To bea ble to go to the closet and know whatever I pick will look good and no more; I got to make sure that this is covered and that is not showing. I have not worn shorts or tanktops in ages.

Also my 3 girls will be proud of me and they will have a happy mom with a selfesteem through the roof.

1. I want to live a long and happy life for my children. My children mean the world to me and I can't imagine leaving them earlier than I am supposed to due to this baggage I have carried around for a lifetime.

2. I want to feel and be healthy. My doctors always say that my number, points etc. are all perfect but I know personally, that I don't feel perfect.

3. I want to be more like the woman my husband married. When we dated I was about 40 lbs less than what I am now. I was a lot more fun to be with, a lot more sure of myself. Now I never want to hang out with our group of friends because I am totally ashamed of how I look.

4. I want to be able to get dressed up for a special occasion without ending up in tears. I also want to be able to put pantyhose on without ending up all sweaty and out of breath.

5. I want to be able to borrow clothes.

6. I want to be able to shop at any store.

7. I want to sleep without my arms falling asleep.

8. I want to be able to walk on my feet without giving them time to adjust to the weight they are about to carry all day.

9. I want to be able to wear shorts and sleeveless shirts without the side effects of chub rub.

10. I want to stop sweating all the time.

11. I want to stop trying to hide lumps and bumps.

12. I want my boobs to get smaller so that my back stops hurting.

13. I would like to be invited to a pool party without that sudden fear.

14. I would like to chase after my children and enjoy it.

16. I would like to buy a halloween cosume that will fit me.

17. I would like to fall in that catagory as one size fits all.

18. I want to look tidy, not messy.

19. I want to stop fearing the airplane seat.

20. I would like to jog.

22. I would like to wear boots that go up to my knee. They have never fit my calf before.

24. I would like to stop getting dressed in the closet when my husband is in the room. ( this one should be #3)

25. I would like to take my clothes off and not have an impression of them still an hour later.

I'm sure there are hundreds of other wishes but these have been on my mind most this year.

Words cannot explain how much I want this all to happen.

All of the above....except that I have to buy tall size clothes so it's easier to order them that to try to find them in stores.

Plus, I want to play basketball with my grandkids (I've asked for a hoop for mother's day) and I want to be able to set on the ground and work with my plants, and then be able to GET UP AGAIN!

      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.
