What Are Some Things You Can't Wait for POST OP?



Recommended Posts

@@butterfyeffect I completely understand. I can not wait to walk into Old Navy and shop, instead of having to purchase their items online only.

For now, I can't wait for the next month to be over. At this point, I will be happy to get back into my 22/24 size clothes that I already have in my closet :) .

Can't wait to come home and not be glued to the couch all night due to lack of energy.

Never been a runner, but for some reason I want to be able to run for exercise.

Stop wearing sleep apnea mask!

Cross my legs, don't ever recall being able to do so.

Not worrying about fitting in booths or how sturdy outdoor furniture is.

Shopping in normal size clothing stores and not paying $60 for a pair of pants.

Being able to ride at amusement parks. I live 30 minutes from hershey park, plan on getting a season pass next year!

Not feeling like everyone is looking at you when you're in public.

Having my husband and son benefit from the new healthily eating and getting them more active with me.

Actually being in photos instead of always taking them.

Many more that I can't think of right now. I see July 24 as the start of many good changes to come :)

Throwing on shorts and a tank top, and leaving the house wearing them! I live in south Florida, it's hot! But I never wear shorts or tank tops out, this would be so awesome for me!

I can't wait to not have to worry about sliding into a booth at a restaurant with friends.

I can't wait to put my laptop on my lap.

Cant wait to cross my legs.

Cant wait to sit on flimsy patio chairs.

Cant wait to fit in a school desk when I go to teacher parent meetings.

Oh my gosh these hit the nail on the head for me-every single one. I'll add:

Wearing a one piece bathing suit with no skirt and looking good!

I'm ready to chew some food again! Seems like I've been on liquids forever! I am ready to wear bright colors and smaller sizes. To sit in a restaurant booth and have room and to not have little kids stare at me.

No, expensive is figuring size 8 is what you were in college and when you got to size 8, you spent a big chunk of money on clothes.

Only to go smaller to the point that the size 8's you can't wear any more.

Yes!!! And then starting to worry as the size 6's you again invested a chunk in start getting loose ????

      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.
