My very first NSV :)



Recommended Posts

To start off, I went to the Dr. for my second fill on New Year's Eve. I was both thrilled and upset that my Dr. said he wasn't going to give me a fill. He said I was losing weight much faster than others and that there was no need and was happy about my progress. I, of course, going into the appt., didn't think 6lbs in 3 weeks was such an accomplishment, but I guess so! :) At least I'm consistently losing at this point, I am happy for that. But of course, don't we all want it to go away faster? lol

So, on to the NSV. I went to a local thrift store today in search of some lighter clothes for my trip to FL next week. To my surprise, I saw a Burberry peacoat on the rack and decided to give it a try, after thinking, nah, it will never fit. I've never fit into nice peacoats, ever...unless men's, and obviously very bulky and horrendous looking. To my surprise, it fit...even with my bulky sweatshirt on :) and to add to that, a Burberry coat for $6! Woo hoo :) Not to mention, I also purchased a few shirts and pants...which I NEVER find anything to fit me, or I just hated my body so much before that I wasn't excited about buying new clothes. Down from a 22 pant size to a snug 16 now and it feels so good :)

Peacoat??? Uh, congrats I think? Don't know what a peacoat is but as long as you're thrilled!

There are a few on here who have not had a fill at all since surgery and are losing weight continuously. CarolinaGirl is one of them. I envy her for the fact that she has a plan B to fall back on should plan A slow down or falter. She said she's always got the fill to fall back on if all else fails.

As long as you're losing weight and not suffering from not eating enough, I have to agree with your doc. Good job!!

Keep in mind Florida is not always warm in the winter. 47 her two days ago, so bring the peacoat!

Exactly! 47 degrees, that's a heat wave! Lol. We are headed near Miami which has been mid 70's-80's :) considering upstate NY is -20 right now, I am OK with even 47! :) and to the one who asked what a peacoat is...lol, it's a nice, dressy wool coat, usually navy or black. Think of the dress coats that the navy boys wear...needless to say, a coat I could never ever squeeze the "girls" into LOL the girls are now a little deflated, but I'm not complaining! Haha

      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.
