i was scanning and faxing alot of contracts a big ago and came across a NSV that never occurred to me..and i was thinking i have got to post this and

hope someone reads it and goes, hey, thats right, so can i and just maybe....encourage (esp a larger bmi person like myself)...even if for a moment..

I have posted NSV on tying shoes, no more seat belt decapitation, putting my own socks on, fitting into regular bathroom stall...and the list is endless....

i have no shame, i just post reality as i experience it...

last year i couldnt stand for more than 5 min at a time (100% TRUTH) and here i was standing and faxing for a good 25 minutes.....i recall with great clarity having to fax one or two items and coming back to sit down as my legs, just couldnt handle the girth/weight

granted its not much ado bout anything

but to me, it was MAJOR

Love the graphic CG! Right there with ya, I hated having to get up to even go to the ladies room, now I try to get up every half an hour or so and walk down the hall just because!

This week I even started taking the stairs. I can do the 4 flights no problem...it's that 5th flight the last one that has me panting for a good 10 minutes when I get up here, but I'm determined, and your my motivation!!!!

i am so proud of YOU.

every step is a step forward..last year when i started this, to get to the bathroom here at work was 54 steps one way. with me being as large as i was, it was so hard. and i had to pause half way.....but after surgery, i went every hour and you know after a while, those 54 steps became easier and easier....that little jaunt down the hall actually helped me.......so you are 100% right GF, just keep on doing it and looksee what happens....you and stairs.

this is for you honey from me

      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.
