirror and just seeing where the weight is coming off. So much to go that with what weight is gone I just can't see it. I also look forward to being able to really shop in the stores and not online. One big one for me is also when i fold laundry or pack my clothes they are not so overwhelming. Being so big its like 2 of my shirts is like 4 of normal ones. They are so heavy to hold and to wear. One reason I cant stand jackets, you put ur clothes on then it and ur like suffocating cause how heavy everything is.

We have DisneyWorld in about 38 days and hoping to lose more weight to be able to actually buy clothes there and get on most rides. We went in June of 2011 and was not able to fit most rides. Even stood in line with hubby,son, and niece for 1 and half got to the ride finally only to be pulled out of line and told I cant fit. I was in tears from embarrasement and mad at myself for the weight I was. It was defiantely an eye opener.

You ALL will experience every single one of these moments you look forward to. Keep them close because not every moment of this journey is going to be fantastic. There will be moments where you're feeling down. Use these lists as a guide to where you've been and where you want to be. Seeing these checked off will remind you, you're headed in the right direction!!! :)

Right now, my next "wanna do" list is to have a tight stomach. So, that is what I'm working on now. My list is small... but so am I!!! ;)

@Lissa, that's too funny!! Actually it wasn't meant as bragging, just that when you get down here there's not much to look forward too, but looking back is fun in its own way.

That said, I always like to keep myself moving and evolving and any way I can do that, I take full advantage. You can never be too fit and you can never be too rich (with GODs love and favor). LOL ;)

I'm looking forward to more energy, straight size clothing particularly victoria secret PINK t shirts, and a Burberry jacket. I am more clothing concerned. I do look forward to more energy. My energy levels are pretty good once I had a nights sleep not interrupted by the baby, but I can only imagine what I would feel like at 150. I might feel like Sonic the Hedgehog.

      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.
