Ok..for me this was a very cool NSV. So I was helping my hubby with outside lights for Christmas on the house...up and down all day..in and out of the attic I went and before long..all the lights were up and everything looked great..as my hubby and I were chatting in bed after a long days work...I realized..man I got up in the attic...like 10 xs and not once did I stop to think....I have to rest a second..I am out of breath....is this ladder going to hold me..oooopppsss..turn sideways because your fat behind won't fit in the square hole in the ceiling...get your balance..don't fall..you can't lift that box and go down the ladder at the same time because you can't fit....nope..none of that crossed my mind..because I could do all of that without thought..in fact..I went up in the attic just because I damn well could...stood up and about wept because it has been years since I could do that...just go up there because I could..thank you sleeve..you are a life changer!

If you have ever been incarcerated you will recognize that the feeling after being released and you are breathing the air of freedom is similar to that of realizing the restored freedoms and abilities after WLS has it's effect. :)

      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.
