Sunta NSV's



Recommended Posts

I thought I'd post my NSV's here since I've been having so many of them lately.

1. Clothes getting so baggy I have to get new ones (four sizes down on top and two sizes down on bottom)

2. I fit into chairs with arms!!!

3. I fit into chairs in the movie theater without spilling into the seat next to me.

4. I can walk all around and not get tired.

5. I can clean my house, do my dishes, bend over to scrub the tub, and vacuum, and wish I had more time to keep working instead of collapsing into a sweaty exahusted heap.

6. The person in my life reaalllly likes my weight loss (wink).

7. My rings are loose.

8. When I lay on my back, my neck fat is not choking me any more!

9. I can cross my legs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. I am now under the weight limit for treadmills, memory foam mattresses, epidurals, and many other things (that I don't use, but still....)

I think that's it for now. And the "SV" is 50 pounds down.

Sunta, that's GREAT! Keep your list going as they pile up, ok?

BTW, what's the weight limit on an epidural? I didn't know there was one!

Becky, those are wonderful NSV's, and you are having so many of them, how exciting! I think the NSV's are just as great as the SV's.

Congrats Sunta! It's so important to keep track of your NSVs because they tell the real story of your journey!

I"m sure it's all very nice to be able to say "I've lost 50 pounds" but your NSV list shows what it really means to have lost that weight.

Congrats and well done!

Hi everyone, thanks for the nice words! It really means alot. One of these days I will figure out how to post a picture or two.

For those who asked about the weight limit on epidurals, it's the same for epidurals, treadmills (that you buy in the store; I don't know about gym treadmills), and memory foam mattresses:

250 lbs.

I remember when I thought I was going to have a baby (before I found out about my husband's infertility) and I was horrified to learn of this weight limit. But now I can happily say I am under that (even if I don't need the epidural!)

Take care everyone!

Congrats on doing so well. I love NSV's. They make transitioning from big to small a lot easier.

How are fills coming? I've had two and would like to avoid another until I have lost at least 10 more pounds. (I hate the transition). Not to mention--I get stuck fairly often--and yet sometimes I can eat anything. Guess stress is my tightener.

Hi Sunta,

Congrats.

Hi have also lost 50 pounds and experienced the same list of NSVs. To those I add:

- Sitting in the car with seatbelt on and "searching" for my belly...

- Walking at the track and realizing that my thights do not "rub together" anymore. Wouah!!!

Ciao... for now.

      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.
