I don't know if you might want this but I do..

I want my husband to pick me up and throw me on the bed and play around because he just can! (like he does with the kids)

I want to wear a bikini and not have to hide my body.

I want to wear really high heels and not worry that my ankles are not going to be able to balance the weight.

I want to wear some of those "skinny" clothes I have been saving around because someday I promised I would wear them again.

I want to be able to go into a clothing store and not feel discriminated against because of my weight by the sales person.

I want know that when people are describing me they concentrate more on my features than saying you know the chubby .....

I wanted to take up less cubic inches.

Go off the High Blood Pressure meds

Lessen the backpain

And be able to breathe going upstairs

I wanted to be 140

But now I am modifying that to 150 as I can already get into a size 8 and another 10 pounds...19 from now I'd be too scrony.

I want to be able to go to an amusement park and not be worried that I may not fit on the ride.

I want to walk down the isle on my wedding day in a non-plus size dress. (Wedding in 2009) & I want my future hubby to be able to carry me across the thresh-hold on my wedding night.

I want to have children and not fear I'm to big to get pregnant, or that my knee will give out while holding my future child and I fall with my child in my arms.

I want to go to the movie theatre and not feel like I'm spilling over my seat, and be able to sit there comfortable with my legs crossed.

I want to feel confident when I walk into a business meeting, or meet potential clients, and not feel ashamed that the person they pictured when they talked to me on the phone, is not the same as the person they are meeting.

I want to be able to shop wherever I want and not worry if I will fit into them or not.

I want to be able to swap clothes with my thinner friends.

I want to be able to go to the airport and not worry if I am too fat to fly. (Hasn't happened yet, but I'm always afraid it will!)

AND I know I wilL!

      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.
