Dont have a date yet. My insurance covers 35 BMI (i'm 34) with co-morbidities (unsure, think i'm still pre-diabetic). Chances are I will be refused. Im going to do this one way or another. If insurance fails I'm heading south of the border.

When is yours?

I want to be able to keep up with my 5 year old daughter, go on rides at amusement parks, buy cute clothes that don't cost an arm and a leg, go dancing again at a club, wear knee high boots, feel pretty again, buy what I want at the store without people looking at me like you shouldn't be eating that, get rid of my handicapped tag, get off all these meds, having less pain (physically & emotionally), enjoy my life and live it to the fullest each and every day!

I want to wear trendy clothes like tights or jeggings with a long shirt and tall boots!!

I want to be able to paint my toes without trying to contort into an uncomfortable position where I still can't see them too well.

I want to go to the beach or pool in a bathing suit and not have to pretend to myself that I'm just not in the mood for swimming.

I want to be more active and do more activities, like camping, hiking, biking. I want to like clothes shopping, and not getting all frustrated and sweaty just trying pair of pants after pair that don't fit. I want to be able to go to any store I want and get clothes that I know will fit. I want to be able to go to amusement parks with my fiance and not a.) worry about not getting the bar to go down and click and b.) be able to share a ride with my fiance and not worry he will fall out since it takes him 5 clicks to make his tight and 1 for me. I want to skydive, and do adventurous things. The main thing is I want to loose weight so that I can join the Air Force, and the biggest most important thing I want to gain from this is:

Being able to have a child. We have been trying for 2 1/2 years and found out i have PCOS, so I am going to infertility alongside the surgery classes. The greatest achievement would be to have children and raise them in a healthy, active environment.

I got really depressed about it in the beginning because as a woman its like "If i can't do the one thing I was made to do, what kind of woman am I?" But I focused the thoughts towards solutions instead. I have to say though I am trying so hard to watch what I eat and loose weight like the classes recommend, but it is insanely hard!

I would love to exercise. Heck, I want to be able to walk & go up stairs w/o getting out of breath. I want to feel pretty again. I want to fit into a booth without feeling my stomach smashed in. Most of all, I want to be healthy and feel good with no aches & pains, & sleep apnea from being overweight.

      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.
