Not being the biggest person in the room - check

Wearing size L shirts and 34 pants – almost there

Comfortably riding rides at the fair – check

Not being winded from crushing my belly while tying my shoes – check

Not being Obese – check

Not being Overweight – not quite

Not ordering two meals at fast food – check

Looking better in pictures – check (sort of) I’m thinner but still don’t look like Brad Pitt

Fitting comfortably on rides at amusement parks.

Wearing knee high boots and being able to zip them up.

Having the hot guy check me out instead of my friend.

Being more confident of myself.

Feeling better about myself and being able to wear nice clothes (i.e. a dress that doesn't look like a flour sack!) :thumbdown:

banded not even 2 weeks and I am looking forward to:

- shopping for REGULAR clothes

- being the HOT friend

- keeping up with my kids!

- wrapping up in my towel after a shower and having it go around with lots of extra towel left over

- not having to be the "life of the party" anymore

      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.
