Wow..... I may sound like a dork, but I have knuckles!



Recommended Posts

This may sound corny but I actually discovered I have knuckles yesterday! Before they were just little 'bumps' that you could bearly see when I made a fist, but now I can actually see the bones! Can this be classified as a small accoplishment? I think it does LOL:)

Congrats! I TOTALLY understand this NSV and you're not a dork for being excited about this. I am watching for mine... any ... day.... now...! Seriously, I've never ever had knuckles and I'm 41 years old! I'm quite small boned and I have "baby hands" When I make a fist they look like balloons!

Thanks! Not many around me really understand what a big deal it really is, oh they are encouraging and supportive, but when I say something like this they just don't comprehend that it is a big deal for me!

Oh, it IS a big deal!! Congrats. I believe the order of appearance for me was knuckles, wrist, collar bone (this was a biggie for me!) ribs, and lastly hip bones. My knees are a little knobby- I'm not sure when that happened. Lol! Enjoy the changes. What a great nsv, congrats!!

My most recent pre surgery NSV was having my husband remove a link from my watch so it doesn't just slosh around my wrist and realizing that it won't take too much more loss for another link to come off! I was almost giddy about it, and it made my husband laugh (in a nice way).

Congrats! Seeing my knuckles for the first time in 15 years was a big deal for me as well.

Other NSVs - seeing my collarbones and being able to wrap my fingers around my wrist for the first time! :)

      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.
