That's great! I noticed a similar thing about holding the steering wheel steady with the top of my thigh. It's so awesome, isn't it?

I have the same NSV! I actually took a picture of it and sent it to my 2 best friends because I was so happy about it!

I remember when I looked down to see about 4 inches between me and the steering wheel that was rubbing on my stomach. I also looked down and saw my fly (you know, the top of my pants). I think the biggest one was when I slid into a booth with room to spare.

Booths used to scare me.

It is amazing the little things that tickle us pink now...

Shoes are too big!

Ring is sliding off!

Don't have to use a seat belt extender!

Can sit at more booths!

This is my MOST WANTED NSV. I cannot wait to be able to go and sit in a booth. It's a huge fear of mine, going out wondering if they're gonna have booths or tables. :(

I had to stop wearing my weddings rings. They were sliding off. Losing weight is fun! But losing my wedding rings would be devastating.

Yeah watch for that, I was At work and pulled on something an my ring flew off my finger it took an hour and 3 of us to find it. I went to Walmart and got a ring snuggie till I finish losing.

What is a ring snuggie? I know what a ring guard is, is this different? I'll have to check that out.

I guess it's the same thing. It is a little rubber thing that goes on the back of your ring. It came in a little package with 6 different sizes.

      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.
