First NSV's for me



Recommended Posts

I'm finally beginning to get nsv's. Whoo hoo!

1. I haven't taken my diabetes medication since the night before my surgery. :) My numbers have been wonderful, except when I stupidly try some of the foods that I know will shoot them up. :) I don't do that very often.

2. I wore a pair of my FITTED size 24P slacks today. :bananapartyhat: No elastic, no spandex, no stretch. Honest to goodness khaki slacks. And I could breathe all day long. :high5:

;)

My dermatologists' nurse had lapband surgery over a year ago and we talked about mine before I went in. When I went in today, she told me she was so inspired by what I was doing that she was getting back on the wagon and had already been to her doctor for a fill. Cool! :eek: I don't know that I've ever inspired anyone before.

Audra,

It's wonderful that you are able to be healthier so quick - that you can stop some previously needed meds! I take Rx for blood pressure, arthritis, reflux, Fluid retention and am hoping that post band I can reduce or stop some of these meds. It is so inspiring to hear everyone tell about how much better they feel. That is one of my main goals - to be healthier - not just focused how tiny I can be.

I have my first appointment with Dr. Smith on May 31. I am soooo excited to get this show on the road. I attended one of his seminars and was very impressed with his professional (but down to earth), caring manner.

Keep us posted on your NSV!!!

      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.
