I can't wait to not be a sweaty mess. BUT. Since I started this liquid diet, I was always warm. Hot. Sweaty even walking around school. Since Wednesday, I've been freezing. As in my heat is almost never set higher than 68 cause I'm just usually that warm, but since Friday, I've set it at 70, 72, even 73 today! I loving it!!

I can't wait go walk into ANY store and shop for clothes.

To not be so out if breath by stairs that I use the elevator and look like a fat lazy person.

ENERGY.

I can't wait to play tennis again.

I really can't wait until the first person says "holy **** you look amazing"

Or to put my boots on without needing stairs cause I'm to fat to bend over too far. Lol

And so many more that I can't think of right now.

I want to run after my daughter and not feel like I'm dying. I also want three more babies! But I would settle for one more. I want to get back to exercise. Right now I feel self-conscious and physically ill when I workout. I haven't been this inactive in years.

I don't wanna look at a picture of me and cringe. Or see myself in the mirror and think "omg am I really that big?" I want to be comfy on a plane or in a movie theater. I want to shop all day with my daughter like I did before I got hurt. I look forward to seeing my BF's face in July when he'll see me for the first time after surgery. Hells yeah.

Great I Wants. Any more? Keep them coming.

I want to be able to eat a small portion, feel full and push the food away feeling satisfied.

I want to out live my hips (I had both resurfaced due to arthritis). I want to walk and move pain free.

I want to stop getting rashes under the folds.

I want to flaunt it!!!!!!!!! Yes at my age I can still flaunt it when I'm at my goal weight. LOL

I want to look decent in a swim suit.

I want to not have a panic attack when my family says "let's go on another cruise."

I want to say fuck you to my in-laws.

When I go to a restaurant I don't want my ass to be bigger than the chair. I'd love to not have to squeeze in a booth with my boobs sitting on the table on display. I wanna wear a dress that isn't " Coleman-tent" sized. I'd love to wear heels, I'd love to dress up as a genie for Halloween. Sure I could do the genie off Aladdin but I'd prefer the "I dream of genie" outfit. Lol

Girl, I fell asleep for just a couple of minutes. Nodded off. I swear I woke thinking I had cheated on my pre-op diet Bc I dreamed I'd walked to the fridge and pulled out some pizza and ate it. I woke in a panic Bc I thought I had.

Had EGD yesterday. Dr. was pleased. I have a small hiatal hernia that he will fix during surgery. Took some biopsy's. He said to start my liquid pre-op diet today. Now I just wait on insurance. Still shooting for February 24th or March 3rd. The waiting is killing me smalls!!!

#2 is us last night! HAHAHAHA! And let's be honest, they've all been us at some point! Thanks for the fun late night chats. That's when I'm most anxious and you guys definitely help alleviate that.

And Shersun, I loved that you re-directed us to our "want to." That was awesome!

  • Your welcome JenC.

Now lets do the I WANT not the I don't wants. The I'm going to not the I can't. Example I'm going to be able to walk up the stairs w/o breathing heavy.

. I'm going to walk a mile and feel energized.

I'm going to be able to look in a mirror and smile at how good I look.

I'm going to pass up example donuts............fill in the blank........... and feel good walking away from them. I will enjoy eating healthy food in small portions. I will pat my self on the shoulder for every positive step no matter how small.

How many can you think of? Remember to put a positive note on it with I will, I want, I can, I plan,

We're close to surgery so lets get positive. We can do this and will do it.

The Secret is an excellent easy book to read if you guys haven't read it. Here's a url for comments and info on the book from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/The-Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392142131&sr=8-1&keywords=the+secret There is also a DVD of it.

Came down with a cold so am working to get rid of it before surgery Mon.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
