You pick off your significant others plate instead of buying your own at a restaurant.

You cross your arms a dozen times a day without resting them on top of your boobs just because you CAN.

When you are in the dressing room and realize that the size 8 is too big.

You try on the favorite clothes that you used to wear before owls & they really hang off , or trying a size on at the store that you think will fit you & you have to get a smaller size.

You're on a "planes, trains and automobiles" trip ( a hilarious John candy movie) and the whole trip is better, easier and more fun than any one I went on before WLS ! I

( I'm on an Amtrak as I write this, yesterday was "carry a 50 lb backpack and 2 other things and make a dang quick fast walking connection between 2 trains " !! Hubby said " I can't believe you just did that ! You're a trooper !!" Thank you Lap Band ! )

When you've finally reach a normal BMI and are amazed you've reached it after 28yrs! :-)

At restaurants you get to order just an appetizer and it totally fills you up!

You no longer want to go to a buffet because you can't eat your money's worth!

Your foodie friends are a little irritated when you finish your meal way before them.

You don't have to shop in the plus size stores!

You can easily walk through the mall where the really cute clothes finally fit you!

I could go on and on....

You can't stop looking at/examining your collar bones, wrists, ankles, ribs and hip bones cause you've never actually knew they existed.

Your bras cost less, which is a good thing because your buying them every two months or so

You throw away food with little guilt

Your stomach and thighs look like melting silly putty and you couldn't care less!

Weight loss ads are no longer intriguing, but profoundly annoying.

Cameras and mirrors are now your friends

      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.
