Thinking about WHY I want to loose weight



Recommended Posts

I came up with a long list. Add your list if you would like.

* To be able to get on a plane and not worry about weather or not I’ll have to get a seatbelt extender

* To not worry if I will fit on a roller coaster (although I’ve always said I didn’t like them to hide the fact I may not fit)

* To be invited to supper with your husbands new friends/new coworkers and not worry about what they will think of his “fat” wife

* To undress in front of my husband and not be embarrassed

* To put on a swimsuit and not look like a whale

* To ride on my husbands motorcycle and feel good about it (not feel like I am too heavy for him to hold up the bike)

* To wear tanktops

* To have cute legs again

* To possibly wear a bikini

* To take sexy pictures to send to my husband while he’s deployed

* To be able to run with my husband

* To play ball with my daughter for more than 5 minutes without getting worn out

* To be able to buy a matching dress for me and my daughter (never seen a plus size dress to match a kids dress)

* To believe my husband when he tells me I’m beautiful

* To be able to be on top without getting worn out when making love to my husband

* To wear sexy bras and panties and look good in them

* To sit on my husbands lap and not worry that I am hurting him

* To have my husband be able to pick me up if he wants

* To be able to wear one of my husbands tshirts to bed and it be too big

* To not be the “fat mom” anymore

* To go on vacation and actually have a good time and not worry about my weight the entire time

* To not have to ask for an extra large wheelchair if I have to be in the hospital again

* To be able to get pregnant easily

* To be the smallest female in MY family

* To go to Disney and not be worn out the first hour I’m there

* To have a good self esteem for once in my life

      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.
