2 Week Diet Started
Ms skinniness replied to ShannonK's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I only had to do a 1 day pre-opt diet but realized that I really didn't need to eat all the food that I was eating and had cut my portion sizes down to half. It wasn't easy, but it helped with losing some of my weight. You will be able to have Arby's if you choose later on, but in smaller portions. You will make different choices too, like taking the bread off. The protein is what I want, the bread doesn't taste that good anymore. I have passed my surgeon's goal, but my goal has not been met. But I do love my skinniness now! LOL Your thoughts are messing with you. Don't pay attention to them and switch your thinking to how much more energy you will have and how much more healthy you are going to be. Also, how much fun it will be to go shopping and have an abundance of clothes that are so darn cute, you will have a hard time choosing the cutest ones! The NSV's are great! -
We'll be eager to hear how it goes. Please send us an update when you feel like it. Best wishes for your surgery and congratulations on your first NSV!

Oh, Neva, Everyone hits that three week stall. Yours may have come early since you have a lower BMI than a lot of us. Just keep looking for those NSVs and the SVs will follow right along! You're doing great!!!

A Couple of years ago I bought this really cute bathing suit off season so it was pretty cheap but it was too tight. But since it was so cheap I had to buy it haha. Anyway, I'm going out of town to a friends house and she has a pool so just for giggles I tried the bathing suit on and it fit perfectly! It was even a little loose! Very exciting

Just noticed my face has a square shape?? Not big and round like a freakin pumpkin!

First Ever Nsv Only 6 Days Out From Surgery!
mylifeinpink posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am so so so happy and blessed to report that my feet do not hurt anymore at all! I had such bad edema and plantar facitis, I was seeing a physical therapist 2 days a week for the pain! Pain is GONE! 21lbs down, and I am feeling very good about my surgery! I have a slight feeling that this is going to be the very best investment I have ever made in myself! -
I am right there with all of you. The first 6 weeks or so was hard. My family loves food and, while they felt somewhat bad about it, their eating habits didn't change so I was constantly surrounded by their fast food, garlic bread, Pasta, steak, all the things I loved that I couldn't eat. Once I got to the solid foods stage I would try to incorporate some of my old favorites and I quickly realized that my taste buds had changed. I don't know if it was the sleeve or the fact that I went so long without it but food that I used to LOVE and overeat daily I no longer found appealing. So, I started giving in to my cravings with the underlined understanding that I probably wouldn't like it, and it worked. I craved a McChicken sandwich from McDonalds. Pre-sleeve I could have easily eaten three of them (PLUS a large fries) so I went and got one, took one bite, and was done. It tasted HORRIBLE. I haven't craved McDonalds since. Same thing with Taco Bell, french fries, and fried fish. I used to eat all of those things ALL the time, and I haven't touched them since. Not because I'm forcing myself not to but because I no longer find them appealing. They tasted bad, I don't want to eat them. Every so often someone will eat something that I want, especially at baseball games. I'm a huge Texas Rangers fan and I go to a lot of games. I smell garlic french fries, nachos, cheese fries, etc. Same thing. If I REALLY want it, I'll try it. I tried cheese fries. Blech. Huge waste of $8. I try foods that I used to love and I haven't hurt my sleeve (I did another barium swallow recently, my sleeve is perfect) and I've lost 100 pounds in 4 months. It may work for you, it may not, but its a constant learning process. You'll find foods you love that you can eat. Egg drop Soup is my new best friend. I loved it pre-sleeve, I love it post-sleeve. It's easy to eat, it's delicious, and it's full of Protein. Don't get discouraged. This is the best thing we could have done for ourselves and as that weight starts to fall off, all of those NSVs will start rolling in and you'll never look back. Good luck!

