My daughter has two kayaks in our shed. Maybe I should take up kayaking...

I have always wanted to try kayaking. I live in Florida 1.5 miles from the ocean. Maybe this is my year. I told my niece she can teach me to surf this year. Now that will be a sight but I want her to know I will try anything once (well within reason).

Do it! Kayaking is high on my goals list along with bike riding. I live in Washington state so it has to wait until summer, but I will totally be small enough for it by then.

Yes, I'm waiting for summer, too! It seems so far away...

I went to a party on Saturday. Well, we all ended up getting in the hot tub. So, all my clothes were wet. One of the people that lived there handed me some dry clothes. I asked what size they were and his response to me was "you realize you're the smallest one here, does it really matter what size they are?" Lol made me stop and realize I'm not the 300+ lb girl anymore.

Isn't that an AMAZING feeling! I've been buying 8's and I was formerly a pretty tight 22, too. I keep thinking this can't be real, I can't possibly be an 8! That maybe the clothes are running big but I never had clothes run big when I was a 22...

I'm down 5 sizes in 7 months. When I'm shopping for my new size, I look at it and think there is no way it's going to fit. Then I try it on and do the happy dance!

I do the same thing! I manage to get them up and I'm like what?! No way lol

And dance like a raccoon on crack for about 5 minutes and then look around to see if anyone is looking at me like I'm crazy lol

I'm down to a 18 from a 28 and fit in a 16 but not comfortably yet to go in public with them yet lol

It is up there with best feelings in the world. Love that I went through with the surgery! :D

      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.
