That moment when someone u haven't seen in 5 months sees u but walks past u bcuz they don't recognize you.

That's what I encountered today at work. That was one of my best NSV's so far. I'm 8 months post op and 35 away from goal. This NSV just motivated me more than ever. To hit my goal by November. My Bandiversary.

Haha! Yes, but my own daughter, who sees me hundreds of times a week, looked down a Walmart aisle and didn't see me! Best wishes and hope that you get to your goal by November!

I've had a few NSV's in the past month or so, but yesterday was my biggest! I was walking into Walmart & caught a reflection of myself in the door & couldn't believe what I saw....my collar bone!!! It's been in hiding for a few years. I never thought something so small could mean so much!

NSV=non scale victory!

I , also, have gotten a kick out of seeing myself in the overhead mirrors and realizing that it is me in the mirror and I don't look 1/2 bad! Karen

I work in a car dealership and so does my 21 year old son. Yesterday a customer came in, her husband had been my son's soccer coach when he was about 10. I asked her if she recognized Adam. She said, "yes, I knew who he was right away, it's YOU I didn't recognize!" :P

Mine isn't as great as the others listed here, but one of my NSV's I am most proud of right now, is the fact that pajamas bottoms that were rather perfect/tight on me a few weeks ago, are now becoming so baggy to the point I'm going to have to toss them out and get some new ones.

My NSV..... Doing a Zumba video without stoping and feeling awesome! I am 2 week post op. I could barely make it to seven minutes of the video a month ago. May not mean much to others but priceless to me.

A couple weeks ago I water-skied for the first time in about 20 years, it felt great! M two youngest kids didn't even know I could. Yes, the little things mean a lot!

These are all amazing stories. Especially the collar bone post. I hadn't thought about it before but yes that is a big difference I also notice.

      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.
