My first NSV's!!!



Recommended Posts

1.) Today my niece said "Aunt Kim, you look soo skinny today!"

2.) In church I looked down and realized, I can see my feet without bending over!!!!!!!!!! (First time ever!)

3.) After church we took my 5 nieces and nephews to the circus, and the whole way there I was nervous because the upper bowl at our arena is always smaller seats than the lower bowl. The seats in the upper bowl and slightly too small for my large bottom. We got there, went to our seats, sat down................... AND THE SEAT WAS BIGGER THAN MY BUTT! I had at least an inch on both sides of my hips when I sat down!!!

The third NSV is a very important one to me because I love going to events at the arena, but only if I can afford the expensive seats on the lower level. Now I can go to any event ANYTIME I WANT TO!!!!!

YAY!!!!

Congrats!!! Great Job! I think I had my first NSV today.

I'm only a week out and my hubby and I took a long walk today and it felt great! I easily walked much farther than I could prior to surgery. I plan to do a 5k with my hubby this Spring :rolleyes:

Mina,

It's so funny that you mention that because we went shopping this weekend for my hubby a new pair of shoes and I told him, I can't wait until I can buy a pair of calf boots :) It will take a while because I have small feet and the smaller the size of your foot, the smaller the calf part is too, but I know I will get there!

      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.
