I can finally post an NSV list



Recommended Posts

The other day, I had 3 people stop me to tell me they can see my weight loss.:(

I am able finally to walk some distance without my cane :crutch: :clap2:

And my drawers are getting droopy:clap2: :clap2:

I've really been waiting to see a difference in my arthritis pain and getting to the point where I didn't have to depend on my cane, I'm getting old, but I hate looking like an old woman with that thing.

Congrats to you on your NSVs!!! That's just super!

My arthritis is still just as bad in my knees...I usually get cortisone in my knees, but it wears off after about a month. I go back to work on Aug. 28th, so on the 23rd I'm getting shots so I'm ready to go. Maybe it will last a bit longer now that I'm getting a bit lighter. I know I need a new knee, but I have to get through another school year before I can think about whether or not we're scheduling it for next summer or not.

You are doing great!! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

I was looking for an NSV thread last night, too.

My stomach used to buldge over the steering wheel when I drove, and now at just shy of 35 lbs down I can fit my hand in between my stomach and the wheel! That's so cool!! There was a time when DH and I were dating 20 years ago where I could fit inbetween him and the steering wheel when we'd go parking!! Those were the good 'ol days :(

Thanks. I used to get the cortisone as well, and they don't last very long. I tried some of those new injections that are supposed to last for 6 months to a year. They didn't work. 5 injections over a couple of weeks and absolutely no results. So this nsv is the best.

Wow, that is great. It has to feel so good to slip behind that wheel and see that space. Good for you.:clap2:

Robin - congratulations on your NSV's. Sometimes those are better than watching the scales. Simple stuff, too. Like being able to get in/out of a car without multiple pushes!

      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.
