A Canadian "NSV" Thread



Recommended Posts

Wow, congrats you guys!!! I too would like to TRY running... I'm such a weirdo, I'm too embarassed to even attempt it at the gym. A couple times when no one was around, I cranked up the speed and trotted for a few seconds.

How immature am I? I have this feeling that if I had sunglasses, maybe I could do it outside. I guess because my 5 year old mind thinks that people can't see me with them on?! I will work on that though... maybe in the summer. Dan always wanted me to jog with him, and if I was doing it, I could drag him out with me, and get HIM started losing (more) weight.

I have an NSV, which I just remembered today. On New Years Eve, we went to a party at these people from works house. Around... 3-ish, we called a cab, and the 4 of us that live in the same building 'group' left together. Outside there were people smoking, so we (the girls at least) gave them Happy New Year hug, and the last guy PICKED ME UP, and swung me around. (he's a HUGE guy) It was scary, and totally foreign to me.

If you recall, I was excited a little while ago when I let Dan pick me up for the first time. I'm sure this guy would have NEVER attempted it even a few months ago... and if he had, I would have done my good old 'turn into a noodle' move, and slid out before he got to!

Yay for strange men picking you up and swinging you!!

Argon,

I think I know what you mean about being picked up. Over Christmas my great DH picked me up and I was like... wow aren't you going to break your back... but nope.

Sometimes I think I forget that I have lost any weight at all.

I keep telling myself that I will post before and after pics after I hit onederland. I looked at your argon and they are amazing!!!!

Oh yeah, I got asked yesterday at work, by a different lady, if I've lost weight. I kinda embarrassingly said "uhh... maybe." 'Cause there were people around! I hate that! She said she thought so but I was always wearing these huge baggy clothes (which, hey, I am SO almost not doing anymore!) ... and she just wanted to rip them off and see what was underneath! Just as she said that, the same guy who swung me around walked in, and seemed quite interested in this conversation! haha So, yeah, I giggled nervously and got the heck outta there.

And, same day... my friend was walking behind me and said "that shirt is SO 3 sizes too big for you". I realized it was a little ridiculous looking. Damn... I like that one.

Yah, I quite enjoyed my little shopping binge of last week. In fact I haven't got around to hanging any of the stuff up yet. I am enjoying looking at the pile of new clothes too much, I guess.:scared:

Argon, you're such a funny noodle. When are you coming out to Edmonton? We need to go do some shopping for you. I see spandex in your future.

Oh god... who knooooows! I can see myself being in Calgary before Edmonton, for sure. Dan will probably drag me out there to see his family again someday soon. You can come to Calgary and save me from 'family time'!

I also see a super short, platinum blond hair-do in my future... and screaming something about insanity?!

Funny. Don't make me laugh like that. I'll come out to Calgary for sure. We'll take a drive out to Banff and drool over all the hot snowboarders. Mmmm...already drooling and it has nothing to do with food.< /p>

      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.
