One of the biggest things I'm looking forward to on my journey. I started my first DIY project and sanded an old desk to eventually paint it black. I can't get through painting it because between bending trying to get the corners and just going up and down a lot I get tired! It really shows me how my weight effects everyday tasks. Besides that I just overall feel so slothy at this weight. Just so heavy that I feel slow if that makes any sense lol. Can't WAIT to to get some of this weight off so that exercising isn't so hard.

I am totally with you it drives me insane the times I feel the most obese is when I'm shopping for fabric in Manhattan I am a seam stress and a lot of times I have to make the trip to Manhattan with clients so we can pick out fabric and I struggle to keep up I can't wait to not have to feel like my bones are crushed at the end of my shopping trip

I actually enjoy cleaning the house now. Until I lost the weight, more than a few minutes doing anything hurt my back or got me winded. Now I love the energy I have to clean.

I'm sure the fun will wear off, so no asking me to clean your houses. ;)

I gave up all caffeine so my energy levels have gone right out the window! Some days are worse than others! I can't wait until I can lose this excess baggage and start feeling energetic 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.
