I want to go walking with my family and not have to turn back after 15 minutes or gripe the whole time that my back hurts. And I want to cross my legs. It's been YEARS.

I actually have a list of things that are like a page long, but I will spare you and give you the major ones.

1. Get a short hair cut and know that my face is no too fat for short hair.

2. To plan vacations with out fearing the plane situation.

3. Go on rollercoasters.

4. Jog and play tennis.

5. Shop at Ann Taylor, banana republic, and express.

SOOO MANY THINGS!! But to be short, I can not wait to look in the mirror and not see the "fat girl" staring back at me. I can not wait to go shopping and like the outfits I try on and feel comfortable in them...to not feel like all the kids are staring at me when I go to my kids school..I can not wait to walk long distances and not feel like I am about to pass out...the list goes on and on :D

I can't wait to wake up in the morning and not have my back and joints hurting.

I also can't wait until I like my picture taken - we just got back from vacation and I want to delete all pics of me but I know that they will b a good reminder of where I was.

And i would love to shop in cutesy stores like forever 21 but i feel like a giant. I am 5'9 and a size 24/25 and can't imagine ever being small enough to be able to shop in one of those stores.

I second everything that was said...and, I can't wait to buy something sexy to wear for my husband. He is my rock. And has loved me and called me beautiful regardless of what size I was...he is my hero. I also can't wait to look great in our family photos. We haven't ever done any with all of us. Because of my weight gain I didn't want to be in them. So much to look forward to!

I can't wait to go to a gathering with music and dance to more than one song before I get exhausted!

I can't wait to be able to buckle my car seatbelt without making a major effort to get the two parts to meet!

I can't wait to sit in a plastic outdoors chair without fear of it breaking.

I can't wait to go on more outings like plays & concerts without being worried if the seat will be too tight.

I can't wait to travel since I have never flown for fear of having to buy two seats!

I could go on and on with my list but I forgot one more thing. I want a pair of those Victoria's Secret sweat pants that have "Pink" on the butt. I want to be able to see "Pink" and it not look like

"P I N K" cause my azz is so wide. LMAO

      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.
