Nsv That I Still Can't Believe



Recommended Posts

I am 37, six months ago, I was 5'6" and weighed 373 pounds.

My son has ran cross country for the last 2 years. I have been lucky to be able to watch him start, then take the parent shortcut to the finish line in time to see him finish. It has always bothered me that I couldn't help him train in any way.

Today, I am still 5'6", but am now down to 270. This morning, my son and I participated in a 5k. Yes, he had to wait for me at this finish line, but I crossed it at 49:30' still able to sprint the last 40 yards. And I did not puke, pass out, or die.

My 14 year old son, told me that he was proud of me today. I have had many nsv's, but none of them made me feel as good as this one.

Worth it all, everyday and twice on Sunday.

Much love

That is by far the BEST NSV I have ever heard!! (and I have read some really good ones!) That is one that will have you feeling good for days to come! Congratulations on running your first 5K! That alone is huge, but having your teenage son say he is proud of you....PRICELESS!!

That is WONDERFUL!!!! Congratulations!!!

I am doing a 5k October 5th and at my highest weight I was 332lbs. I am 5'10 and am just hit an 80lb loss this morning - 252lbs!! I am 4 months out from my surgery and I think I may hit the 100lb mark at 6 months as well. I am ecstatic and I cannot wait to run across that finish line just like you!!!! I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!! :)

BEST. NSV. EVER. Your post made me tear up. My oldest son does cross country and track too. He is going to start running with me. He took the summer off and today he shared that he's worried that he won't be able to keep up with me!?! Craziness. I ran a 10k today! I was fortunate enough to run a 5k with my youngest son last month. It ranks high in my life's favorite moments. Here's a pic. Loved it! I'm so glad that u shared today.

Wow. U brought tears to my eyes. I have a son, nearly 13. I dream of being able to do just this kind of thing with him. One of my main reasons for the surgery. Thank you for sharing. I hope someday, I will hear those words from him.

      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.
