NSV: I'm ON the chart!!!



Recommended Posts

So today I was at the gym, filling my water bottle at the fountain, and staring idly at the BMI chart posted above it. I've always just ignored it, because to read it one would think no female can possibly weigh as much as I always have. Of course, people with BMIs over 38 just don't go to gyms, right?

But as I was standing there, it suddenly dawned on me that I'M ON THE CHART!!! A 70" female CAN weigh as much as 268, according to it, and I weighed 262 this morning. YAAAHOOOO!! I guess I'm in normal-people-land!!! (Well, normal with a BMI of 38, but I started at 47 so HEY, I'll take it!)

Way to go, Alex! I'm proud of you for exercising, too. That's an NSV all by itself! (said Nancy, who has fallen off the exercise wagon)

I am sure if I thought about it long and hard I could figure out what it means but I just don't have the brain power right now. So, what does NSV stand for???

HUGE KUDO's to Alex. Great job! Keep it up.

      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.
