What Do You Want To Do When You Are Healthier?



Recommended Posts

To sit on wooden chair in restaurant without thinking will it hold me. To shop in regular size stores instead of plus size stores. To cuddle with husband without rearranging fat. To walk without getting out of breath and worrying if I can make it back home. To just stand from sitting without pulling self up with arms.

Speaking of mirrors. I would like to go in a store's dressing room, look in the mirror and think...oh my god is that me or is this a funhouse mirror?

All of these are great bucket list ideas! I want to be able to get down on the floor and play with my grandbabies and be able to get up without making "old lady" noises! I want to wear cute high heeled sandals with a nice dress, instead of a colorful tent and flats! I want to shop at Victoria's Secret for a sexy, cute bra that actually fits! And I can't wait to be able to fit in a airplane's seat comfortably so I can go see my son in Alaska!

I would like to wear a bra with one letter instead of 2 and in a color other than black white or beige. I'm also looking forward to jogging without everything moving.

No more plus size stores!!!

      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.
