Silly Little Nsv, But Every Bit Helps Right?



Recommended Posts

Had a mammogram today. Ladies, you know those little half-gowns they make you wear for that? In the past I always felt like I was busting out and had to hold the darn thing together with my hands. Today I could actually tie the ties and everything was very well covered! Hooray! Hey, sometimes we have to take the NSV's we can get!

Gotta love it! All NSV's count.

Absolutely it counts!! I am thrilled every time I use a towel and it wraps around me so much. It used to barely meet. So it's weird how some days I feel so huge but sometimes it's the little things that are a reminder, like how much space between me and the steering wheel of my car. Or fitting easily into a booth in a restaurant. These things make me realize that yes, I have lost a lot of weight and tons of inches, no matter how slow the lbs are dropping.

Yes!! this is super exciting. I have always had to use two gowns. One I put on like a coat and the other from the front. I can't wait until I only have to use one gown! This is really exciting. I am very happy for you!!!!

What a great feeling! Congratulations on this one - I HATED not fitting into a "normal" gown and having to do the two-gown wrap. These little things add up to a much happier day to day existence.

Enjoy the little victories

      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.
