Ali's NSV list...



Recommended Posts

I finally have some NSV's I thought I'd share with you guys:-

1. After a year I can finally wear my wedding and engagement rings again. My fingers swelled up last summer and so I took them off. I thought all would be well again after the summer, but it wasn't just swelling...it was fat and I couldn't get them on again! Now they twist around and it's just nice to see them there again.

2. I actually stood to do my laundry today. I have a top loader washing machine and when I want to put clothes on the airer I always had to sit down because my back ached so much. Twice today I did laundry and only when I finished the second lot did I realise there wasn't a chair in sight.

3. My sugar levels are in normal levels for the whole day. For someone who couldn't get her levels down no matter what she did this thing in itself is worth having the band for.

4. I threw away the extension belt hubby bought me for the car when I realised I could open the glove compartment without undoing my belt.

5. There is no-more belt to fasten on my tie-belt pants and they are still loose.

6. I can leave food on my plate without obsessing about it for hours later.

Things are changing regularly now and I am really beginning to feel good about myself and about what I am doing to help myself and that hasn't happened for the longest time. There are some things I'm looking forward to, like actually needing clothes in a smaller size because even with elastication they are falling off but I now believe it can happen and that too is a definite victory. :biggrin1:

      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.
