OK if this surgery doesn't happen soon I think I'll lose my mind. It's getting so hot here in Vegas and I wish I could wear cute little shorts and sun dresses with no sleeves! Next summer I guess. But come winter I will be putting on small jeans and nice boots and a top that shows how small I'll be! I am going to have boudoir (sp?) Pics done for my husband that knocks his socks off for Christmas! And by next summer I will be sporting the shortest shorts a 45 year old can get away with! And for Halloween I am ordering one of those sexy Legg Avenue costumes that I always wished I could wear and not in the plus size! Hurry up surgery date! Lol

Omg. Wow. You must be excited. Congrats. I know the day will eventually be here, but it feels like I've been waiting forever. How long did you have to wait? Where's your surgery being done? Keep me posted on how you are doing!

It took about 4 months, I didn't have to do a supervised diet, so that helped. I'm having it done in Woodstock IL. I'm excited

I can't wait to wear all the cute clothes I see online that don't come in my size currently!

I think one of the first thing's I'll do come next summer is get my Belly Button Pierced, Which might seem like a super silly outdated thing to do but when I was in Middle/High School it was the "IN" thing and a right of passage for young girls to go to the beach that summer and get it done and since I was always over weight I never had the courage to do it.

I love that idea. I think I might as well! And then show it off! :)

      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.
