Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I'm winding down on my psych appointments and one of her assignments is to make a "bucket list". A list of all the things you'd like to do after you're healthy. I started mine today.

1. Be able to walk without being winded

2. Wear a single-digit clothing size and shop in the 'normal' clothing stores

3. Be able to live the normal life of a 21-year old, not being restricted by my size.

4.Go to an amusement park and not worry about weight restrictions or if I'll fit in the seat.

5. Go to Europe, on an airplane, and not have a seat belt extender.

those are a few. What are yours?

I want to try kayaking, and I want to be able to go to a movie theater to see a movie without being embarrassed because I can't quite fit into the seat.

Oh, and I want to be able to go to Fenway Park and sit anywhere, rather than having to get standing room only tickets!!!

I of course wanna be healthy but:

I want to be able to wear high boots!!! I have huge calves

I want not to be the biggest woman in the room at work

I want less anxiety when I fly ugh

I want to be in single digits in clothes so I can walk into any store and not be looking at jewelry

I want to wear a pair of VS undies. The hot ones

I want not to be thinking about what to wear in the summer to cover my arms and legs when it is 90 and I'm sweating like a pig (less of that would be nice too)

      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.
