How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

Here is a big NSV for me, my little garden. I'm going to eat healthy and grow some of what I eat. I don't think I would have ever had the energy or motivation to do this last year. It's small, but I tilled it all by hand so it was a lot of work. I'm not done with it yet, but I've so happy with what I've got done so far.

I just bought a size 18 dress for my daughters first communion, and a pair of size 20 shorts. I was wearing a 26, plus I haven't worn shorts in years. Man this feels so awesome!!!! :D

I picked up two pairs of jeans for $4.99 each at. Ross. My son is 27 years old and had never seen me in pants. I always wore dresses and skirts because I was heavy. I love getting compliments from family and friends but nothing compares to hearing my husband tell me how beautiful I look each day!

I can wear my wedding ring again and I can now cross my legs. My once too tight bra is now in the 3rd hook and the cups are kinda bulky. I am down from a tight 2XL to a large. I hung up my walking cane. I am off high BP meds, cholesterol med and diabetic meds....to name just a few

I have left the size 20's in the dust and am now in the teens!!! I use to wear a 26 pant and now I'm wearing an 18w comfortably and a regular 18, but tight. I can run a full 2 miles without stopping in 26 minutes (my best so far).

And, in church I can kneel without my butt touching the seat. Sometimes its the little things we never think about, but when they change we are so ecstatic!

Surgery was the best decision I have ever made!

I can probably fit my wallet in my bra it's so loose. Time for a round of new ones. Also down from a size 22 pants into size 11 which is getting big also. Time for a size 9. Best feeling ever. Also having a lot of people notice my 84lbs loss. I tell them thank you for noticing. Feels good to have someone acknowledge my success.

I just realized I am finally a normal bmi! This is such a huge milestone for me. I can't remember the last time I was a normal bmi let alone just overweight instead of obese.

Congratulations! That "normal" BMI is what I strive for too!

      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.
