Ok...so I was reading all of this at work and busted out laughing because it is all so true! Everyone thinks I am nuts now. You all are so great and such motivation.

I dont know--- my extra weight gave me a lot of momentum, shot out of the Water slide like a cannonball! My mom snorted and laughed so hard...

And I am extra bouyant when i snorkel, but gonna need a big paddle board to float on when the seal blubber goes!

OMG! Sounds like me! And I so have a fear of the fire department having to rescue me too...

I am laughing so hard at work my coworkers are thinking I've lost my mind! (well, they know i am a nut anyway!)

I will not miss stinky shoes. I would not wear socks because I didn't want my hubby to see me struggle to put them on. I can put on socks now no problem!

I know. I would have my friend put my sucks on for me and tie my walking shoes when we were gonna work out while my hubby was at work. I'm glad that is over.

I will not miss...

- being held back from doing so many physical things because my weight limits my energy and too much pain

- being constantly underestimated because of the way I look

- buying clothes from catalogs

- my chest and my neck fat meeting (HATE IT)

- shirts constantly riding up my belly

- feeling so darn physically awkward all the time

- looking older than I am

And pretty much everything everyone else has already said! Good riddance!

I know what you mean!! My shirts used to be too short all the time!! And I wanted them long enough to cover my big belly so people wouldnt stare at it. And I cant say enough how wonderful the added energy is! LOVE IT!

Well u know what I noticed?!? I am opening the bathroom door in public bathrooms and not try to do some weird dance squeezing in and trying not to brush all up on the toilet trying to get into the stall cause the area inside the stall is too small. I hate public toilets anyways and totally get grossed out. Feel so much better when I'm able to just open the door and walk in.

I don't miss my boobs ending up under my neck when I lay down. And my snoring has stopped. The only snoring my husband hears now is from the dog! :-)

      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.
