When was your surgery? Mine was Dec 18.

Mine was dec. 20. Showers are fine, but I'm ready for a nice long soak. Hope you are healing nicely.

As fun as this topic is, I was kind of scared of it at first, but seeing as surgery is tomorrow... here I go!

I can't wait to...

Stop pretending I'm afraid or don't like things bc I don't feel comfortable or won't fit (roller coasters/ dancing/ planes)

Not be so winded when walking/ climbing/ hiking

Set a good, healthy example for my students

Find a man who loves me and not a boy who is okay being with me as long as no one really knows

Have a baby (one day ;)

Not be embarrassed and feel like everyone is thinking "what is she doing here?" at "regular" clothing stores

Be as beautiful as my sis :)

Not sweat so much (hopefully- maybe it's just the genes lol)

Buy CHEAP, CUTE clothes

Be PROUD of my eating habits

LIKE to exercise

Travel, take a celebratory trip

Not have food as my hobby (what will be my hobby? lol)

Feel more comfortable in heels (is that possible?)

Cross my legs without holding my foot to pin them together *ugh*

Not worry about sliding into a booth, sitting in stadium chairs, etc.

Not knocking people out of the way when trying to squeeze through some where

Have better control and agility of my body

Feel better

Be normal

NEVER BE IN THIS STATE AGAIN!!!!

Good luck to us all :)

I am tearing up reading all these. Gosh it's so amazing to have so many "family" members going through this-

My list-

I can't wait to see my bones again- and feel them (my hips are there I know it!!!)

Feel pretty again

Walk proud and not schlumped over

Fit comfortably in a plane seat (if that's possible)

Go skydiving/parasailing

Let my husband see the fun healthy girl I am inside

Run/play/wrestle my boys for a long while and not short spurts.

Zumba w/out pain

Eat and not feel guilty or wonder where it's going to show up-

Worm- I have family in Pittsburgh and am from northern wv- love kennywood!

I. Will. Not. Fail.

aayres and worm...i live in Murrysvile, about 20 min away from Pgh. That's cool to connect with people in the area!

Things I look forward to:

Buying a Victoria Secret bra ( ha! whoever said that earlier..so true!)

Wearing boots that fit over my calf

Having the energy and wanting to play outside with my kids

Not shopping for plus size clothes

Not having my heart race after going up the steps

Being able to go to the amusement park and not be afraid the seatbelt won't reach

To be around my husbands friends/wives without feeling insecure about how i look or what their thinking of me

Be able to enjoy working out again at the gym..i love lifting weights..maybe even get tone again!!!

Be able to wear button fly jeans that make my ass look great-ha!

Not have my belly rub on my steering wheel.

Not living in fear of sitting in a lawn chair.

Not tying my shoelace on the side of my shoes and in the center like "normal" people.

To bras that come in more colors then white, black, and beige.

YES! That is what I'm looking forward to the most, cute and pretty lingerie!

My most embarrassing moment was breaking a lawn chair with my weight in front of a man that I've wanted to date for a few years now. I've never seen him again....

I also want to walk in a room where my body parts don't knock things onto the floor, lol.

      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.
