What to look forward to



Recommended Posts

I am due to have GS at Beaumont Troy in October. I am trying to make a list to keep me motivated of what to look forward to during and after weight loss such as being able to cross my legs. Any ideas?

Being able to shave the backside of my leg.

Having my husband ask if the article of clothing is mine or my daughters.

Not having to eat before going to a function for the fear of being looked at for eating too much.

Being able to participate in activities instead of just watching

Having a lap

I could go on :)

Crossing your legs

Cheekbones

Shopping anywhere

Not worrying if you will fit (booths, rides, etc)

Not getting winded after climbing a flight of stairs...I could go on and on!

So many......you'll stumble from one to the other and wonder how you never thought of "that" one before....

Reduced pain

Ability to do whatever you want

Smiling all the time

Sit in any booth, chair, stool, bar, etc, etc, etc

Airline flights w/o fear of having room or having to use a damn seat belt extender

Walking into the gym and feeling like you belong there

Ability to go to any restaurant and order from any menu......yet have the knowledge to know how to order a healthy meal

Last but certainly not least.......sex damnit sex. Enjoy thyself like never before.....or at least like a teenager.

Oh there's so many! I'd second all of these! Mostly, as a woman, crossing my legs, fitting in a stadium seat (or any seat) better, not getting so winded so easily, and....sex!

Oh and the boot thing. My husband bought me these awesome Michael Kors boots for Christmas last year. Not wide enough. But I never returned them. I'm hoping I can wear them this Christmas.

      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.
