I seriously thought I was the only one with the sweating issue. I am looking forward to being able to do my make up at home and not worry about sweating it off from the walk from my house to the car, which is only 20 feet.

Not avoiding looking at the reflection of my body.

Not sweating. I cannot say that enough.

Buying clothes from a section that is not plus size.

Being able to borrow my BFF's clothes.

I want to shop at American Eagle. And Pac Sun. And athleta. And Lululemon.

Being able to comfortably paint my toenails. Not shopping in the plus sizes. Comfortably sitting in the seat at the movies. Going on a roller coaster without fear of not fitting. Actually feeling beautiful when my boyfriend tells me I am. ♡

I'm looking forward to being more active with my kids: buying regular sized clothes: wearing a bathing suit and not shorts and a tee shirt: not being out of breath: shedding 2 chins keeping 1: smaller shoes size: Being healthy overall...

I am looking forward to just feeling better and not being in anymore pain when I walk. I am also looking forward to being able to spend time with my children and being able to keep up with there activities without being tired all the time.

Squat down and get back up without using hands.

I have another. This may seem strange but I look forward to smaller clothes not taking up so much space when packing. I feel like my clothes now are so big that they take up a lot of space in my overnight bag (or I just pack a lot lol).

I look forward to feeling pretty again. I have been thin all of my life. My emotional eating over the past 4 years has really packed on the lbs. I hope to get into my bikinis once again and to feel better health wise.

I'm looking forward to not having my size consume my every thought! In the past few years I've put on a lot of weight and at this point I feel like no matter what I'm doing or where I am, my mind tortures me with self doubt and worry about what everyone else is thinking about me. It's exhausting. Looking forward to putting that behind me and replacing those feelings with pride, ethusiasm and happiness!

And yeah...I'm also looking forward to dancing and being part of the action instead of watching the action!!

Well, this is more a "what I looked forward to that actually happened". I had looked forward to going to the beach in a non skirted swimsuit and feeling good and totally unselfconscious. That happened today! Yay me! Thanks to all of you and this forum for giving me a place to say this!

Going to hockey games next season and concerts at the Bridgestone arena where the seats are kind of small and when I get up to cheer or so the wave my thighs get scraped. #tngirl

      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.
