I can't wait to enjoy taking the dog out! I love my furry baby but right now I am exhausted all the time and don't find joy in our walks. Also being able to pick up a bathing suit wherever and having it fit and not look like I'm stuffing 8lbs of dough in a 5lb container! I want to be active and energetic, going on adventures and slaying my imaginary dragons (or inviting them to tea, whichever).

I can't wait to fly again.

I can't wait to shop at Old Navy again.

I'd like to add another. Go into a Halloween store and get any costume I see and not go to the back of the store with the plus size velvet dresses to be a witch or a medieval princess or sown thing stupid.

For me, it's the memory of being skinny. Back in 1997 I was at my goal weight and I loved it. So to remind myself of what I'm fighting for I'm constantly remembering what life was like being skinny back then.

I can't wait to be able to wear cute shoes again... so tired of clod hoppers & tennis shoes!! Oh, I also can't wait for the day where I don't "hesitate" when I have to sit down somewhere just because I'm nervous about the chair collapsing or just not being wide enough.

I can't wait to wear a swim suit without being embarrassed and I can't wait to wear the tall zip up boots! I have fat calves so that is a big one on my list

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
