"Bariatric Pal celebrity " :lol:

you "silly" head :D

all of us are celebrities :)

went to my family doctor the other day

we talked about my health, lab results i just had, stuff like that

through out my visit

i kept bringing up my surgery/weight, referring to "old" life

these comments were part of me in the past

"its" like living in one state for years and years

i will always remember where i came from

but i'm so happy where i live now :)

I won't miss the print marks on my waist from tight jeans and every sexy shoe hurting my feet

While I don't wear sexy shoes being a guy and all (though there's nothing wrong with the guys that do...) ... I can relate to the print marks. They get SOO itchy, and I think I got a perms-bruise of some sort on my waist line from that. There's a splotch of darker skin right where my tight pants would always be bunched-up some.

I will not miss:

Taking Medication

Not being able to stand and/or shop longer than 30 minutes because of my back hurting

Asking for an extender on the plane

Hoping to fit in the booths at the restaurant

Fear of having a heart attack or being diagnosed with diabetes

I will not miss the mean treatment from people who judge me and never really get to know me because I am fat.

I will not miss feeling like I need a full body bra because of the jiggle and bouncing while running... @ Lexie I am down to a b cup from a d cup... Don't miss that either ;)

I will not miss the inner legs of my jeans wearing out.

I look forward to finding a bra the right size. You really can't find a 48 b. I look forward to not having to get my husband to ask for a seatbelt extender on planes because I'm too embarrassed. I won't miss aching joints from holding up extra weight. I look forward to being able to share clothes with my friends.

I won't miss seeing that big butt or stomach of mine in the mirror!

No more back aches! No more knee pain! Especially when I want to go on a walk with my husband! I will no longer get winded from just walking, and will be able to walk farther than normal without having to sit down!

Using the stairs again and not getting winded...

Reversing sleep apnea - hypertension - pre diabetes

I'll be able to sit comfortably at concerts, and can ditch the seat belt extender when I go on flights in the future!

I'll be able to do something my husband has asked me to do for several months now! Get rid of the clothes that I can no longer wear! (And it won't be my skinnier clothes that I'll be getting rid of)! Well.... maybe - because they'll be getting too big to wear - which leads to...

SHOPPING! I'll be able to shop in the Women's department, and not Plus Size. I'll have more of a selection of clothing to chose from!

And most of all - liking myself again!

      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.
