I can wrap a towel around myself and there's NO gap!

I can finally wear my wedding rings again. I took them off when I was pregnant 5 years ago and they haven't even been close to fitting again until recently.

I got to shop in Target's regular clothing section yesterday!

Someone commented on one of my YouTube videos that they could see my collarbones. I was probably way more excited than I should have been about that, but it made my day!

Hmmm there have been so many of them over the past 2 years! To pick a few highlights......

1. Being able to go to the amusement park and ride all of the roller coasters with my kids. I had an unfortunate event where I couldn't fit into a ride pre-op which was the turning point for me deciding to have surgery, so that was a big one for me.

2. Becoming a runner

3. Having enough confidence to have boudoir photos taken as a thank you for my husband for all of his support

4. Buying and wearing bikinis this past summer

5. Being told on many occasions that I look like my teen daughters' sister not mother

6. Having plenty of room in the middle airplane seat

7. Having to do my laundry separately because I get my clothes confused with my daughters'

8. Being called "thin" or "skinny" on a regular basis

9. I never get over having collar bones and hip bones. It's the little things.... lol

10. Having more energy to be more active with my fam

Often I'll sit in the bath until all the Water is drained out. I used to get up and a bunch of water would come rushing out from behind me because my body had been so big that I blocked it from draining. The first time that I got up and there was no more water I almost cried.

I have always wanted a massage, but was too ashamed of my body to get one. Today I treated myself to a birthday massage and it was amazing. I wasn't the LEAST bit insecure!!

      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.
