I broke a doctors table. You know those super sturdy metal based tables they have you sit on during an exam? Broke. I'm looking forward to never having to worry about breaking things I sit on.

My first post...

I am a far way from surgery (I'm in month 2 pre-application), but I am looking forward to fitting. LOL Simply always being able to fit into seats. Be it an airplane, the back seat of a car with a group of people, as mentioned above restaurant booths, office chairs, school style desk/chair combos, the list is endless...

Oh, people turning sideways when passing you in a hall (can't wait for that to stop). LOL.

@violetisle I love vintage as well. I have a ton of sewing patterns from the 40's, unfortunately I have no waist. But hopefully by next year that can be remedied. AND my square dance outfits will look way better.

I want to be able to hike in the mtns easily and fit in booths as well.

Clothing for sure I'm waiting for insurance approval and refuse to buy any new clothes until then, I also have alot of clothes I will fit into once I loose the weight.

I'm looking forward to not feeling like I need to dull down my personality and who I am so I don't draw more attention to my being overweight! It'll also be nice to not dress like it's winter during summer!

      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.
