Least favorite thing: my thighs applaud when I run!

That's hilarious!! I literally laughed out loud! One of your favorite things is one of the things I hate. I can't stand it when people think I'm not me. My husband has been the talk of every party/function we go to. People think he is cheating.

I dont' know about women, but there are entire subset of gay men who are into bigger guys, especially if they're hairy (usually called "bears"). When I started gaining weight I was a real hit with these men. :blink:

My best guy friend is a bear & he is very happy with it, but I want him to lose cause he is only 30 & is a really bad diabetic.

I hear what your saying about "forgetting" to eat. And to think, I used to get pi**ed when someone would tell me they "forgot" to eat. I could have throttled them..now I get it!

I'm still waiting for surgery and no matter how many times I read it, the "forget to eat" comment seems ridiculous! I can't wait until I understand!

It's real and happens often when I get busy at work.

It's not so much that I forget. It's really that I just don't feel like it. You're not hungry and it's a bit of a chore early on to eat. It's real!

That is very true!

Today my favorite thing is being able to drink a cup of hot tea on a cold morning and being full from it.

My least favorite thing today is that my "I don't feel like eating" has started to disappear unless I am very busy. My bored eating is coming into play again and it is VERY scary! It is such a mind game we play sometimes!!

It's funny' date=' even though I KNOW I was fat...until I saw myself in a picture, the way I look 117 pounds lighter is how I always "saw" myself when I looked in the mirror. I know it's weird!

As far as the clothes go, I bought a lot a Goodwill and I still do.[/quote']

That's how I feel! I don't feel like the big girl....UNTIL I see a picture of myself. But that will soon chang!!!

Favorite-My clothes (now mostly goodwill and thrift stores) fit so much better, you can't beat 5.99 jeans and 2.99 denim skirts.

Least Favorite-When I was bigger and would go out walking when I crossed the street people would try to run me over. Now when I went for a run yesterday, several people backed up in the street and a few guys smiled and waved. WOW...Things I never noticed.

My favorite is that I am not hungry. Ever.

The worst is and may always be exercise! Although it is much easier than before, I still hate every single second of it.

Most favorite: Not being so physically limited! I am riding horses, can easily climb in and out of things etc. - just have normal physical abilities again!

Least favorite: I think facing the realities of long term / keeping the weight off.

      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.
