I want to go Skydiving!!! Zip lining , learn to swim. I am going to swim with dolphins and go snorkeling. Travel and enjoy my new healthy life!

Develop my sense of style. Being overweight you don't get much of a choice. Putting my self out there and finding a partner!

CROSSFIT! I have done it in the past but I'm sorry' date=' I know they say its scale-able but if you are heavier than about 230 pounds you are going to hurt yourself and/or your joints. My plan is to power down to as light as I can get as fast as I can (ideally about 200) pounds then start crossfit ASAP to take me the rest of the way.[/quote']

I started crossfit years ago and just got back into it 7 weeks post op and I feel like it's helping me. I started at 290 in Nov and I'm 245 right now... It's scalable you just can't push yourself to something your body isn't capable in doing yet. Good luck

I'd like to take dance classes, wear high heels and cute sun dresses, meet Kenny Chesney, be at the pool or beach and not be afraid of taking off my clothes.

The first thing I wanted to be able to do was just be able to cross my legs and the first time I realized my legs were crossed I cried! Simple things are what get me, like wearing heels all day, fitting in between stuff, sounds boring but I too had a list like a lot of you, skiing, zip lining, skydiving and I always thought I hadn't done these things because I was too fat, in part that was the reason but turns out mostly it's cause I'm a prissy wuss! Lol

      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.
