Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

1. Normal blood pressure and stopping those medications.

2. Shop in "normal" stores. I am only 5'2" and at 224 lbs it is very hard to shop and look cute.

3. My secret of all dreams is to get pregnant next year and have a baby. I have been married 15 years and never been pregnant. I am 41 so I am already pushing it but it is my most inner desire. Having gone thru multiple rounds of invetro and suffering from pcos, I really pray and hope this is my cure and answer.

4. To feel sexy again.

:)

Hi! My biggest dream is to be able to wear shorts/skirt without feeling ashamed that people are looking at how thick my legs are(also the fact my thighs rubs each other). But my biggest dream of all is being able to go to different stores and not having to quickly see their biggest size in store. Yesterday I went to the mall and I saw all the colorful clothes, smaller size that I will be able to use next summer. I cannot wait!! :rolleyes: WAY TO EXCITED :rolleyes:

Agreed. I can't wait to steal all my sisters size 10 clothes that are adorable! I'm sick of being 23 getting "Woman Within" catalogs. When I'm at my goal size I'm going to order every clothing item from every normal catalog I get. ;-)

Will this be the 2nd weight-loss surgery for anyone else? I am having a band removed and converting to RNY.

I am also a band to bypass. I don't have my date yet but I hope it's June. I'm already approved from the insurance company so I'm just waiting on my Drs. Office to give me a date. Fingers crossed!

The results I want from surgery are:

1) No more meds! and Diabetes reversed!

2) I want to put on a shirt without a "busted can of biscuits" (I passed the "muffin top" long ago)

3) I want to walk into a normal store and buy my clothes instead of the fat lady store.

I know that there are many, many more things that I want to do and feel, but this is a start.

I have always had big boobs even when I was thin. In fact my nickname when I was young was " betty boop". But 40DD isn't like a 32D. I want the sexy little demi cup where my husbands eyes pop Outta his head! :)

      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.
