I'm with you my friend.. I want to buy clothes from International male.. haha. But that amusement park thing.. that really strikes a nerve with me. I was actually laughed at That day.. That was probably the worst day of my life when I had to walk with my daughter back down the line because the bar wouldn't close over my stomach..

sounds like you need to undo that memory and replace it with a good one when you get to goal!!

I'm finally going to take pictures with my husband. I feel embarrassed for him when I'm in the pic with him right now. He has given me everything else I could ever want. So, I will treat myself to being his blonde bombshell!! LOL

One of the most healing things I've ever done for myself was put out pictures of me at all different sizes....those are all parts of me and I don't want to be ashamed of me...thin, fat or somewhere in between, I'm worthy of being remembered and so are you!! I bet your husband isn't embarrassed when you are in the picture...bet he loves you for who you are regardless of the size you happen to be...

I have a long ways to go, but when I get there I am going to go parasailing and horse back riding with my family.

I plan to get my belly button pierced because I always wanted to and get another tattoo in recognition of my weight loss but not sure exactly when I want to get yet.

I also want to get my boobs done because they are in a sad state but I don't think that's a realistic goal since we are not in a place where we can afford plastic surgery. I will need a Tummy Tuck some day too but we'll see.

Two things...

  • A snow skiing trip. I've never been and have put off my wife's requests because I know it would be really hard on my knees at my current weight and I get winded too easily.
  • A new family portrait.

I love this thread ....

When I get to my goal weight I'd love to go to NY. I've always wanted to go there. It's a long way from my home in Australia, and right now I wouldn't be comfortable in a plane seat for that long. While I'm there I'd love to go shopping, clothes in the US are so much cheaper!

I like the idea the poster above had about the Pandora charms for each 25 kg lost ... a great motivation when you have a lot to lose.

My final goal ... just participating in life more!

I live a couple hours from the Adirondack mountains in NY and absolutely love hiking. I plan to treat myself to the view from the top of a lot of the bigger mountains that I was previously too out of shape to climb. I’ve done a lot of smaller mountains and a few of the bigger ones pre surgery, but really struggled with the bigger ones. I’m in the gym almost every day and getting closer to my goal weight so I figure by spring time I should be good to start tackling some of the bigger mountains.

A new stylish wardrobe! I have been helping my straight sized friends find cute & affordable outfits for years, while plus sized clothing was/is so expensive. Can’t wait to shop anywhere!

Great reminder, I can't believe how long I've put this off. The last one I have was before I met my husband--13 years ago!

I'd love to say travel or a fancy new wardrobe, but I know that my budget won't change even though my body will. The things I'm planning on are new family portraits/being in more pictures with my family and friends, and maybe a tattoo.

      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.
