Non Scale Victory



Recommended Posts

My most recent:

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

- FINALLY FEELING IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!!

I am currently trying crossfit because a friend (RNY a year ago) is obsessed with it and there was a Groupon for the one near me. She wants to be a trainer. I feel like I'm not quite ready for it, because I have to be shown lots of stuff. But they haven't thrown me out, and I'm not giving up half-way through the class. And I can move the next day.

I think the most telling NSV is one my Mom pointed out. We were chatting about crossfit and my Planet Fitness adventures and she said "Kathy, do you realize we've just spent 5 minutes talking about exercise?" LOL. NOT the old me at all!

Hi,

My NSV this week was that I jumped into my pool midday and just enjoyed myself and my evolving body in my bathing suit(which is getting to big :) ). Just happy!

I fit into a size 38 in shorts and Jeans over the weekend! I don't even remember being able to wear that size. At one time in my life I was in a size 54 or 56. At surgery I was in a 48.

One day this week I was visiting an office where the team had signed up for a stair climb challenge. One of their team mates was sick so they asked if I would sub in. I did, and I managed to clock up 86 flights of stairs over the day. I was wearing heels too! Not so long ago I would have used the lift to go up one floor and would have been out of breath and need the handrail if I had to use the stairs.

Wow, my arse was sore the next day though!

Non scale Victories

1. No longer diabetic

2. No more peeing on myself from stress incontinence.

3. I can put my own shoes on.

4. I can see my hoo-hoo again (use your imagination...I haven't seen that part of me in over 10 years :P )

5. ABOVE ALL- The obsession with food seems to be mostly gone...

YAY!

      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.
