- Wear heels again , not just to weddings. ✅

-normal BMI✅

- Take s cruise to the Bahamas and manage to not "fear" the buffet✅

As shallow as this sounds, one of my biggest reasons for having WLS beside my health was I wanted to be able to comfortably lay out in a beach chair. I wanted to be able to easily get up and down and even roll from my stomach to my back. My favorite thing to do is lay out on the beach or beside my pool. For the last three summers I have been too heavy to do this.

Now ten months post op and 119 pounds later I had the best day at the beach this week. My chair was comfortable again!!

My next goal is to hike part of the Appalachian trail this summer, who knew the new me would love adventure.

I want to hike again, ski again, not feel hypocritical as the executive director of a health related non profit, camp, garden, roller skate, fit in an airplane seat, wear a sleeveless shirt, and just feel energetic and healthy. On my way.

want to take my daughter to six flags and actually ride the rides with her... and I cant wait to play sports again! Really miss that a lot.

So much things I want to do... most of all be around for a very long time for my babies.

      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.
