Lots of NSVs to report!

1. This morning I am taking out the trash and my neighbor (who I rarely talk to) comes out of her house saying I look great and saying "You lost a lot of weight!" She actually came out to compliment me-or being a nosey neighbor (which she is) she may have wanted to make sure she wasn't missing something! lol

2. My 25 year old daughter had to go out and her jeans were damp out of the drier so I let her borrow a pair of jeans that I just bought (size 16)!

3. Pretty much every day at work someone comments on my weight loss. I am a teacher and went to a school I use to work at and one of the students even said "Wow, you lost so much weight!"

I am off today and will be visiting my mother who lives about an hour an a half away. She hasn't seen me in 2 months and that is the time that my weight loss has become more noticable-she doesn't know I had the surgery. It will be interesting to see what she says. She noticed I was losing weight in Aug/Sept. but now it is a lot more noticable!

Wow, what a great bunch of NSVs! I look forward to hearing what your mother says when she notices how much weight you've lost. :lol:

That is so awesome! We all want to see that scale move but it really does make you feel good when someone pays you a genuine compliment! Keep up the great work!

Thanks! Even my other neighbor said "You're looking good!" Sometimes it pays to take out the trash and recyclables! lol

As for my mother-well-maybe I expected too much? She did say I looked like I lost more weight. Then later said I must have lost about 20 pounds since the last time she saw me. I guess I was expecting a little more "Wow." We wentto Red Lonster and of course it happened-I got sick and needed to PB/Slime. I wen tto the bathroom 2 times - that held me off until later. She doesn't know about the surgery (I didn't want her to worrry) so I was playing hide the food on my plate. I sort of made it look like I was eatingthe brad and salad, but just mushed it around and separatedi it..

      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.
