Can't wait to fit "in" a chair, rather than "on" a chair. Also looking forward to being able to wear standard jewelry (7.5" bracelets, 18" necklaces, etc) and not always having to look for the larger one. Anxious to wear short sleeved blouses and dresses/skirts again.

Going to get a pedicure without feeling like the person doing your pedicure is laughing or talking about you in a different language or feeling like they are arguing about who is gonna service you lol

I can definitely relate to this! I have had one pedicure, on my wedding day. I have always felt so self conscious about this. I guess I always felt like I was unworthy and I felt like the technician was disgusted with me. I've had a few manicures and the technicians have been really rude and wouldn't really talk to me and would talk in a foreign language to their co workers.

What I'm looking forward to:

  • The option to have children and be a good example if I do
  • A better/healthier relationship with my husband
  • Becoming a runner and completing a marathon
  • Fitting comfortably into an airplane seat (I've avoided flying due to this)
  • Shopping with my sister in the normal sizes (We've NEVER been able to do this together!)
  • Enjoying amusement park rides again!
  • Shopping at VS for the first time ever and not having to go straight to the beauty/makeup dept because nothing fits!
  • Not being the fat invisible/overlooked friend
  • Not worrying about weight restrictions
  • Kayaking
  • Not feeling so miserable during this Memphis heat!

I hear ya! One summer back in 2005, I was working as a cashier in between college terms and this little old lady asked me when I was due. I was so humiliated! I had no idea what to say to her!

You guys have listed so many great things. I have to say for me the greatest of the great is just enjoying feeling good about being me. There really are no words to describe how delicious that feels. Every day, every hour, every minute, every place - I'm loving being me. That's the reward at the end of the journey and it is priceless.

      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.
