So I wanted to start a thread where everyone writes 10 things they want to do after they lose weight. Here are mine:

1. Wear knee-high boots

2. Wear shorts (without having to worry about them riding up)

3. Shop for clothing by what I like and not by what will fit me

4. Sit comfortably in an airplane seat

5. Be picked up by my boyfriend

6. Cross my legs without having to reposition my whole body

7. Never have to worry about "weight limits" again

8. Like the way I look in pictures

9. Feel comfortable in my own skin

10. Have cuter feet

Why do you want to wait until you lose weight to get a tattoo? Worried about your skin shrinking in weird ways, or do you want to get like a commemorative tat? Oh, put Victoria's Secret on my list too! I have never owned any of their cute little overpriced bras!

Here's mine:

TRIPLETMOMMA'S TOP TEN LIST

1. Sit comfortably in a booth at a restaurant

2. Ride a rollercoaster without worrying that I won't fit in the seat!

3. Buy clothes at a store that's NOT Lane Bryant, Avenue, Fashion Bug Plus, Katherines... or even Torrid!

4. Not have to mentally calculate weight limits... and how far over I am!

5. Weigh less than the crabass who lives behind me! Just because I know it's going to piss her off in a BIG way!

6. Not be the largest person in the room

7. Run up 2 flights of stairs in my house, without breathing hard!

Triplets mom I love #5. I can happily say I am now smaller than some of my biggest haters. And it might be slightly immature . But I love the shocked look they get on there face when they see me.

It's a great feeling!

Honestly??

When I told her I was getting the LB, she got MAD. She told me that my husband would hate it if I lost my curves, and that I'd probably end up getting a divorce, blah blah blah.

She and I used to be friendly.... but she has a BAD habit of complaining about me... to everyone else, AND me. We had to work together for the last year on the PTA, and she screamed out one night at a meeting "if ONE more person talks about how much work SAINT Karen has done so far this year, I'm going to go CRAZY!! I've done WAY more work than her!!!" Who does that????

So... am I a witch for wanting to grin like an idiot when I weigh less than her??? (btw.... that would be 220)

YES I AM!! Watch me fly!!

      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.
