Sitting in the recliner with my feet pulled up into the seat.

Shopping in regular size area even if it's 16/18s.

Walking the dogs and they get tired first.

Getting carded when going into a casino. I'm getting close to being 40 and I'm the only one of the group that they carded. I called my friend's husband dad the rest of the evening as he has sons that are 23 & 25. Lol.

So far,

Crossing my legs

Returning a shirt because it was to BIG

Not constantly thinking of food

My husbands arms going all the way around me

Running up a flight of stairs

Not being winded bringing the laundry from the basement to the top floor

My Favorite NSV's are:

Not having to ask for an extension on an airplane

Walking down an aisle of an airplane without apologizing for almost knocking someone out.

Getting off the coach on the first try

Crossing my legs

Getting dressed without sitting down

Being able to ride any coaster at an amusement park

Not having to worry if the ladder is going to hold me or not

Tying my shoes without almost passing out.

Taking the golf ball out of the hole without getting on my knees first

Having the grand kids get tired before I do

Leaving food on the plate without feeling guilty

Wow there are so many I could list but here is a small list. I will spare you all by omitting the TMI ones.

  • Walked a 5K for Breast Cancer Awareness back in Sept. 18 months ago I couldn't walk the Supermarket for 10 minutes! Next year I am planning a team for Relay for Life.
  • Gone from a size 62 jeans to a size 40!!
  • No longer shelling out big money for Big&Tall and Catalog clothing. $17 bucks for jeans at Walmart :rolleyes:
  • Ability to go to any restaurants and no longer have to wait for a table when there are booths available
  • Sitting in any chair without the fear of breaking it. Still I have reservations because I sometimes forget I am not as big as I was.
  • Going to a movie theater and worry about whether or not the arm rests are movable
  • Not only did I attend my buddies Wedding this past Summer but I was in it!! AND I was styling in that Tux.
  • Adjusting my seat up in my truck and tilting the steering wheel a bit
  • Arthritis in my knee has not flared up in over a year and I can't remember where I put my Cane B)
  • Crossing my legs. I think we all said that one and it is amazing the smallest thing could mean so much
  • I no longer get stared at like I am some sort of Circus attraction.

Just about every day someone is commenting on how good I look. I still have a long way to go, but it makes me feel good! I'm happy with my decision to do this! I still get a little overwhelmed, but I think I'm doing pretty good :-)

      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.
