Hi, besides the obvious things like being able to buckle myb seat belt on the airplane, I want to go back to Sturgis SD for bike week and wear all my leather shorts and cute tops and vests. I want to strut my stuff. I want to be one of those cute girls that had it together walking around without a thought of "oh, I hope no one is looking at me." I want to whore it up a little. Oh and of course if my ex-fiance was there it would be even better.:redface:

Hi Luv2Teech7

you are correct 30km is about 18miles.

I started taking a running class a few weeks ago. Earlier today I ran 4k so I have long way to go.

It seems so cool that I have a completely different life. That I could even consider being ready for such a challenge! I love my band !!

Michee,

Oh, my!! I can't believe that you ran even 4K! I'm working on walking farther and farther every day, but I don't know that I'd even drive 30K in a day! That's impressive! When you were banded, did you ever think it possible?!

I want to do a tandem skydive, hopefully in Nov. Maybe I'll be light enough by then.

I'm like you Carrie. I to would like to change in front of my husband or even shower w/o feeling embarrassed. Being able to buy clothes in any shop. I also hope to find the courage to tastefully tell a few people what I think of them since though the years as have sat like a shy mouse and let them walk over me.

7_5_142.gif`here is another one. it is a biggie for me...

go on a job interview and not feel like teh interviewer is thinking OMG. you have got to be kidding me. I already have age against me, and I have actually been told I am to fat. it didn't matter I had experience and could do the job.

I have to get another job soon and I dread going out. I know the looks. I know I will probably go 15/20 interviews before I get hired. Not unless I go back to what I know, and have been offered by other companies a position. but I don't want to do what i have done most of my life. I left my last job because they knew I had my LB date comming up, and they would'nt get me the help I needed. I was NOT going to cancel my surgury for them. The type of job in the feild I was in is a low paying thankless job. a lot of times 24hrs 7 days a week. in case your wondering a manager for a quick stop. I have done that about 1/2 my life the other 1/2 is cook. I wan't something different. sorry off the subject. and long

I have a lot too but here are a few of mine...

*Of course I want to wear a bikini and look good in it!

*Go shopping and not have to sit down

*Shop for real clothes not sweats

*Change infront of my SO and not be ashamed

*Believe that my SO loves me just the way I am

*Feel good about myself

*Play with my son for hours not minutes

      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.
