I was just wondering if there are any emotional NSVs that anyone is looking forward to.

I am looking forward to not feeling ashamed when I run into someone I haven't seen in a long time or meeting new people. I'm also looking forward to feeling comfortable just sitting on a bench.

Anyone else have an emotional NSV they've experienced or hope to experience?

In September one of my good friends is getting married. And he invited my ex. Who I haven't seen since we broke up right after my similar.

I want to be able to hold my head high in a cute dress when I see him again.

I know I'm special, But he didn't.

I just want to show him how far I've come, and how I was able to better my life without him.

One of my best friends is getting married next May and I'm looking forward to not being the "fat girl" at the wedding. I'm looking forward to hopefully feeling comfortable in my own skin rather than ashamed of my body and what I allowed myself to get to.

I want, in the long scale of things, to go to my 10 year high school reunion in a couple of years, and feel confident. I want to show people that I am more than just my weight.

But more immediately, I would love to be able to go to a theatre or concert and not have to worry if I will be able to fit in the seat, or if I'm gonna walk out with swollen thighs from sitting someplace too small for me. It may seem like a little thing, but I just want to feel normal

As someone who has gone thru this butterfly transformation. From 340 to maintaining 155 lbs... my confidence is thru the roof. My body was going thru all these changes and it has taken a long time for my mind to catch up. Good luck to you all... I think you are all beautiful just the way you are but just wait... It is going to get sooooo much better!!!

      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.
