What do you want from this?

Having any WLS is akin to trying to reinvent oneself (or it is to me!). So... If you were suddenly your perfect you... Who would you be?

LOL It has NOTHING to do with my weight, really, but I'm a total Pinterest addict. I would be super fashionable, a great creative cook who made her kids super neat Bento Box lunches for school (everyday!!), decorated my house per holiday, could make origami napkins for parties and decorate cakes like a pro. Silly, I know, but I just love so many things I see that other folks can do and I feel so flabby and BORING!

So, join me in fantasy land. Who would YOU be?

the easy reply to this would be a role model to my kids and grand kids. that is socially correct. The real answer is to be a sexy husband to my wife and to travel with-out health restriction. I am getting there, I am going on a cruise tomarrow, not afraid of the food issues. I want to go to Europe, and that will require a lot of walking so weight loss keep doing what your doing. Love the Band.....

In a perfect world, I would win the lotto and be able to quit my job as a teacher. Then I would split my time between volunteering, traveling, and learning to make art.

I would also speak up for myself more--be a little less PC all the time. I'm learning that though, through increased confidence.

I really want to be me. Might sound silly or smug. Not intended to be I would have liked to changed habits at a younger age so one of my sons would not be dealing with being overweight That would be a perfect world

I do not want to be something I'm not....I am happy to now be the person God intended me to be....and it just keeps getting better everyday...even at my age.

Wish I had done this 20 years ago....where would I be today if I did?

The younger people here just starting out.....just hold on tight...Because you ain't seen nothing yet!

In EVERY aspect of your life, big and small! It is TRULY a life changing event, and NOT just by getting skinny, fit, and eating healthy.....

      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.
