O as I'm sitting here thinking of what I am most anxious to buy after I lose my weight... I am also wondering what YOU are anxious to buy?

For my personal "reward" to myself... I am anxious to buy new shorts and sleeveless shirts for summer time! If I hit goal weight in winter, I will be so excited to buy a pair of skinny jeans and new boots! That's my reward to myself!! Is it bad that I am already thinking about rewards for hitting goal? I'm also thinking that every 6 mos that I stay at goal.... I'll treat myself to a new outfit (as I will surely need em!) and on the yr mark... I will get a new pair of shoes!!

Thinking I might have a great reward system for myself! ;-)

I'm waiting on buying clothes until I'm closer to where I think I will end off on the weight loss. I did however buy a smaller vehicle already. A brand newish Mini Cooper.

I had to buy some clothes because I donated all of my 3x/ 18 shirts and size 54 pants. My wife has been buying me a lot of clothes in large now that my waist is a 38. I still have 35 lbs to go, so I'm not buying anything else for now.

I'm also in New York but hate the Northeast winters and your cocoon will offer a bit less insulation for you next year. I am almost 11 months out and freezing all of the time. Good luck to you on your journey.

That's my fear.... I have always slept with fans on and windows open. (Yes even in the ohio winters) and I am always hot.... I can't imagine always being cold. Wonder if that happens I a lot of people as they lose the weight?

      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.
