I'm so excited! Today is the first day I've put my jeans on since my surgery a week and a half ago and they were much looser! I could pull them away almost 2 inches from my belly and they used to be skin tight and cut into me! I'm so exicted!!! I can't believe I'm comfy in my jeans! Also, I put on a ring I haven't wore in a while and it was loose on my hand! I can't believe 26.5 pounds would make that much of a difference!!! Especially since I'm not even two weeks out from surgery! Has anyone else had any NSVs yet?! :D

I haven't put jeans on yet... We are down the same amount of weight so I'm hoping when I finally put them on I will feel that too! Congrats and keep up the great work... ????

Absolutely - your journey is going to be full of NSV's.

I seriously suggest you make a NSV storybook - rather than a journal...take picks or write about when you had your NSV's about how that felt, how it compared to before...mention things it made you think of or emotions that it brought to the surface. This can be a very good reference and motivational tool later on.

Thanks! That's a great idea! I hadn't even thought of something like that. :)

      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.
