A Canadian "NSV" Thread



Recommended Posts

I have a few pairs of size 12 jeans in my closet for inspiration. Last night I was going to a BBQ and didn't have anything to wear, so I thought I would try them on...just to see how much more till they will fit...and the ALL fit!!!! I was so excited! I havent worn a size 12 in atleast 15 years! Now I need to go shopping and get some new shirts! lol.

This thread has been quiet for a while now. We need to Celebrate more! Keep it up everyone, we are on the right path.

That is AWESOME bandiva!! What a wonderful and well deserved surprise!! I am happy for you and can't wait till I can do that too -=winks=-

Here is my NSV

This morning I starting jogging!! I was worried that I could not keep up with the girl I went with, she has been running for awhile and offered to get me started. -=huge smile=- I kept up!! It was about a 5k and we walked and jogged it. I felt great when I got home and can't wait to go again. I is nice to have company too.

And you are right this is a great thread and it needs to be kept going, not victories are on the scale!!

... my winter coat ...bought ... 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.

Well Cloe, I'm just at the beginning of my journey ... what size is your coat, maybe I can give it a new home :clap2: if you live in the GTA that is:nervous

Hi everyone,

It's great to see so many successes. I've become a clothes junkie. I love shopping for clothes and shoes. I guess one obsession for another but this one I can live with. Sharing successes and set backs makes us stronger. Thanks for keeping this thread going. Even at goal we need encouragement - this lifestyle is a life long committment.

That's terrific. Happy to see that. Good luck with the food choices. I found being at work much easier than on vacation for sticking to the good foods. Have a great long weekend and see you thinner next week.

      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.
