Still In Shock...(Nsv)



Recommended Posts

I went out shopping today to find a cute dress to wear for Easter. As I hunted through the racks I saw one I liked but was disappointed that it was only a size 10. Still I figured, I'll try it anyway...the worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't fit. I slipped it on, zipped it up, and almost started crying with joy! I literally have not worn a size 10 dress in well over ten years. Single digits, here I come!

That is great news. You should be so proud of yourself. I am down 85 lbs in 13 months. I have been losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for the last 3 months. Cant wait till I break this cycle.

Judych - funny, i am an Aussie as well and was thinking the exact same thing. I wear 18's here but have size 14 Levi's & other 16's i bought in Hawaii.

Jenn - well done.

I just had a NSV as well - i rode a bike for the first time in about 30 years. I am very excited because that was one of my major goals - to get back on a push bike.

JanB23... i have been wearing size 18 as well. i dont have any trousers here that would be any other size. Im so pleased that you are losing weight. I need to ask everyone. Who has a swollen tummy in the afternoon with more gas?? anyone? my trousers are o.k... elastic waist of a morning but after lunch it swells up, gets some pain and i have lots of gas. i feel like getting into my nightie in the afternoons. Anyone else here have the same problems?

      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.
