How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

I love all the great successes. So inspiring while I'm in the waiting process for surgery. Hopefully end of Nov or Dec. I can't wait for the day I don't have to go to Lane Giant for my clothes and underwear!

@rmckellips -- You're gonna love shopping! It's so much fun to go in a dressing room with a size smaller than you're wearing and then realize that size is too big, too! :)

I finally found out what that secret was that Victoria has! Lol. That and I am at the point right now where I can shop in the regular and plus size sections, twice the clothes to pick from !!

I'm so excited to buy Victoria's Secret underwear and bras! Looking forward to regular sizes for clothes, and no joint pain. I am scheduled for bypass 9/22, and I am excited!!!

I wore a halter-style pants jumpsuit over the weekend. I can finally wear a strapless bra! Have not worn one in 25 years!

I bought a strapless bra! I have not used it but the fact that I CAN just floors me!!!!! :-)

Grabbing a pair of shorts the other day that didn't fit the day I brought them home. They were even a little big!

Fitting in an airline seat and not needing a seat belt extender

Realizing that I had run up and down the stairs at work that used to make me so breathless after a slow climb,

It just keeps getting better each week - wish I had done this at 270 instead of waiting 2 more years and 30 more lbs...

I am only a month out and recently flew to Seattle. Before surgery I should have used a seat belt extender but I was too stubborn to so I pulled and pushed the seat belt and sucked in what I could to finally get the thing buckled. This past flight was so much better, I didn't have to struggle at all to get it to buckle and the belt didn't feel like it was cutting into my skin. It was great!

I went to a local agricultural fair & sipped Water & brought a Protein Drink with me. The food all looked & smelled really nasty too me, it used to be "fun" to get French fries or the like. I was just enjoying walking around. Other people who came with us were trying to get me to eat crap because they don't know - even still I said I was on a diet & they still wanted me to eat crap:(

I'm only four weeks post-op and down 40 lbs starting from 338. I air travel for work every week, so my favorite NSV has been the ability to sit in the middle seat of a plane without a belt extender or angry looks from my neighbors :)

      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.
