I want to know what Goals everyone has. I don't mean weight goals. Like goals of getting into that pair of jeans or that mini skirt or swim suite. or possibly your CRUSH! Anything that you see yourself doing that you now want and it is so close. Like mine is to be able to use my Wii Fit and then after that telling me i am not obese :bored:

Hello Ralop and welcome to LBT!

Um, let's see... I would just love to be able to run again. I have two knee surgeries to get through and get myself to a reasonable weight that my knees can sustain the shock.

Sounds great to me!

I agree, no longer being obese is a great prize. :thumbup:

A lapband friend recently gave me two pairs of size 16 jeans and one is a Calvin Klein pair and I have them hanging on my bedroom door for motivation. I remember Oprah being so proud fitting into I think size 10 Calvin Kleins and I'll be just as proud to get into a 16 in jeans. I'm at the size 20-22 now and started with some of my pants in 30/32 so I can't wait!

I'm getting married in 3 years (a long time, I know...:thumbup:). I want to be able to walk into Vera Wang and fit in any gown in the store. Also, my brother is getting married in 2 years, and I want to be just as beautiful as the other bridesmaids in the wedding (and again, fit into a really beautiful dress). Can't wait to be a normal size!!

You go LibbyJane! I love it!

I too hate that Wii - OBESE...like I need a computer to remind me!

I have an old pair of jeans that I really want to wear.

I want to go to weddings/functions in something that doesn't resemble a tablecloth.

I want to look good in pictures.

Someday I want to have children.

Those are my goals.

I want to be able to walk down and up the same trail at the Grand Canyon that my husband and I walked down and up the summer we first met and fell in love--we're going to Celebrate our 20th anniversary by going back to the Grand Canyon next summer--I know I'll be 20 years older, but I think that 47 years old is not too old (I know people way older than 47 who run up and down Pikes Peak--mountain near where I live--elev. 14,000 ft!). Also, I want to scuba dive again.

These are really great goals. My biggest goal of all time is not to shop at Casual Male!!!!! that will make me feel really great and plus those clothes are way to expensive, like 28 dollars for a shirt.

So many...where do I start?

*I want to sit on my husband's lap...comfortably :thumbup:

*I want to be able to put on a bathing suit and not care who else is around.

*I want to be able to borrow clothes from people and not be embarrassed because they don't fit

All of these are attainable....just need to keep it up. I am down 50 pounds and in a size 14 now...won't be too long for some of these goals to come to fruition!

      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.
