Wow I can touch An area on my leg I couldn't reach before. I look down and my belly does not stick out as much as before I can see my feet!! This is so exciting for me.Do you remember moments like this? Anything funny?

yes but my collar bones were the best. I am sure they were sticking out for a while before I noticed them popping out. I knew they were in me but didn't remember what I looked like with them pronounced

This made me laugh hysterically. My fingers no longer resemble Breakfast sausage links - that was my first "not-so fat" thought.

I lost the cushion in my butt... now I have a bony butt. Hurts to sit on the floor & play Barbie's with my grand daughter, so I sit on a pillow! But at least I can get on the floor & back up now! Yay for NSV's!!!!

I'm starting to find my ribs and my hip bones. They are still covered in a thick layer of fat but at least they are detectable now!

Pelvic Bone for me and being able to prop my foot up on my dresser and put my socks on without gasping for air

Silly as it sounds, I stared at my shoulders for a good ten minutes the other day. They're better defined now and it when I wear a shirt it doesn't look like I shoved pillows up my sleeves.

i'm still preop, but i thought i'd share my goal: pick up a pencil off the floor w/o that move...you know the one, the sitting splits or the wobble to the left so i can bend far enough to pick it up...yeah...that's my goal. I don't have a goal weight, I just want to pick up a pencil.

Yes it's great being able to bend overand tie my shoes without coming up red in the face, feeling my bones I haven't felt in so many years and not being so self conscience when my husband throws his arm over my waist...bc now I have one. My ladies even look better not having to compete with my tummy ;) It's an awesome feeling.

      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.
