To feel average sized! (all psychological but what the heck)

I love this thread! What a great idea. I loved reading all of your great ideas. I would have to say my three picks would be:

1) Ride a horse (once again)

2) Wear boots that go past my calf

3) Very sexy bathing suit

I know I can ride a horse now but with more weight gone in the future, I can get up and enjoy it more (plus I haven't done it in years because of my weight and I felt sorry for the horse having to carry so much weight).

I grew up in Michigan and could only get boots that would fit up to my ankles (and not much farther because of my large calfs).

I found the ULTIMATE raspberry colored bathing suit at the Tommy Bahama store. I wear a size 16 now and they have a size 16. Why should I wait until I am less than a size 16. I could get it now but have to wait until its warmer here because if I buy it in a size 16, it may be too big by summer.

I recently went to a beautiful hotel and I could never wear the hotel robes in the past because I was too big. I would have a gap between but I did this time! I could actually wrap it around me and tie it!

I also went on airplane in January and did not have to ask for an extender strap for my seat belt.

2 (Teenage Goal) - Not have to buy 2 plane tickets when flying :eek:

3. (Adult Goal) - Play outside with my nieces and not worry about getting tired. I'll be the best Auntie Ever!:wub:

I have already lost the weight but wanted to share my 3 favorite things now that I have:

1. Wear cute clothes. (gets expensive because no matter how ugly it is, it looks cute because its so small!)

2. Be more active. I love doing things outdoors now including coaching my daughters softball team.

3. Climb on a step stool or ladder and not worry that the sticker says its only meant for 200 to 250 pounds. WOO HOO!!!! Hey its the little things :wub:

I am almost at my goals!

1. Cross my legs like a lady and have them fit under a table.

2. Not cringe when I see a picture of myself.

3. Not have to rely on buying purses to be stylish. Since purses "fit" no matter what size you are, that's what I enjoyed purchasing. Now that clothes are starting to look better on me, purses are still important, just not as important! Coach purses are my weakness!

3. Take my two young boys out and introduce them to the joys of outdoor life , the life I enjoyed as a child , Hill Walking , Camping etc etc .. thing I throughly enjoyed in my youth , but due to health never experienced with my older daughter , boys are still young and they would so much like it ( I think :) )

      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.
