Recommended Posts

i've had a running list of things that i've been keeping for YEARS that i swore to myself i would do again once i lost my weight. well, surgery is within the next 4-5 months and my list is out...

When I lose my weight I'm going to:

-start running again, and eventually run my FIRST marathon!!

-get all my size 10/12 clothes out that i have in bins in my basement and wear them again

-run around with my kids and NOT get short of breath or dizzy

-be able to get ALL my work done everyday at work without leaving exhausted!

-try some of the super short hair cuts i LOVE but would look ridiulous with right now

-wear a pair of jeans with my cowgirl boots TUCKED in!!!! first time EVER

- shop at Lerner New York again (it's been so long i think they have a different name now)

-buy some super cute dresses and start being feminine again

- stay up late with the hubs on friday nights watching movies like we used to years ago (i'm too tired now)

wow...so many more things i can't wait...how about YOU??

I'm going to Disney World!! LOL seriously, I want to take my children. I was so ashamed of planning a trip like that and not being able to enjoy myself on the rides or something as simple as walking through the park(which is several acres big) would have been too much for me, not any more. Also a Disney cruise, before I would look at the pictures of the boat and get teary, thinking will I be comfortable in a stateroom that small? NOT any more! I have so much more energy now, I will teach my girls to rollerblade/rollerskate, jump rope, hula hoop, dive of a diving board, all things I used to do before I packed on so much weight, I've lost some weight so far and I'm finally starting to feel like me again. One last thing is to wear all of the heels in my closet :)

I would do vacations with my DH and kids. Have not been in well almost 5 years for a complete family vacation. Been too busy and really tired since my injury. Use to go twice a year!

I would ride my bike. My favorite sport ever!

I would coach 1 game of basketball my 2nd favorite sport ever.

Extreme sports rock climbing, canoeing, white Water rafting, wind suit sky diving.

Simply workout every single day!

I would finally stop hiding behind other people in photos. And sit comfortably in an airplane seat without ugly looks from fellow passengers. Ride a horse. Do a zip line!! I've always wanted to try that.

I love all things you all said...:) ..my list would take an hour to type..but I will say this.. the #1 thing I will do after surgery is live...I spent over 20 years not living thats all I care about...I dont care that my arms will be flabby or my butt will be flat! I just want to live my life to the fullest with a smile on my face and not have to worry that I am slowly killing myself because of food... hope you all have a wonderful holiday season..

When I lose weight:

Buy new clothes that I actually feel comfortable in.

Start running and tone my legs.

Take less naps.

Be more outgoing.

Go out dancing with my man.

Not be so self conscious.

      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.
