Pregnant I might have been able to laugh off, I'm 72. Had a little kid ask me "Are you fat or are you a woman? If his mama wasn't near I might have suggested he go play in traffic, but wouldn't 've able to live with,myself if that happened. Maybe he just didn't have" no upbringin' " as my grandma would say.

Today I'm looking forward to:

Not feeling fat

Buying small clothes

Making people wonder how I did it

Seeing an old boyfriend by chance while looking all slim and gorgeous

Working out without a huge tshirt on to cover all my stuff

Wearing full seat riding breeches that fit and don't look like 10 pounds of sausage in a 9 pound bag

And a Big Amen from Me, I would love some pictures of me showing. a beautiful new covering where my old cracked turtleshell once was, faint- shades instead of vibrant and shining. I always suspected I would be pretty, charming and could rock the "senior set" on their heels. Cutie Pie is emerging out of a vanilla Big Mama. Is it too much to ask that I no longer look like someone's dowdy old Granny?

My double chin and belly to shrink, also my hunchback to disappear and my skin to lighten up. Overall just feeling comfortable and no pains.

Funny, I have always wanted some Glamour Shots myself, although at my "OMG You're Not Dead Yet?" age am I being foolish? You see, I may be feeling I have more right to them. Deep inside I have felt cool, competent and sexy all along, it just had SO FAR and so much to work through to surface out!

Society has poisoned women into thinking we have an expiration date, so I'm delighted to know that you think otherwise. Every line, wrinkle, or oddly-shaped blob is a badge with a worthy history. Think of all the people who never make it past their childhood or young adulthood or who die before their time. (I know you had a son, Kevin, who passed away; children should NEVER go before a parent; I have a son named Kevin, too, by the way... my youngest medical doctor.)

I am looking forward to:

  • My blood pressure being normal. Anxiety makes it rise and I know my weight doesn't help. I'm on medication for anxiety, but the weight doesn't help.
  • Horse-back riding! I've loved horses since I was a little girl and I've always wanted to learn how to ride.
  • Feeling stronger! When I lost 90lbs, I felt so much stronger and almost never out of breath.
  • Feeling cute / better self-esteem.
  • Buying cute clothes, being able to dress how I want to.
  • Having more respect in the workplace

      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.
