I want to be able to wear a sexy pair of low rider jeans! And I also want to wear that 2 piece everyone is talking about!

I also am looking forward to holiday get togethers where I am not the fattest person there.

I want to be able to join the YMCA and take all those aerobics classes that only the skinny girls do.

I want to have pictures taken of me and not run from the camera like I do now.

I want to be able to go to theme parks and ride EVERYTHING.

I want hot construction workers to check me out!!

I really believe that I think about this every day, all day. I thought about it long before I ever knew about banding.

The most important thing to me, is setting a good example for my 4 year old daughter. On the lighter side, even though I adore my husband, I think it would be fun to run into my ex-boyfriend, looking thinner than when we were together. I haven't seen him in years, so he's never seen me this big, but it would be so fun to look hot!!

Also, I'd like to just like me again. I love myself on the inside, but cry and cry when I see what the outside looks like. I turn down fun invitations, like Bunko, cuz I'm so embarrassed of how I look.

So, those are just a few things I'd love to accomplish. :)

More than buying any dress or doing anything that has to do with fashion, I have been happy to reclaim that part of my mind that was occupied with food and feeding. The rest is only gravy.

I want to feel comfortable in my own skin!! I have already hit some smaller goals like fitting in the airplane seat and being able to buy something out of the "normal" womens department but I think my main goal is to feel comfortable and proud of myself for who I am on the outside not only inside. getting the number of a seriously hot guy that I would think is out of my league would be nice too :-)

May I just add....after getting the number of a hot guy, having your friends envy what you've just done, DON'T CALL HIM? That's right...give him the taste of his own medicine, so that when you run into him again in a few weeks (oh, and another 10 pounds down...) he'll ask what ever happened?! Once again, get his number without ANY intentions of calling. Call that big Teddy Bear guy who always treated you with respect instead---the one who never cared about your size. :tongue2:

I'd like to be able to mow the yard (did it yesterday took me 2 hours and i about died) without getting dizzy, horribly sweaty, passing out, physically sick, not being able to move or stand, not being able to breathe.

Omg may I say yesterday was torture and I plan on never doing that again any time soon.

      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.
