Huge PRE-Vacation NSV!



Recommended Posts

Packing for vacation and usually I am a stress case because, being a short fat girl, it's almost impossible to walk into a store and find an outfit if you forget something, especially as our vacation home is in a small beach town with only one department store.

This go around, I know that I can walk into the stores and buy tops or PJs or a bathing suit or GASP!!! pants and not even be the biggest size in the store.

I AM SO EXCITED!

I can't WAIT to be able to buy vacation clothes whose whole purpose is to cover up every part of me, but still look like beach clothes.

Good for you!

Congrats your gonna love it. We recently just we took the girls to the beach a few weeks ago for the first time since b4 surgery and we had a great time and we weren't self conscious about being in bathing suits. (My wife had the sleeve a week after me)

I've always enjoyed my vacations with my family and have never felt self concious in my suit. (Maybe because I swim all the time and/or we don't know anyone there anyways?)

I'm just excited to know that I can now walk into a shop and buy something new and it will fit! Plus, I won't have to pay $3 extra for a XXL t-shirt at the tourist traps!

Good for you! I was always so uncomfortable wherever we went that I didn't truly enjoy myself. I put on a happy face, and had some fun but didn't enjoy it because of my issues I had with myself.

I completely understand walking into a store and seeing something you like and knowing it will fit. This is one of the best feelings in the world!

      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.
