I won't miss my 4 year old granddaughter asking me loudly in a crowded checkout line if I have a baby in my belly! Also I won't miss anymore high school reunions because I am embarrassed about my weight.

I will not miss the pain from the weight affecting my arthritis. I will not miss the increased pain from fibromyalgia. I will not miss feeling fat when I make love to my husband. I will not miss feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I will not miss fear of running into someone I know. I will not miss feeling like I'll always be fat.

I also can't wait to have less pain from both the weight and Fibromyalgia!

I pray that after surgery, I will still have a round booty! That my behind will look nicely! Lord, please let me look like Beyoncé in my clothes!

Be around my "cute" friends and not feel awful about myself.

Hahaha, my cute friends make me feel cuter! Obviously this is flawed logic but I don't even care.

To spin this, I'm going to talk about stuff I'm looking forward to:

- Halloween costume shopping

- stocking up on CHEAP clothes (plus sizes are so expensive!)

- going to NYC to see shows again (I haven't been in so long!)

- taking a vacation (I don't even pretend I could afford a 2nd airplane ticket) to Nova Scotia, Iceland, Russia, Istanbul, Ireland, or anywhere!

- adorable outerwear (especially cable knit stuff or stuff with unusual/asymmetrical cuts)

- beating my high score on Thriller (Michael Jackson Wii game)

- riding my bike again (knees hurt too much right now!)

- sleeping through the entire night without waking up even once

- keeping up with nephews/friends kids/maybe my own some day

- a million things I probably haven't thought of. :)

I won't miss not being able to sit in a booth at a restaurant unless the table moves. Definitely won't miss the sweating in places I should not, and not being able to play with my kids because I get so tired so quickly due to my heaviness.

I won't miss being the "Fat Mom" at my kids' school

I won't miss the resentment I've grown to have for myself

I, too, won't miss the extra pain on my knees, back...everything

I CANNOT WAIT to find the perfect cocktail dress and have my husband be proud to take me out on the town

What is it with boots? I wanna be able to wear those, too!

I want to be able to take my kids to the pool during the summer and not hide under towels or a coverup

So much more...

I will not miss my bikini cut under wear rolling down! Ugh hate that sooo much! I will not miss feeling hung over the next morning from overeating or binging on sweets the night before! I will not miss feeling frustrated when nothing looks right on my body & I have to go be social while feeling sick of being in my own skin. I will not miss not wanting to be close to my bf because I feel gross. I will not miss feeling hot & sweaty because I skipped a shower & had a hot cup of coffee! Lol most of all I will not miss feeling ugly when out with my bf & there are thin beautiful woman around that I know my bf would be attracted to. Amen!

I won't miss upper body fat bulging out every time i sit.

I won't miss clothes fitting somewhat ok standing, uncomfortable when sitting.

My surgery is scheduled for December 2nd, my pre op appt is tomorrow. So the count down begins.

I am lucky to have a coworker having same surgery on the same day.

I think nearly everything that's already been mentioned I won't miss.

The looks from strangers, worrying about fitting into chairs, bumping into things, sweating and shortness of breath, being extremly limited in clothing choice, the list is endless!

The list of things I'm looking forward to is just as long I think, I have always wanted to skydive, even something as simple as going shopping with my mum and sister and being able to try things in "normal" clothing shops, going out dancing with my friends in a gorgeous dress and not feeling self conscience and judged. The number one thing I am looking forward to the most is being able to live a long and healthy life.

      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.
