Small Non Scale Victory



Recommended Posts

I had an interview yesterday. As a human resources professional it bothers me when the host doesn't ask the interviewee if they prefer to use the elevator or take the stairs. You never know if someone might have joint issues, heart problems, or anything else. We are after all HR and should keep these things in mind. Okay off my soap box. I was impressed that my host asked if I would prefer the elevator to which I said no. As we turn the corner I see that the stairs are actually one long staircase that was about 3 floors high. I was really excited that I could walk up the stairs, carrying my briefcase, and holding a conversation without gasping for breath.

Oh and I got the job! Hurray. I have to go shopping this weekend because some of my pants are really to big.

I just got home from the mall and had to share my nsv. It's taken a great deal of nerve for me to shop in the petite section of our local department store. I keep waiting to get kicked out for obviously shoping in the wrong section!!! lol Well today I bravely went into the more exclusive boutique section to see if I could find a deal. I was looking through some clothes and the saleslady approached me saying I was in the women's sizes and that the clothes I was looking at wouldn't fit me! I was humiliated UNTIL I realized she was telling me that I was looking at the one rack they had of plus size. She actually took me by the arm to show me where their regular size boutique clothes were!!!!! Made my day!

It's great to hear about the non scale wins, I can't wait for these to start for me. I get banded on the 13th march. The one Most want is the seat belt on a plane but hopefully by July I won't need an extention. Keep sharing your stories.

I just got back from my first trip flying. I have never used a seat belt extender. I would just hide the belt under my arms and they would never ask. It was nice to actually pull the seatbelt closer this time! =)

I'm going to Dallas to visit my son next week. It will be soooo nice to not worry about the seatbelt buckling AND actually being able to USE the pull down tray!!!

      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.
