Looking good in Regular size clothes. Bicycling. Less pain. Being less self conscious in photos. Not feeling guilty for overeating. Less sensitivity to heat. Less meds.

Soo many great responses on this post and if you notice most if not all of them relate to quality of life which is great.

some of my favs so far are:

Walking down the plane isle

fitting through turnstiles

shopping at non-big and tall stores..

And winning the lottery :)

Me personally I am looking forward to:

  • shopping at non-big and tall stores
  • not having to move the drivers seat so far back to accommodate my beer belly.
  • being able to move my chair up closer to a table, without bumping or shifting the entire table for everyone else..

Being able to shop for clothes any where and not having to ask if they have a plus size section. Not having to worry about fitting in a chair comfortably or a booth in a restaurant.

Being able to bend over and not have my pants roll down because of my stomach. Also, to be able to look in the mirror and not hate what I see.

More active years with my little girl

More active nights in bed with my wife ;)

More times not feeling scared of booths, shopping malls, shoes coming untied

More opportunities to be included with friends and co workers

Packing for a two day trip in only a carry on

Swimming without a tshirt

Breathing while climbing stairs

In short, living on the outside, the way I feel on the inside.

Not having constant hip and back pain! I took the kids trick or treating last night and I'm really sore and stiff today.

I also booked a trip to the Bahamas for the end of May, my surgery is December 1st. I can't wait to not feel squished on the plane and actually wear SHORTS for once!

      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.
