There's so much livin' to do without weight and being self-conscious holding me back- short list:

1. Wear jeans and not have an indentation on my stomach when I take them off!

2. Boots, boots and more boots! Heavy calfs dont typically fit in nice sexy boots! (worn with a knit or sweater dress!)

3. Ride on my hubby's Harley - too scared to go on at this weight- feel like I'm going to kill us both by tipping over around a curve!

4. Ride a bike with my daughters (who are just starting to drive cars--before it's too late!)

5. Go hiking, walking, skipping and jumping, dance at rock concerts - move, move, move!

6. Family Trip to Hawaii - my dream vacation, with a mini vaca during stop over in So. Calif. where a lived for a bit in my 20's. (I loved San Diego, Mexico and Baja Ca.!) I visualize myself w/ my 2 beautiful daughters dancing ay a luau having the time of my life!

Everyone has such great lists. Here are a few of mine.

1) take a two week vacation with my hubby to Hawaii. Not having to use a seat belt extension and feeling comfortable in shorts and a swimsuit.

2) clubbing with the girls and wearing an outfit that turns the guys heads.

3) attending a steelers game for the first time and not worry if I'll fit in the seats.

4) Know that my kids are proud to be seen with me.

5) tour Europe

Just want to know what's on your bucket list when you get to goal? Or are you like me and have a reward/co-goal with each milestone? Here are mine:

1. To get my nose pierced again

2. To get a tattoo when I get to goal - currently don't have any and I don't know what I would get!

3. To go to Mexico - another thing I have never done! Wouldn't feel comfortable in a swim suit at the moment

4. To go to Disneyland - never been, wouldn't fit on the rides at this size, but wanna go in January

5. Buy a romper - for those who don't know what that is, google it! Rompers are so cute, espeiclally the ones with shorts. Can't wai to flaunt it in one

6. Zip lining

Your turn!

1. Playing Tennis again. Learn to play golf

2. Clothes clothes clothes. I've always teased my husband that it's a good thing I'm not thin because I'd been on Oprah confessing my shopping/clothes addiction. I'd love to be able to wear cute Maxi dresses...and actually look cute in it!

3. Go to Europe and be able to do all the walking that is necessary without getting completely exhausted.

4. Maybe take up horseback riding again. I had horses all through my childhood and teenage years and my dream is to one day live in a place where I could keep a couple of horses.

I'm still thinking of other things... I'll get back to you. There are probably hundreds of things!!!!

1) Cross my legs before I die!

2) Go horseback riding and not feel like I'm committing animal abuse.

3) Travel often, and ride on a plane without giving the 'seatbelt issue' a

second thought.

4) Go jetskiing, waahoo!

5) Visit Central America and zipline with the monkeys.

      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.
