You had to buy a ring snuggie for your wedding band/engagement ring because they fall off your finger.

I will get them resized once I am done losing weight!

you venture into the pool all summer and teach yourself how to swim because your confidence levels are to the roof

staying home ONE DAY gives you cabin fever because you rather be out and about burning all your energy

you daydream about getting a Brazilian butt lift

On another note: I see some eye candy on this thread... Name's a combination of letters & numbers..... Hello, boys!!

You go into the store wearing saggy size 14 jeans, you pull a 12 off the rack to try on and in the dressing room you realize you need a size 10! YES!!!! Last wore a size 10 in my early 20's.

Clothes from the Jr department fit better than the "regular" women's section
You can't shop even at the non-plus-size stores you used to because the clothes there are too big. #IKindaMissChicos
You can do your own pedicures
You're no longer camera shy
When someone calls you tiny lil' thing and you realize they mean YOU!
When you can spend 8 hours painting, doing house work yard work or whatever and actually be able to get up and work out the next day!
When you sit down on something hard and realize you're a little uncomfortable as you don't have the passing you once did back there!

      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.
