I wont miss sweating so bad that i get rashes in betweem rolls.

Ugh, I know, those hurt. I started putting deodorant under my belly so I didn't sweat there as much. Can't wait until I only need to use deodorant where its supposed to go!!!

Sadly, until I hit the lottery and can get it removed, I will need something under my floppy tummy and boobs. Too much saggage :(

Funny one! My license still reads 110lbs. That was my weight in 1980! I went to 115 lbs when I married in 1982. Then I blew up like a balloon when I got pregnant with my twins in 1986. I was never small again. My original license weight never got changed - evidently no one looks at the weight on them. Lol

I havent checked out my license in a while....so after reading these comments about it I had to go look.... I am ALMOST down to the weight I said I was on my license...!! I know the ladies that make the license in our town must laugh their butts off sometimes. I was 370lbs plus and my license says 253, who was I kidding??? Did I really think I was hiding all that?

I'm looking forward to just being able to look at myself, whether in pictures on Facebook, my image in a mirror or my reflection as I walk toward a glass door. I've become so accustomed to simply avoiding these things, it's second nature. Also, having my shadow not be twice as big as the person I'm walking with. My surgery is schedule August 26, I need to change.

Jumping in the pool and actually being able to swim on the bottom and not shooting to the surface like a rocket because the fat makes you float, I used to hate trying to get something out of the drain in the deep end because I would jump in and touch the bottom and before I could grab whatever was in the drain my fat would speed me to the surface. My kids would love to ride on my back when I went under cause I thought I was going under but not really. I just bobbed along the surface. I was their flotation device.

I totally agree, I used to be a stylist and hated having a mirror at my station!

I was able to buy a pair of high heels that weren't wide widths! I never used to be able to fit shoes at JC Penny's, now I'm strutting in my new high heeled wedges.

I just came across one today :(

My friends are all going tubing down the river this Saturday- and I just pulled up the website:

"Inflatable kayaks, Rafts and our New TubePro Double tubes are better and safer options for kids and Adults who don't fall under the recommended age, size and weight."

How embarrassing. There is another thing I will be making an excuse to miss. So.....I am excited to stop making up excuses why I have to miss fun activities with my friends and family.

This is my very first post (I found this forum today) and I am cracking up over here! I am so with all of you! I can't wait to paint my toenails' date=' be able to "groom" again, wrap a bath towel all the way around, quit sweating so much, be able to shop in normal stores, wear heals.....so much to look forward to![/quote']

So my very 1st post was a year ago, and...

I can paint my toenails,

I am "groomed",

Even the tiny towels at the gym (yes, GYM) fit,

I'm not sweating anymore,

I can shop anywhere I want,

And I wear heels!!!

      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.
