I just read through every post in this thread over the past few days and it's made me laugh and tear up. Congratulations to all on their NSV, and for noticing and appreciating them!

Your posts have reinforced to me what a good decision this procedure and lifestyle change is. I've started a list of NSV goals inspired by all of yours!

I was cleaning out some drawers and found some khaki pants that my daughter had given me several years ago, back in my Weight Watcher days. Two pairs of size 16 and some size 14s. THEY FIT!!! ???? ????????

My friend rolls her eyes at me when I tell her oh my God I can cross my legs almost all the way around I can almost cross and tuck my foot behind my ankle. She says it's like every fat girls thing that they say after they lose weight. She wants me to take her to my doctor because she wants the surgery this year and I'm a little bit and ambivalent about the whole thing. It's all the ups and downs I don't want to see her having complications of being in pain. Maybe it's jealousy jealousy, I don't want her to have the surgery because I don't want her to feel pain. It's sweet but selfish.

I just tried the tucking the foot behind the ankle. I can do it too! Wow haven't done that since I was about 20. Lol.

NSVs

I like to take baths. It used to be that if I was in the tub, my fat would block the Water from going all the way to back. I would have to move so the Water could fill the whole tub! Now there is plenty of room. A belt that did not fit when I bought it now needs new holes drilled in it. I am going to keep using the belt because it is a very happy reminder of how much smaller I am.

Also, many people do not recognize me! What a riot!

My husband can pick me up! Actually hold me in his arms... I know he is strong, but it makes me feel like a lady. Makes me feel safe and feminine. I love it!

I now weigh less than the fake weight I put on my license years ago! Still somewhat scale related, but a big deal :)

I can now reach the clothes in the bottom, back of the washing machine tub. A big deal to me as I'm only five feet tall and used to have to get a step stool to get the last of the clothes out. I can reach them all!

I can now wear a size 12/14 dress and make everyone in a room stand at attention in aww. Doors open for me, I am treated with envy and respect. And now I am the one of the most beautiful ladies in the room and positive center of attention. And I must say I strut my 3 inch heels like the best of them while the haters just look.

Today, I wore a shirt to church that was bought in the regular ladies department, not the women's plus size department! The first time that has happened in decades! I felt amazing!

      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.
