OH EM GEE!!! Something I just realized. I've not heard the dreaded,

"You've got SUCH a pretty face!!!"

in so so so long.

Now those asswipes say instead, "Not that you weren't pretty before but..."

Oh, yeah, "You've got such a pretty face!" I used to get, "You've got nice eyes!", which always told me that there was obviously nothing else to compliment on. Fine!

I've noticed that it doesn't require as much effort to get up off the couch or from a chair. Last night I almost face planted getting up from the couch. I pushed myself up with the usual amount of force and had just too much momentum for my lesser body mass. Instead of ending up standing I just kept going and fell right over onto the ottoman. LMAO My husband laughed so hard I thought he was going to start crying.

Lol sometimes I'll stand up with the force I used to and you kinda pop up and I get light headed from standing up too fast!

Yasman, the 1st time I sat on the couch and pulled my heel up to my rear to give myself a pedicure was a complete shock ! It had been sooooo long since I had been able to do that ! Woot Woot !!! No more big tummy in the way or getting my air supply cut off when I tried to bend ! That was a fun NSV !!! Congratulations to you !!!!

Thank you! the good news was a twofer... one i could do my toenails myself and two i didn't have to pay for a pedicure (Which I will occasionally do anyway... just not as frequently).

Being small and agile enough to climb over third row seats in a vehicle with baby car seats everywhere ! Sometimes, you just have to go out the back hatch!!

I love reading these!!! My recent NSV's are: my son being amazed that my legs are "straight"! He actually was checking out my legs the other day and said "Mom, your legs look so great, you used to have bumps, but look how straight they are!" LoL! I also had to buy new dress shoes and tennis shoes because my feet aren't as fat anymore! I've put about 3 pair of slacks and several tops in the Goodwill pile...YAY!!! And I'm wearing clothes that I haven't worn for years! The best one yet though, my girlfriend's husband called me "Slim" the other day! This is soooo fun!!!

      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.
