Goals; What are you looking forward to MOST?



Recommended Posts

One of the little things I am looking forward to is being able to wear my rings again. I have my grandma's 50th wedding anniversary ring that I stopped being able to wear a few years ago. I have others, I love rings and right now I cant squeeze them onto my fat sausage fingers.

So, what are YOU most looking forward to doing with your smaller body?

Funny you mentioned rings. I just got mine back from the jeweler yesterday. Pre op I never thought about my fingers getting smaller but they did! I had to go down 1.5 sizes.

I have lost 100lbs so far. The one thing I used to dread the most was "will I be able to sit in the booth" like at a restaurant. Even now I get that thought in my head. But an pleasantly surprised I have no problems sitting in one now.

i recently just fit back into my engagement and wedding rings! Awesome nsv. I won't lie I cried. I am looking forward to going zip lining and doing outdoor activities with my 3 year old and husband that I was just too embarrassed to try. I also want to be able to run a marathon, but that is months from now...maybe even a year.

      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.
