I am looking forward to wanting to be in a picture with my kids!

No more excuses for not doing certian activities with my 8 and 11 yr old when I am really too fat or out of shape but won't say it.

to be able to buy cute in style clothing and a dress that I can feel confident to wear... so I won't advoid dress up situations.

to wear a pair of Levis with cowboy boots! and take a line dancing class!

Gosh I could go on and on!

Shopping at Hot Topic instead of Torrid

....Or Any other store where a size 2 cost so much cheaper then a size 20.

Being able to wear a regular size necklace or braclet and not feeling like its gonna choke me or cut off my circulation.

the ability to feel sexy, and wear thongs again.

Being able to go get a bikini wax and fit on those tiny table/beds.

To be able to buy clothes in a regular size not 16 or above!

Being able to walk up a flight of stairs and not be out of breath.

To sit in the same room as hubbys 3 sisters and not feel like a FAT cow!!! They are all skiny size 4-6.

Same with me I could go on and on!

These are all GREAT and I agree completely with all of them!

Here are a few of mine:

~NOT lift up my belly in the shower to clean it and not worry about having to put powder there before I get dressed so I don't get a rash... same goes with under the boobs, back fat and any other "roll" areas! SICK of that!!!

~NOT constantly having to adjust my bra because I have "overflow" somewhere.. either the back above or below or hanging out the front making those awful bumps, etc....

~NOT wearing some old lady bathing suit "dress" in the pool

~NOT having my children come up to me and "jiggle" certain areas of my body and giggle. (they are little and don't realize it's not really appropriate to do)

~having my husband LOOK at me in "that way" again...

      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.
