As of rite now my list is short(I'm only down 30lb 2 1/2 mo post op), but I know it will get longer. I only get on the scale at my Dr. appointments and try to not use it as a measure of my success.

My once tight jeans falling off

Seeing my boobs when I look down instead of my stomach.lol

Feeling hip bones, collar bones, and ribs

Crossing my legs

And although I don't yet see it I love when people tell me I look different and thinner

Okay,, my list is getting longer but.. a few are: being able to ride my horses again.. ,

shopping non stop with my grandgirls.. they are always on a Marathon in the Mall.

crossing my legs

tying my shoes

shaving my legs

being able to clean my tubs without puffing and huffing.

walking around Walmart or any other store with no problem..

Saw a man the other day who I hadn't seen in a year.. He did not recognize me at first.. then he stopped and said OMG you look GREAT... that was cool.

My daughter tells me she is so proud of me and happy that I am healthier... Love this one...

Well this past week I made my first air travel since being banded 4 months ago. I didn't feel wedged into the seat and didn't have the fear of having to ask for the extender belt. Overall it was as enjoyable as coach could be on a 5 hour trip despite being in a middle seat.

Oh that's a great one! I bet you were so happy!!

I flew last December and was pleasantly shocked when I fit comfortably, too. I had avoided air travel for probably 18 years because I knew I didn't fit in the seats at all. Now, I am looking for excuses to fly :)

I just went to Macy's and bought two knit t-shirts, size XL. I started in August 2011 wearing 4X or 5X dreaming of buying things at Macy's!

One more- I was buying a wrist band at my Zumba class, when the lady selling it started to warn me that they didn't stretch much and were prone to snapping. Then, she looked at me and said, "Oh, you don't have to worry. You're smaller than me, and your wrists are tiny." I should have hugged her! She made my week!

Ok. Adding on...

I'm stealing my teenage son's clothes.

Yeah I'm a girl. But just this week I needed a hoodie one morning. Grabbed one of mine (3x) and it just swallowed me so I took one of his that he doesn't wear (L) and it's a bit big.

And then we been cleaning out closets and such this week and he brings me a stack of athletic shorts. I've always worn men's athletic shorts (2X) as I find women's are not long enough nor heavy enough. And I fit into some mediums he no longer can wear.

Yay for me as I don't need to go buy any workout shorts now. I was starting to look a bit scary when walking the dogs as all my workout/sweats were many sizes too large.

      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.
