Perfect blood work

Off all prescriptions except PPI (prescribed post-op)

Shopping at Victoria's Secret

Thinking that I was done with all clothing sizes that started with "X" and then buying in an "XS" maxi skirt

Having my purse fit with me in the seat at the movies

Watching my fitness level improve via lower heart rate and BP

Confidence

Shopping in any store I want, (sometimes in the JR's section)

Barely recognizing myself in pictures

Taking the stairs with my 20 pound computer bag without passing out

Painting my own toenails

Cat calls while walking into the mall (I'm 47 years old!)

Eating out is VERY economical now as I either order ala carte or have leftovers that last several meals

Being able to take a walk on an 80 degree day without sweating myself into a puddle in 5 minutes

Sleeveless tops

      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.
