I can't wait to NOT be asked if I'm pregnant when I'm NOT PREGNANT! And, I can't wait to NOT hear people tell me I don't look pregnant at all at 9 months when I AM PREGNANT! (I don't look any bigger since I am big enough already, the pregnancy just stays inside me I guess) GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

I can't wait to not avoid all if the sexy heels I always admire as I walk by the shoe dept. Can't wait to not have to shop plus sized. Can't wait to not have to keep checking my underarm flab to see the progress & if they still look like granny arms.

I can't wait to comfortably sit on the floor and play with my 3 yr old son and be able to get back up off the floor. I can't wait to be able to walk on stairs going up or down and not fear falling. I fall easy and hard.

To be able to fit a regular size towel around my body!

To not have to wear shorts over my bathing suit and make sure that towel is right at the edge of the pool so I can cover back up immediately!!

To be able to sit on my husbands lap without him Gasping for air!!

Update: I had my surgery on August 30, 2012. Somewhere on this forum, I posted that I wanted to be able to accept my husbands jacket when offered to me on a chilly night. This seemed like a silly thing to "want"...

I am happy to say, I can accept his jacket now - and it's BIG! I may be losing slower than others on this forum - but I couldn't be happier! I am almost 9 months out and down about 91 pounds. I went from a size 24 in plus size to a size 14 regular size! I can go into any store and find clothes that fit! I thank god that I had the courage to go through with this surgery - it has changed my life!

I can't wait to NOT feel like I'm taking up more than half the bed.

I can't wait to NOT make those not-so-delicate breath-holding, grunting sounds when I get up from sitting on the floor, or get out of bed, or bend down to pick up something from the floor...

I can't wait to not worry about sitting on a plastic chair at a picnic or get together and having it crash down on the floor with me on top of it.

I can't wait to be able to put on shoes, socks and pants without getting winded.

I can't wait to be able to stand for long periods of time without my knees and feet and lower back aching.

I can't wait to stop my cholesterol meds and cpap machine!!!

I wanna walk PAST Lane Bryant, not INTO Lane Bryant.

Also, I can't wait to show my side by side before and after photos :-)

      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.
