My list of NSV's!



Recommended Posts

Beyond the 88lbs I have lost =) there are a million other little things that make me happy on a regular basis. I didn't really have an major health conditions due to my weight, but I would imagine that those are the best NSV's for some people; not having to take any more meds, etc. Here is a list of mine...

  • Walking into a store and buying something off the rack without having to struggle to find my size and fit and such. Not to mention not having to spend a fortune on clothes that are in style and don't make me look 70!
  • Not being embarassed at the register when the cashier rings up my pants and then proceeds to hold them out for the whole world to see as they fold them.
  • Being able to cross my legs. I feel so much more lady like. Haha.
  • Being able to shave all the way up my leg without getting major razor burn. I believe that is due to my hormones balancing out and my legs not rubbing as much.
  • Being able to hike and play paintball and other activities without tiring after 10 minutes or being too embarassed to do those activities in front of people.
  • Sitting in the car next to my skinny best frind or sister and not continuously glancing down and noticing how much bigger my legs are.
  • Walking by a glass wall or mirror and being excited about my profile.
  • Getting a Facebook message from my "monster-in-law" stating that I am now smaller than her.
  • Being able to wear a thong without it being uncomfortable and completely lost for most of the day.
  • The old fashioned doctors scale dropping down to the 250 notch, then the 200, etc.
  • Having a lap. My puppy can now sit in it. <3
  • Being able to sit COMFORTABLY in a movie theater chair, restaurant booth, Plebotomy chair and with a seat belt on!
  • My PCOS is chilling out and I've started ovulating regularly! Hopefully a baby soon. =)

I'm sure I could go on, and some of these are ridiculously silly, but they all make a difference to me and make my world so much better. I heart my LapBand and would go through this process again and again and again. No regrets.

      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.
