I'm still far away from where I need to be...I can't wait till I can ride a ride at the amusement park.I can't wait till I can go on the Water rides and not be afraid of getting stuck half way down.I can't wait till I can ride my bike around the neighborhood.I can't wait till I can shop anywhere I want in the mall.

My pack rat ways with clothes are paying off ;-) I'm wearing the shirt I had on the night my husband and I got engaged 5 years ago! Whenever I see pictures from that night I've always thought it was the last time I looked skinny in photos. The best part... its actually a little big now

You'll be there before you know it :-D that was one big thing I wanted to and got to do recently... Ride amusement park rides. The last time I rode one was 9 years ago at 18.... And I embarrassed had to get off a ride cus I didn't fit :-( for years as I bigger I lied and said I didn't like rides cus I was to embarrassed to say I knew I didn't fit. But in February I got on allll the rides. I even want to get a season pass to fiesta Texas :-D

I am excited to take a bath and to own a pair of real leather boots that go to my knee or higher. I have my fathers shins on top of being over weight so I never have owned anything other than ugg style boots and rain boots which were still a pain.

I can't wait to pull that drivers seat up a bit and my tummy not come close to the steering wheel. I finally bought my pretty little Mustang. Now I can't wait to fit into it like I should! :)

      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.
