I just had a NSV - a big one for me!



Recommended Posts

This is so silly but maybe some of you remember my signature before my surgery that said "NSV I'm most looking forward to - being able to wrap a towel around me after the shower without 1/2 my fat belly and a boob hanging out."

The reason I wrote that is because it was that sight that convinced me I needed surgical intervention.

Well, just now, I got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around me, and looked in the mirror - no fat hanging out, no boob hanging out, the towel went ALL the way around me like a normal sized person.

I know this sounds silly but it's the only NSV I've had so far that has brought tears to my eyes!

So, at least for today I hopefully won't be too upset about being a slow loser, when at least I reached one goal!

:clap2:

Laura! Dahlink! Excellent NSV! just wonderful!

Okay, you've lost more than I have in your 4 months than I have in my almost year. You are on track to lose more than 70 pounds in a year. Hardly a slow looser.

Good for you, now pose for a picture you sexy thang!

I remember the tiny dish towels they gave us in high school when we were forced to shower in front of 1/2 the school. We were given a choice to either cover one boob or our cooter. I'd like a normal towel to wrap around me one day.

NSV= Non scale victory

Thanks all of you! It might be a slightly oversized towel, but it's still one of my same towels that 1/2 my belly fat and one boob hung out of before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
