I was on the Vertical Sleeve forum until I went to the surgeon & he recommended gastric bypass instead. Someone on there had started a thread of the top ten things they were looking forward to doing after losing their weight. I thought I'd share my list here: (but I have 20)

1. Ride a bike without the tires digging into the dirt 4 inches.

2. Use the stairs at work instead of the elevator

3. Sit in a booth at a restaurant instead of insisting on a table.

4. Feel like my husband is really proud of me

5. Rekindle love life with husband

6. Scuba dive

7. Parasail

8. turn diabetes around

9. give up CPAP

10. turn high blood pressure around

11. watching all my grandchildren grow up

12. look good at the pool without wearing cover ups

13. not drive around and around the parking lot looking for the closest spot

14. learn to dance (even though I've been told I have no rhythm!)

15. wear high heels again without feeling like I'm front heavy

16. surf

17. be able to wear my class ring on my ring finger instead of my pinky

18. Not have to ask for the seatbelt extender on an airplane.

19. Do a cartwheel

20. Not feel like I've been passed up for a promotion because of my appearance

Number 6!! I plan on getting certified next year after I lose my weight. I've always wanted to do this. It's going to be my reward to myself.

      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.
