Be able to have the strength in my legs to snap shut the leg thingy on my recliner. I no longer struggle to get out of my recliner but I just don't have the strength to shut it. What are some of your unusual goals/victories?

I'd like to learn how to rollerblade. I'd like to fly without a seatbelt extender. I want to go to Cedar point and fit on all the rides. I want to race a go-cart.

I agree with you and really don't like ones that are screwed to the floor. Yikes!

I want my thighs to not touch

I want a pair of boots to go over my calves without having to buy wide calves that are too big in the ankle.

I want to wear sleeveless shirts without feeling sick by my flabby arms

I want to sit on antique furniture without the panic of its going to crush

I want to wear a 1950s style dress (polka dots)

I want to wear a single digit size one time in my adult life.

I want to weigh what an average women weighs (not the average man)

I want to be able to quit fretting about weight limits on everything. Kind of tired of going to people's houses and doing the discreet furniture wiggle to see if there's a chance I'm going to get dumped on my behind!

I want to be able to see my passing reflection and not cringe. I want to be able to go into any store to shop for clothes, not over-priced, plus sized stores. I want to feel comfortable in my own skin...12/29, my life will change forever!

      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.
