OK I'll ask!!! What does NSV stand for? :faint: :help:

It took me a long time to figure out what PB meant, I was embarrassed to ask. I'm still trying to figure out some of the lingo here.

non scale victory, wheezy.:)

Thanks Neenagh,

My first NSV was that I came off of one of my hypertensive medications and that was only 20 lbs!!! I'm hoping that I will be able to come off of the other.

My second was that I was able to fit in a pair of jeans that I couldn't before the surgery

I'm no longer on one of my hypertension meds....I don't expect to come off the other one though....even if (I mean when!) I get to goal....I've had hypertension since my early 20s (when I was thin).

So, going off one of 'em I find to be a major NSV.

Also, I bought a size 18 pants the other night and they fit!!! YEEEEHA. I fell in love with another pair of jeans and bought them at size 16....course I can't do 'em up...but I will soon enough...and then they will last me longer!

That's great Yoda, off one of your meds.:clap2: :clap2: That's exactly why we are doing all of this sh....t. To become healthier and if while we are becoming healthier, we happen to fit into smaller pants, well, that's icing on the cake :happybday:

P.S. I know it's not your birthday but there's a cake..lol

The two people who see the most of me both say that I look thinner, especially in the face. (What I want most is to see that damn gut disappear....) I am healing really fast from the surgery and am feeling very positive, a miracle considering that I am a genius at being depressed!

hey green, chin up!! I have shrunk everywhere, but my tummy seems just as huge. As I loose the weight it just keeps getting jigglier and lower. Its horrible!! I keep hoping the next couple pounds will be in the stomach. Not complaining, 'its a good gross'. LOL .

Yah! What is it about the gut, anyway? Mine is as ugly as it ever was. Well, maybe a tiny bit smaller....

So yesterday I brought up all the rubbermaid totes with all the winter stuff in them. I pulled out my winter coat that I bought at Penningtons last February. It was a beautiful coat, it was the kind I always wanted. Full length to the ankles, black, fur collar, comfy and warm. I wore it once last year for about 15 minutes. I put it on and well.......it hung on me like a garbage bag. I could have put someone else in it with me. I was actually sad because I loved this coat, however it is a NSV. It also made me think that just the past February I was in a totally different place, probably a depressed place, but little did I realize what was just around the corner.:bounce: :bounce: My consultation with Dr. Cobourn was in March!!

      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.
