I was just looking at clothing magazine that weren't Lane Bryant or Avenue and imagining all the shopping I was going to do when I lose this weight.

Boots - I can't to own a pair. Living in MI everyone wears them to work, tall, black real leather ones. I can't wait.

Coat - I own alot of coats, but I can't to purchase a ski type coat, probably not until next winter, but I can't wait.

Iknow this sounds silly, but I can't wait to have bra and panty sets that match. You know,the really cute ones with flowers or lace or at least pretty colors instead of boring beige or white bras and whatever pair of panties was in the drawer. I really want ones that are cute sets!

I too am looking forward to shopping somewhere other than Lane Bryant and Avenue. I took my daughters shopping last weekend for homecoming outfits and I thought about how in a year I could be buying cute stuff from GAP, etc.

I am also looking forward to being able to ride rides at amusement parks with my kids. I know that was discussed in another thread, but I have that same problem, I'm always afraid the belt or guard bar won't fit, so I haven't rode one in years.

Matching bras and panties are a must! I am convinced that any day is a good day when your undies match...

MAY YOUR LINGERIE DRAWER OVERFLOW!!

I'd like my body to not resemble Bug Mama and Mrs Doubtfire's.

I'd like my sciattica and varicose vein pain to be relieved.

I'd like to go dancing again.

I'd like to go on the amusement park rides again.

I'd like to wear pants with pockets and a belt.

I'd like to be able to walk in front of someone without having an internal meltdown.

I'd like my husband to desire me again.

I'd like to have more than Fashion Bug and Lane Bryant to shop at.

I'd like to want to go to the beach or a pool in the summer to cool off.

I'd like to be healthier, I don't want to have a heart attack.

I'd like to have a better quality of life.

Hi ya Denise!

How did you get your tickers to work? I must be doing something wrong! Help. I only have 19 more days to go till surgery as well. I have decided to buy an MP3 player in a bid to ease my jitters. Shopping is such a fun distraction!

Oh, how I can't wait to wear a DRESS and HEELS, I can't remember when I last wore them? My counseler last week asked me to come with a reason or a motive to why I want to lose the weight. Like the little poka dot bikini on the yoplait commercial. Of course there are tons of reasons. But she wanted one I could look at. The Heels were the 1st thing that came to mind. But everyone's on this thread is what I want to do too !!!! I WANT IT ALL!!!!LOL Mary

Suzanne,

I went to Tickerfactory.com and set them up. Then I copied the URLs they gave into my signature. Had to try a couple of times because I didn't know which URLs to pick (they give you choices). Eventually I picked the right ones and it worked.

I want to play tennis again. I've played league doubles until earlier this year, when I had to stop due to severe joint pain. I can hardly wait to run around that court again! Also, CLOTHES, CLOTHES, AND MORE CLOTHES!!! I love clothes as much as a teenage girl, and I want to enjoy wearing them again. But, really, the main thing would be feeling good again. I haven't felt good in years, and that's just sad.

I am looking forward to wearing a tank top. I don't wear anything without sleeves right now. I am too self conscious of my fat arms. It is probably silly, but a big deal for me.

I also can't wait to get a Harley. I won't get it until I lose the weight. I don't want to be a hog on a hog.

      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.
