Being able to buy clothes at the "regular" stores.

Being able to get excited about outfits, instead of focusing on accessories.

Being able to hurry up three flights of stairs at work without feeling out of breath, old and tired.

Being in FRONT of the camera more, and not being self-conscious about how many chins I show when I smile for a photo.

Taking my kids to the beach during high-traffic times instead of waiting till after supper so that fewer people are there to see me.

Less joint pain in my knees when I stand up all day teaching.

Not having to grit my teeth and put up with the armrests of movie theater/airline seats digging in to my hips.

Sashaying around renfaires in corsets that don't make me look like a tube of toothpaste someone squashed in the middle.

Not hearing the voice in my head that says "I look cute today--for a heavy girl"...time to ditch that second part of the sentence!

Not worrying about not living long enough to see my baby grow up.

Not worrying about possibly getting diabetes or heart disease (runs in a fam)

Get rid of my high blood pressure

Not thinking about what others think of me every time I eat out.

Take more pictures of myself. I always photograph others.

Go back home for christmas and see the look on people's faces when they see me!

Shop in normal size aisle, not even look at the plus size all the way back in the store.

Buy cute lingerie for my husband without feeling stupid and ugly.

Not to sweat so much in the summer.

Buy a really expensive pair of jeans that would make my butt look amazing.

Wear high heels with no problems. I own like 60 pairs of heels and they just patiently wait in the closet.

So, so, so many things... it makes me wanna cry for some reason. 06/11 is so close.

Sometimes I think about being about to walk in any store and buy anything I want. Also I felt good when I got on a plane and I was able to sit in the seat without asking for an extension for the belt. The last time was in 2008 and I weight 289lbs. That was the last time I was on a plane before now. I would like to be able to walk infront of a mirror without it making me look 3x bigger.

      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.
