My first NSV- 2 months after surgery



Recommended Posts

I have been banded a little over 2 months and have lost 22 pounds to date. Although I am thrilled at the number, I have been discouraged at the fact that the scale has only moved 3-4 pounds in the past 4 weeks. I stumbled upon a picture at my friends babyshower, which was taken 2 weeks before my surgery and HOLY COW, I have my first NSV!!!:smile2:2rfarex.jpg[/img]

My surgery was on a Monday and I went back to work the following week. I don't have to do alot of walking at work so I felt ready to return.

Thanks for the positive comments!

Good Job.

I feel silly asking, but what does NSV mean?

Lemon it means non scale victory, things you notice about yourself during weight loss

Thanks, gwenny. I guess then, I can say that I have had a couple NSV's by fitting into some clothes I hadn't worn in awhile. :smile2:

IMO I think taking pictures every 2 weeks is really important! It's great to compare them all and see the differences.

You look awesome!!

I lost 12 pounds the first week after surgery, my husband keeps telling me how much weight I lost. I feel like 12 pounds isn't much but it really is!

You look great girl! Keep it up!

      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.
