I am bursting inside and I just have to tell someone, so why not the whole VST?? Today, I was sitting behind my desk and a pathologist from my work comes in. She was asking about a bullet that she removed from a person. She and my boss were looking down at it and I rose from behind my desk to come over and see it too and she looked up at me and in mid sentence exclaimed "OH MY GOD!!!!!!" really loudly and I said oh sh*t! what??? Is there something on me? She said, I am so sorry, but I just havent seen you in a while and I was completely taken aback.

I was so surprised! I didnt realize I looked that different. After we talked about the evidence, she asked me how much I had lost and told me that if I stayed right where I am now, I would be perfect for the rest of my life. I said I have about 30 more I want to lose and she said well as far as I am concerned, you look like you are at a perfect weight. Congratulations. She is a brilliant doctor whom I respect so much and it just made my day to surprise her like that and make her scream out in the middle of a sentence! Horray for me!!!! Wow what an NSV! Wooohoooooo!

I am so happy for you. I'm sure you feel great. I'm down 53 pounds and I truly would be happy if I never lost even one more pound.

That's a great one! I love it. :-)

A very senior person in my organisation didn't recognise me in a meeting earlier this week until I said my name, then she did a double-take with wide eyes (she was leading the meeting so she couldn't actually stop and say anything), so I totally knew what she was thinking LOL. It was kind of funny.

It is what Deb said - non scale victory - and those will be more important to you than the scale ever will be. Some will be anticipated, others will come out of the blue. Some will make you laugh, and a few will be profound enough to make you cry.

Here is to everyones NSV's. Past, present and future!

      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.
