Good question

Maybe some one can chime in but skinny sex is a term we coined here. For me, At my heaviest I couldn't get in certain positions like on top etc. Now my libido is higher and I'm less tired with 60lbs loss. Hope some one else will answer your question too with their opinion.

3. I'm learning how to have a healthy relationship with food (it's not controlling my life anymore)

4. I have more energy to play with my kids

5. I love clothes shopping again!

1. Wife won't leave me alone now!

2. Rarely watch tv anymore. I always want to go outside and do something.

3. Getting comments literally daily about how great I look now.

4. Saving money because I'm biking to work now instead of driving. It's 20 miles round trip and at 12 mpg, it's saving me $6 each day.

5. I fit into movie theater and airline seats and restaurant booths now without having to shoehorn my fat into them. It's fantastic!

      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.
