Like getting on a bus and not seeing the look of dread on peoples face at the thought i might sit next too them..

Like sitting on a bus and not have my body "spill out" of my seat onto the person next to me.

Like going in to a clothes shop and not having little or no choice ... Or having to ask if they have it in a bigger size ( even in a "big girls" shop. )

Like eating out and not finishing everything on my plate... And the plate of my husband/ kids...

Like getting a hug from my kids and they ate so so happy that their arms now go all the way around me!! ...

What small things make u happy?

I love your post! Congrats on you successful weight loss and so happy your life has gotten easier! My surgery date was March 5,13 and have to say I have been on so much pain in my incisions I lost track of my goals to a healthier life. Your post was a wonderful reminder. Btw--so far loving the feeling of my double chin getting smaller. It's noticeable when I lay down with my IPad and type. God bless!

I am a RN in a hospital and I have to say losing weight has given me more energy for my 12 hours shifts. I feel better about myself and am way more positive.

I also love that I don't obsess about food anymore and I eat to live not live to eat. There are so many positives from this surgery...

I had this conversation with myself earlier...there are times I forget to eat until I get a bit queasy or shaky. I NEVER dreamt I'd ever be someone that could forget to eat!!!!

      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.
