Being out of plus size is a big one for me. I am very close now and I can't wait to be able to shop for pants in any department in any store!

3) having a normal size bath towel wrap all the way around me

Even though the normal sized bath towel wraps around me, I still like using my beach towels from my heavier days because now they REALLY wrap around me!

yes, yes, and YES!!!! every single one of these!!!! not to mention

(4) no more raw thighs that rub together when wearing dresses/skirts in the heat that Texas enjoys for 10months out of the year.

(5) not wondering how WIDE my butt looks when I'm doing squats or incline leg curls.

(6) knowing I will be able to keep up with my (future) kiddos. heck, knowing I'll be more fertile to HAVE those future babies :)

Being able to wear tall boots, because my calves aren't too big.

Thanks for posting this! I have been thinking about the future NSVs I am looking forward to as well! (I am also pretty excited to be getting closer to them!)

I also can't wait to be able to wear clothes that are not plus size! I also look forward to:

-buying tall boots in a style that isn't determined by the ones that fit over my calves

-sitting at at attached chair/desk comfortably (and not freaking out when I go to a workshop that has them about whether I am going to fit)

-sitting in a seat at the movies/in an auditorium without "spillover" into the seat next to me

-sitting comfortably in a restaurant booth, even when the table is bolted down

I am already seeing some of these, and I'm sure that there will be more that I haven't even considered a possibility as I get closer to goal!

      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.
