What Nsvs Are You Looking Forward To?



Recommended Posts

A new year and a new body! My goal for 2013 is to drop 100lbs! But I'm also really looking forward to some of those non-scale victories, even if they take a little longer. Here's some items from my wishlist:

- No more squeezing into tiny bathroom stalls! Though I swear some of them have the TP dispenser at the worst place possible to really CRAM your legs in there!

- Going to a clothing store and not having to search for the "plus" side.

- Not having my knees grinding under my weight when I go up and down stairs.

- Wearing a swimsuit that doesn't have a freaking skirt attached

- Wearing dresses and not having my thighs rub together til they're raw

- Boots! I want a pair of freaking BOOTS!

- I want guys to try and pick me up. Not that they'll get me (I'm married), but it'll make me feel sexy. :)

What are some goals everyone else has -- crazy or non??

Started the year at 5'6" 373lbs, I was sleeved on June 5 this year. I'm currently 219.

Here is a small list of the nsv's I've hit so far

Ran a 5k with my teenage son

Don't have to use the handicap potty in public restrooms

Sit comfortably in a booth at a restaurant

Don't have to hold my breath to tie my shoes

My kids can hug me and touch hands behind my back for the first time in their lives

I can buy clothes off the rack in almost any store now

I have unsubscribed to casual male xl

Got down to the weight I was when I got married 17 years ago

Doctor took me off all of my bp meds

Skinny sex is more fun

Nsv's I'm still looking forward to

Throwing my clap machine off a cliff that I had just climbed!

Rock climbing. Even if it's just a rock wall, still not sure if I'm ready to try, but I wanna

Being able to do 10 real chin ups

10k

Good luck,

If I can be successful at this, trust me, anyone can

* Never, ever, ever again shopping at Casual Male Big and Tall. I'm tall, but many regular stores sell tall clothes now. And let's be honest, 99% of my fellow customers at Casual Male were not in the tall category.

* Not worrying about whether a restaurant booth will fit.

* Never breaking another resin lawn chair.

* Skinny sex sounds fun. I guess I could have started that sentence at "sex." :)

* Taking my CPAP machine (also now know by me as my "CLAP" machine) and hitting it with a hammer.

Getting sleeved tomorrow, January 8!!!!!

      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?

      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.