My surgeons office called today to ask if I would participate in their seminar this Thursday evening! What an honor! I have lost 86 pounds and I am only 3 pounds from a normal weight, 13 pounds from my personal goal and 14 pounds from losing 100 pounds! Woop! When I was at my seminar, they had about 10 people there who told there story and there were only two sleevers there. One of those was my inspiration and he really helped me. I hope to be someone elses inspiration. Its surreal to think that I am going to be one of those inspirational people! I told my husband at my seminar that I wanted to do that when I reached goal and now its here, I get to do one and I am only 9.5 months out from my surgery! Woooop! She also told me that they are performing more sleeves now than any other procedure but have mostly GB patients who come to the seminars for them. I will be the only sleever there representing! I better do us all proud! Now to pick an outfit to wear!

Today had a nsv! I wore a shirt that I bought four years ago that never fit. In fact I wore it as a jacket! I wore it today and could button it up and it wad even loose! That shirt alone was worth the surgery! -

Rings And Underware !
Cindysmom (Ilene) commented on Grandcherokee's blog entry in Grandcherokee's Blog
i went from size 10 ring to size 8. I had to get ring guards until it stayed the right size. My undies were size 10 now size 7. iI think I'm where I am going to stay. These are great Nsv...Non Scale Vistories. Have you all been able to tie your shoeslaces ? And are you able to pick up things that you could not p/u in the past. Horay -

My SIL graduated high school today during which I noticed a NSV. I wore heels for several hours and my feet didn't hurt (AMAZING!! LOL) And we walked a lot...I couldn't believe it!! Prior to surgery I wouldn't have made it 15 minutes without pain!!

I have lost 52 pounds and still have about 80lbs left, but the second picture was taken of me this weekend and I actually thought I looked skinny (ish) and wanted to share. Nice to have these NSVs!

So I'm down about 47 pounds (stalling now but think its because I have my period). I was sleeved 4-24-12 so I'm almost a month So nsv's. Maybe tmi but I have a much easier time cleaning myself in the bathroom... If you know what I mean. My "hump" in the middle of my back is disappearing. I can easily put on shoes. I can walk without getting out I breath Normally after a family get together I woul only be able to help with the clean up for so long until my back was killing me but today I was able to really help! And I was able to drink and eat some normal food (very small portions) so I didn't feel Left out or look strange... No one here today saw anything strange... Which is good because I'm not ready to tell them. My stomach doesn't touch the steering wheel My shorts that were always too tight are now too loose!

Kinda Naughty Nsv Dont Fuss At Me
Anewlifeforme23 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Feels good to walk into McDonald's and spend 2.58 and have moooore than enough to eat or drink. I had a kids cheeseburger and unsweet tea :-) I finished neither -
Not to correct but NSV=non scale victory, such as smaller size clothes, inches lost, etc. Today is day 3 in HI, it's paradise for sure but I'm having he!! Eating right, I have to get over this fear of vomiting or ripping staples & leaks! We bout groceries the first day but my dr wants me to consume calories every 2 hours! I got some small lunch ables with cracker, meat & cheese. 13g Protein. Took all day long yest at 2 pieces at a time but I got it in. We have a small cooler & I just stuck in zip bag & put in the cooler for 2 more hours then repeat the process. No probs on fluids packed plenty Water & Powerade in cooler. Got my 1st weird look at bubba gump when I asked to order 1 shrimp & veggie grilled skewer. She refused so I pd $20 bucks for 2 shrimp & one bite grilled zucchini.

For the first time in over ten years I ordered a dress AND I wore shorts yesterday!! I've had lots of small NSV over the past nine months but this has to be my biggest accomplishment. I have my 25 year class reunion this July (that I never would have attended fat) AND I'm running a 5K in three weeks!! I've gotten under my chosen goal of losing 80 lbs having gone from 206 lbs to 122!! I feel awesome....I have self confidence that I didn't know could exist....the simplest things give me pleasure and I can even enjoy things that doesn't center around food...I'll go shopping and lunch is the furthest thing from my mind!! Everyone enjoy the journey....I am!!
