I haven't even reached my goal weight and here are the things that have already hanged, and in only 4 short months!

1. I don't get out of breath when I walk up the stairs anymore!!

2. I can shop at regular stores and I actually enjoy it now!

3. I no longer feel like the fat girl in the room which is an AMAZING feeling.

4. I can wear boots now! My calfs used to be so big that boots wouldn't fit

5. My over all body image issues have seriously diminished!

6. I look in the mirror and for once I like what I see

7. I don't avoid going out with friends anymore because I have nothing to wear

8. No more unsolicited weight loss advice

9. I can shop at Victoria's Secret! :)

10. I just feel so much healthier! I wish I would have done this sooner!

How is everyone else feeling!?

I'm only 8 weeks out, but there have been definite changes:

*fitting into smaller clothes

*walked all around the state fair Friday night, without getting out of breath and without hurting

*fitting into restaurant booths better

*feeling better overall

Loving my sleeve!!!

      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.
