I have been reading a lot of the stories here, I am just getting started in this process and I have a question. What is a NSV?

Thanks!

Hey FindingMe - thanks!! I kept a lot of old clothes from way back 20 years ago. Levi's are my absolute favorite jeans - no doubt about it. I have some super cute Levi's that I outgrew those 20 years ago and I always wanted to get back into them. Some are size 13's and some are 14's. I'm just now starting to fit into them, and those are such an achievement... I seriously started to think I'd never be able to again. Now these are back in the day before random and vanity sizing - so it's quite the accomplishment!!!

Hi Knee, welcome to the BEST support website you will find for the VSG! :) An NSV = Non scale Victory - for all the wonderful things that accompany weight loss, that is not defined by the scale.< /span>

HTH

You know what chica, I'm stopping at 4's myself. Those 4's I bought are really freakin tiny, and something else I noticed... Kohl's doesn't have anything smaller than a 4. :huh: NO WAY!! I don't care if I'm 180 and fitting those 4's that's going to be it for me. Plus, I just bought a small cardigan today from Nordstroms Rack and it fits. Crazy - I know this I'm very close to being done for real. Besides once I get the skin removed, that will probably take off about 10 Lbs right there... LOL :)

Kohl's is my favorite!! PS I'm already borderline looking like a crack head... lmao!

Lol yea I'm thinking a size 6 for me. Even though I think I was a size 6 at birth laugh.gif. Its crazy because my hip bones already stick out and the hubby can grab them. Once I can fit into more size 8's I'll be happier but just wish clothing makers would have a set way of sizing. You get so excited putting on a size 8 and then you cant even fit some size 12's WTHunsure.gif

You and Leslie are going to run out of misses sizes end up shopping in Jrs. department FOR SURE LOL!

Sorry to say that now I'm buying 6's in capris THERE IS NO GOOD SELECTION there, and 4's forget about it. I went to Ross today and there were like 5 size 6's to choose from, and at Marshalls there were a few more but not great. It's pretty sad.

      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.
