Ok today's NSV's I went biking BEFORE I went to a BBQ... In the past if I were going to a BBQ that would be the ONLY thing I did for the day!

Oh and I played hopscotch with my friends six year old daughter :P but really, I was the only adult there not worried about looking silly. In the past I would of told the girl no so I wouldn't have to stand up and be noticed! :D

I bought three pairs of size 8 petites. The scale hates me, but it felt good buying a single digit size.

I threw on a top I had bought just before surgery and rushed out to the kitchen to finish getting ready for our guests. My husband sent me back to the closet. Said I looked like I was wearing a tent :)

I bought a dress that was not from plus dept and sleeveless to go to a wedding. It has been 30 years since that has happened! Yay!

I did the same thing today, I walked into the big men's section in jcpennys and I realized I needed to go to the regular sizes.

My most recent:

- Fitting into one of those wire mesh patio chairs at a restaurant w/out looking like my rear end was trying to fight its way out of a giant strainer

- Wearing a size large workout pants!

- Watching the amount of weight I can lift or press steadily go up over the past few weeks at the gym

- buying the next size down in pants cuz I know I'll be able to wear them soon!

- Seeing my collarbones again!

- Feeling confident that I'll physically be able to do a crossfit workout when I work up the nerve to finally try it

- Being able to wear high heels without my feet hurting because there's 240 lbs compressing my toes into sausage

- FINALLY FEELING IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!!

I got on a ride at the fair with my new son last week and I fit! Haven't been on a ride in 15 yrs...? I also went fishing this weekend and fit comfortable in one of those pop out fabric chairs :)

My latest NSV was when I realized that I have gone into the fabulous little bakery that is at my office complex to get my daily non-fat latte and breathed in the great-smelling (and tasting!) pastries and not purchased one over the last 4 months since surgery. Have been some days where I was tempted, but wasn't (too) difficult to tell myself "no". Nice to be making mindful choices that support a healthy lifestyle

Every time I go into Starbucks I want to try one of their new pastries. I tell myself I can't this time, but if I'm really craving it I need to leave from home, not just impulse buy it. You know by the time I get home (only a mile away), I have forgotten all about it! ;-) also proud of myself that I have been stopping for others, not myself. However that may end when pumpkin starts tomorrow.

      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.
