I'm so excited! I had a NSV this morming when I zipped up my boots. I've always had to scrunch down my knee high boots so I could get them zipped up over my rather voluptuous calves but today . . . I zipped from ankle to knee in one smooth, unscrunched action! Yee Haw!

Oh WOW I am totally looking forward to that one. I have always had big calves, so that would be amazing. I've never been able to wear boots, and I am a Texas transplant so I WANT SOME. YAY for you!

I had a NSV like this and it was awesome!

Mine were old-school converse japanese knee highs...laced them very close together!

It feels sooooo good to be able to do things like that!

yay for you, for all of us!

That's one of the NSVs I'm waiting for. For YEARS I've wanted a pair of brown leather, heeled, knee boots. They had some really cute ones (not leather tho) at Avenue 2 years ago. I went in one day and they had my size on clearance for $9, down from like $85. When does that ever happen?!? I bought them and could only zip them about 1/3 over my calf. DAMMIT. I couldn't even pretend to zip them up all the way, not unless I wanted to lose a lot of skin in the process.

Before I got fat I used to love knee boots, wool skirts & cowl neck sweaters in the winter. Can't wait to wear such an outfit again.

Super congrats to you on your awesome NSV!

BKMama, I want pics when you do!!!'

I was so thrilled to be able to wear heels again, of any kind. I don't know where I'd wear knee high boots in Florida, but I seriously want a pair! :)

      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.
