Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Funny NSV ( well I think so anyways)



Recommended Posts

My daughter and I were on vacation and had walked into a store that we have never been in. As we were walking around the produce section I looked across the store and I saw two people that had on our same outfits. The one I noticed first was the lady dressed like me, only she was much thinner then I was. Then I noticed the other woman, and realized she had the same outfit on as my daughter, I walked over to my girl to point the two out to her, and then it hit me! I wasn't looking across the store at two different women wearing our outfits, I was looking into a big mirror that was placed there ( I guess to make the store look bigger) and so of course I was seeing us....I just didn't realize that I was so much thinner then my mind gave me credit for. I still pointed it out to her while laughing at myself....we both started laughing so hard, that I am sure that anyone else that was around must of thought we were either completely nuts, or just on some kind of drugs! Lol

Well that I consider an NSV right there....not even recognizing myself in a mirror! Haha :)

Hope you enjoyed my silly little NSV! :)

That is crazy. But now you know how you really look and can feel extra good about your journey.

I avoid mirrors, windows, and anything that I may see my reflection in at this point.

I remember that feeling, but trust me, you should be taking lots of picture so you can use them as motivation, and comparison also...cause while you are in the middle of losing....or even at the end it is very hard for your mind to grasp how you really look, especially when it comes to looking at yourself in the mirror.

Sure hope it gets easier for you to see yourself and actually love that person in the mirror! Good luck! :)

It is so hard for our minds to catch up to our actual body size. I still see pictures of myself now, and I can't believe that they are actually of me. I was walking next to my skinny husband ( he has always been thin) and I saw our shadows, and I just couldn't believe that my shadow was smaller then his....that is a major NSV for me! Another NSV that I thought would never happen....my hubby is able to scoop me up in his arms and carry me! It is so thrilling, and makes me feel sooooo sexy! :)

      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.
