3 NSVs in a 24 hour period



Recommended Posts

I'm 8 weeks post-op tomorrow. I've lost 50 pounds from my highest weight last November (right after Thanksgving!). And in the last 24 hours I've had 3 NSVs.

1. I have an important job interview tomorrow so went looking for a new outfit. I was able to purchase off the rack in the regular ladies department...not plus sizes. That was huge...haven't done that in years.

2. I'm wearing a belt that didn't fit around my waist in January...and I'm already adjusting it to the 4th hole. So even though I can't always see a difference in my appearance...it's happening!

3. And my last NSV...I'm getting my neck back!!! You ladies know what I mean. I put on a necklace today that I have avoided wearing because it just felt too tight. Today it is laying perfectly around my much slender neck and falls to the perfect position on my chest.

Loving life after my sleeve. Just wanted to share.

Nice NSVs! I went shopping today at lunch time and I found that I was able to fit into some size medium tops. It was a little snug (but passable). So I bought 2 medium tops so that they will fit me for a much longer period. I can't afford to keep buying clothes right now. I am going to have to find a thrift shop store near me. I know where donation centers are at, but not stores...lol

Congrats on your NSVs! I need to keep off the scales and focus on the NSVs. When the scale jumps up and down or doesn't move, it can be rather depressing. I'll have to think about NSVs more.

      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.
