I'll be glad when I can........



Recommended Posts

Be able to get on the plane and easily fit into the seat and not be constantly rubbing the person next to me and be able to pull the seat belt over instead of worrying whether or not I will have to ask for an extension.

Leave the big girl stores behind me.

Take my after picture and compare to my before.

Go have all my rings sized down.

Go out to lunch with my sister-in-law who looks amazing and not feel like a frump.

16lbs away from onederland! Yeah!

Many of mine have already been taken, I'll add just a few.

* To have guys actually look at me and not past me.

* To not have to listen to my guy friends make comments on how hot the skinny girls are.

*To be able to enjoy having a picture taken.

*To walk and not have my thighs rub together.

*To believe someone when they tell me I am pretty.

That's it for now... Love this thread too fun!

- have my husband wrap his arms around me and feel like I am the little women instead of the fat mama! LOL

- wear a bathing suit on the boat instead of staying fully dressed...

- have more energy because I am not carring around 100 extra pounds.

- see an old friend I haven't seen in years and know that they aren't thinking geez she really has put some weight on!

- ride my scooter and be able to pick up some speed because it isn't getting bogged down due to my weight

- hike without huffing and puffing

- feel comfortable on the back of my husbands motorcycle.

_ Keep up with my boyfriend and my kids on a day outing

_ Get in the pool or jacuzzi without worrying who's around in our complex

_ Go shopping at regular stores and buy things I like instead of what fits.

_ Put on my red high heel pumps without my back hurting from the extra weight.

- Let my photographer boyfriend take some amazing pics of me

_ Go shopping with my girlfriends, trying on clothes, instead of alone since I'm ashamed of my size.

_ Go dancing at a regular dance club instead of a BBW club where the bigger is better and I am being hounded by chubby chasers who think of me as a "fetish"

1. Walk past small children without fear they'll point to me and say to their mothers "She's fat" or something similar.

2. Not worry when I see the entrance requires going thru a turnstile.

3. look at myself in a group picture where I don't overwhelm everyone else by size.

4. feel that I'm not taking up so much room in any situation.

5. attach the seatbelts in any car.

6. attend a dressier event, not feel that I'm over-dressed.

7. look at my feet and they're not puffy.

8. fit in any chair without it killing my hips because its so tight.

9. go to the doctor, get an xray, or anywhere I have to lay down on a table, without struggling to get up by myself.

10. spring out of bed.

11. easily get up off the floor.

12. Easily get myself up and out of a cushy couch.

13. Enter a class or meeting room without first quickly scanning the room for the widest chair or the one without arms, and if nothing will work, quickly decide how to handle this with a minimum of embarrassment.

That's all for now, getting late.

      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.
