What Are You Going To Do After You Hit The Reset Button?!



Recommended Posts

I have really enjoyed reading this thread. I am most looking forward to:

Becoming a biological mom

Being able to shop at a regular store

Being able to salsa dance for hours like I used to

Going up and down the stairs without stopping at each step because my knees hurt.

Being able to make love to my husband in any position without having to stop because my legs hurt.

Being able to get on the floor to play with my daughter.

Just being comfortable in my own skin.

my life has changed a lot since gaining weight

8/9 years ago i maintained a 6 pretty easily but my wardrobe was all very professional (banker) so one thing i am going to do is buy an entire wardrobe for my new life through a professional stylist to hone in on who i am now.

i have a huge collection of 30s bias cut gowns. id like to wear them again

but in general i dont see my life changing much. maybe i wont dred pics so much :) being in community relations i cant avoid them but i never like them!

I want to buy a GOOD professional wardrobe. I work in Insurance and I have to dress in business attire. I always feel like I look funny in my clothes because I am so heavy and my body is so unproportioned.

I want to be able to follow the fashion advice I give to all the normal size friends.

I no longer want to be the fat friend.

I want to actually play softball at my company’s annual softball outing next fall and not just be a spectator

I want to go to Six Flags and no be nervous about rides. I haven't had a problem yet but I always get nervous.

I want to be a good example to my son. I feel like I encourage him to eat healthy and I want to be a healthy example for him to follow. Children are cruel and I never want my son to hear someone say his mom is fat.

I want to really live up to the Trophy Wife that my husband already feels that I am.

I want to no longer always be "trying to lose weight"

I want to walk into a store and shop off a clearance rack if I want to!

I want to be fit. As in, a lean, mean, fighting machine. I take care of my mom who is terminally ill - i want to be strong enough to provide care for her as her condition requires it. I'm working on it. I saw my bicep a few days ago for the first time in years.

I want to get on Facebook - I have avoided it because I was too embarrassed to post an updated photo.

I want to enjoy wearing more fashionable clothes.

There are important people in my life who I have not seen for close to a decade due to embarrassment about my weight. I want to reconnect with them.

And I want to create a future for myself - I am creating a future for myself. Six months ago it seemed pretty bleak. Now, I know that every day brings more opportunity for health, fitness, and long term happiness.

      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.
