Never again....

....will I be the "fat chick"

....will I be embarrassed because I can't fit on an amusement park ride

....will I be the fattest of all my friends

....will I not be able to shop at the GAP, AE, Holister, ec

....will I constantly be looking around when I enter a room to see who is making comments about my weight

....will I feel not good enough for a man because of my weight

....will I brake a chair because I am too fat

....will I wear big baggy clothes to cover up myself

....will I be ashamed to wear a bathing suit in public

....will I let my weight hold me back from doing the things I want to do

....will I get too tired chasing my little cousins around

....will I cry myself to sleep because I feel unworthy

....will I be a fat unhealthy person!

My surgery is this Friday, Aug. 7... I am starting to get nervous but wanted to write out what I WILL NEVER AGAIN be! This is my motivation to make this change in my life! I challenge you to write down what you never again will do/think... or what you have already excluded because of your weight loss!! Good luck to all!!!!!

I cant wait for my surgery

I cant wait to go into a waiting room and not worry if i fit into the seats

I cant wait to travel more and not have to use half my sons chair and a seatbelt extender

I cant wait to shop any place cuz right now all i can do is shop out of a catalog

I cant wait to get off all my meds.(and I have alot)

I cant wait to have more energy

cant wait to love myself again

I cant wait to be normal and not the fattest person around

I cant wait to feel feminine and pretty

I cant wait to not think Im gonna die before my kids grow up.

And although my husband is the sweetest man and loves me no matter what I cant wait to be thinner for him

Well, I just got home from the hospital. My surgery was yesterday and I must admitt it wasn't as bad as I had expected! I was very sore yesterday and last night but today it's a lot better, granted I am still sore but nothing like yesterday. The pain wasn't anything like I had imagined it to be, I thought I was going to be in so much pain I'd be crying or something lol. Good luck to everyone and I hope you have as good as an experience as I do. Now comes the hard part for me, NOT EATING regular food. Man, I am so hungry, it's been about 48 hours since I have ate. I just ate some Jello but that didn't do anything lol. I just have to keep thinking, NEVER AGAIN... I can do this, we all can do this!! Good luck everyone.. XOXO

      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.
