- Wearing high heels again

- Wearing boots!

- Wearing Jeans!! (I havent worn those in 4 years)

- Not always being out of breath

- Being in a photograph (won't get my pic taken)

- Not noticing yet again that i'm the largest person in the room

- Not making sure that my arms are always covered.

- Not having to catch my breath just walking up the stairs to go to bed

I plan to make my own clothes again - in just the style I prefer. blouses, suits, coats, trousers, skirts, dresses, pretty nightgowns.

I want prettier things, and better quality than I can get off the rack.

Not always being in pain (knee, back, ankle, hip)

Coming off meds

Feeling good physically and mentally

Not worrying if I'll fit in a booth or a seat at a venue (concert/sports)

Not appearing as though I may die after any activity

Wearing clothes that look good

Better sex life

Etc...

Boots

Wearing clothes for my age, not my moms age.

Being in pictures. My husband looks like a single dad in all my scrapbooks because I just hate to be photographed.

Not being the fattest one in the room, always.

Shopping with friends I always head to the shoes and purses.... Being able to just shop like a thin person.

Being able to join my friends when they do active activities

Being able to do the things I want to do and not being over the weight limit to do the activities

Being able to buy the cute trendy clothes and not the grandma clothes I have to wear now (nothing against grandmas but I'm 29)

Being able to try Aerials

Not having to buy 2 seats on an airplane or handicap seats at a concert so I can sit in a chair without arms

Have a better dating life (hopefully! Cuz dating sucks ????????)

Being able to have my picture taken without grimacing at the result

Have my grandma stop making remarks about my weight

Not being embarrassed to go out in public because everyone looks, scared someone will make a remark again

Being able to finally take a trip to Europe because I won't die from waking around

Being able to stop carrying around oxygen to help me breathe

So many more things! I'm just ready for my life to finally START!!!

Walking up a flight of stairs or hill with a "regular" person and not having to work hard to hide the fact that I am completely out of breath and can barely talk.

Tying my shoes

Fitting in chairs/booths better

Running around with my kid

Coming off my CPAP

Mostly simple things. I didn't like shopping when I was skinny so I don't think I will enjoy it that much when I am smaller.

      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.
