Today I wore a pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear in eight years. I got so few wearings out of them that they still look new.

That'll do for a start (I'm a month postop tomorrow).

My long term goal is to be able to shop in the same stores as my daughter when she gets to be a teen. She's almost two, so it's a very long term goal!

Near term, I want to be able to ride roller coasters, get scuba certified and dive with my husband, and not have to use a seatbelt extender on the airplane.

I would love to take horseback riding lessons without fear of hurting the horse. Most of all I would just like to be able to walk without using my cane.

My goal is to be able to run. I want to be able to do marathons with my boyfriend. That's my number 1. But I have some of the same as you like;

-never having to switch chairs because I can't fit

-being able to to walk a distance without huffing and puffing

-Fitting into my old clothes

- Being able to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see.

When I started my bariatric process last June I was wearing 6xl shirts.

I'm now buying and wearing 2xl shirts.

By the Fall, I'd ove to make good on my threat to my son and raid his closet for a couple cool 1x shirts he owns.

My goals are similar to everyone else's... Be able to fit comfortably at a booth, able to ride roller coasters again, lose the weight I need to in order to have abdominal hernia surgery and removal of excess belly apron. That's my biggest goal, I've had a hanging belly all my adult life & can't wait to get rid of it forever!!

I made a list from A to Z of what my long term goals and wishes are. Airplane seats all the way to zip lining! Some interesting ones that make me laugh, and one or two that made me cry. But basically I want a healthier body to live the rest of my life enjoying instead of hating each lump and roll.

Love reading these posts and the before/after photos, so inspiring!

I have reached a lot of NSV that I never thought about before. Sitting curled up, fitting in the middle seat of the car, comfortably fitting in benches and chairs when out with hubby, crossing legs, sitting with knees to chest, painting toes, wearing "regular" clothes, buying a form fitted dress, wearing heels without feeling like my feet will fall off,

      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.
