Who's has experienced a New NSV Lately ?



Recommended Posts

I was in the drug store yesterday looking for the right Vitamin. The pharmacist came out to help me. I picked up a bottle to see if it had the ingredients that I wanted and she said, "You don't want those. They're formulated for people over 50." I said, "I am over 50." Her jaw dropped and she said, "You're kidding?!"

I worked in the medical field and I left the job one week before my surgery. i dont keep in touch with any of my co workers. last night at the mall a lady came up to my daughter and said 'are you Paige?" she looked at me and said yes. she said i worked with your mom could you please tell her to call me. my daughter started to laugh and said shes right here... the co worker looked at me and just jaw hit the ground ! all i could do was smile :) this morning I get up to 6 e-mails from old co workes wanting to know what I did....

if that wasnt enough to make me beam thru the mall i went into a store hot topic *punk* store to pick up Christmas presents and they had skinny jeans snake skin print on clearence..so i tried them on in a size 12 they fit with room to give so I put on an 11 !!!!!!!!!!! my daughter cried NOOOOO you cant wear cool clothes !!

These NSV's just keep coming ! ! !

I put on a pair of sweats that I had washed, and put away in the Dresser.

They are a XL in size.

I put them on today, and they were falling off ! ! !

I was going to the Gym, so I said NO ! It can't be.... I need them for today until I come back and do the Laundry.

Then I thought WHAT ! What are you thinking "YES!" star.gifstar.gifstar.gifstar.gifstar.gif That means you now fit in a Large in sweats, My husband looked at me and said wow! you are shrinking ! He saw how they just hung on me, so did the top.

So I said I'll pick some up somewhere, but at this rate, I'm not buying all new, These are about 6 weeks old, and they were a snug fit.

Not Anymore!

So now I'll be trying a LARGE. That's a size I haven't been into since I was in my Teens.

I had a unfill, so I thought I don't want to gain weight.

I guess I was wrong..

You look in the Mirror, and you just see you ! I had no idea at all that I dropped a size in sweats .

This band is Great ! If you have patience, and don't worry about the scale so much. Just work out and watch your cloths sizes shrink... This works ! That's how it works for me....

Last week I bought my first pair of jeans in a size 18, I thought I was buying them for inspiration as I knew I was getting close to fitting them. I brought them home, put them on and they fit!!! YAY!!!

Yes we all are about due. You are doing a good job. I have lost 104 lbs also, I have 40 more to go. But the scale is moving very slow. I think I need a fill. The last time I went in Sept. for my year check up. He told me to wait another 3 months, they didn't want to overfill me then I am running back to have it taken out. I feel some days I am struggling not to overeat. But all in all it is going very good. Keep up the good work and I love NSV's everyday I have a new one.

      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.
