I want to go to macy's try on beautiful clothes, wear a two piece suit again, feel comfortable and sassy in my body, visit my brother in Hawaii, Run, play soccer with my nieces, Go to a Water park and not worry if I will fit on the rides. Retake some wedding photos, with my original dress, taken in! Take a zumba class, yoga class and pilates water class without all the "judgy" looks...................

I want to wear a flattering swimsuit on the beach. I want to run a half marathon. I want to wear beautiful dresses without worrying that my Spanx are showing. I want to cross my legs effortlessly. I need to make a list of hundred things I want to do when I get to my goal weight!

I want to go zip lining in the Smokey Mountains. And hike in Big Bend or the Grand Canyon and be able to keep up with my hubby and daughter. And I want to ride a horse without feeling sorry because it has to carry so much weight. And I never want to shop at Lane Bryant again.

agreed never again lane bryant!!

For the past 6 years I've been practicing Yoga 6 days a week. Despite all that time there are way too many poses that I just can't do properly. I'm sick of modifying them because my stomach is in the way. I'm going to do the whole program exactly as it's taught. No more modifications or getting my elbow just half way over my knee. My Yoga will be perfect for the first time in my life.

That will be an AWESOME accomplishment! So happy that you are going to be able to do all that!

I WILL be a runner! I have always wanted to do the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on 4th of July morning and Next Year I WILL DO IT!

--ankles! the bone should protrude.

--being able to shave bikini area without guessing

--enjoying a short skirt...one thats not attached to a bathing suit

--thighs that don't rub together like a damn cricket and pants that don't wear out there first due to friction.

--being able to buy stretch jeans because it makes them comfy--not out of pure necessity otherwise you have to admit you are larger

LMAO about the pants wearing out bc of friction! That is the funniest thing i've ever heard!!! My last ones wore out in the knees! hmmm

I think I'll enjoy wearing a bikini for the first time since I was 7? And wearing sexy clothes!!

And I know this is a bit personal but I can't wait to try new positions in the bedroom with my husband. We usually stick to 2 positions because I get outta breath doing anything different.

Add that to my list....the new positons one...I totally know what you're talking about....

I am looking forward to not feeling like the seatbelt may decapitate me after coming to a fast stop! Or if you have to bend down to pick something up off the floor in the car and the seatbelt starts reeling you back in like some sort of deepsea fish!!!

Oh and no more granny panties! Sorry "just my size", it doesn't matter how you try to spin it - assorted fashion colors are not attractive for full-coverage briefs!!!

      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.
