How about some NSVs!?!?

[kare.1768 6]

On Thursday I had a regular scheduled doctors appointment. They weighed me but I don't believe their scale cause it's not the surgeons office. Anyway, then they took my blood pressure and oxygen saturation level.

It wasn't until after they were done that I realized they used a "regular sized" blood pressure cuff on my arm. That's my first of what I'm sure will be many nsv's. Lol

I cut my hair two weeks ago. That combined with the weight loss keeps people I've known for years to walk past without recognizing me. Including my husband last weekend!

My hubby frantically searching the house for me at 6 am because he didn't see my smaller body under the blankets. He had been up for an hour and panicked because he never seen me come downstairs. Made me giggle! ????

I had surgery Wednesday I'm in a lot of pain and can't drink much is this normal

when I had my surgery in October the issue that I was having was that I could not drink Water without pain and I couldn't drink a bottle of water like I used to. It gets a little frustrating especially when you knew before your surgery that you could drink a liter of water at a time without any issue.

I went into the hospital about nine days after surgery for dehydration. They tell you to drink water and not to drink juice but I discovered that orange juice with Calcium and Vitamin D became my salvation. It was the only way I could stay hydrated for the first two or three months after my surgery. I'm at almost 6 months out now and I can now tolerate water. I don't know if orange juice would work for everyone but my body does not react to sugar or fat's like they told me that it was going to do.

I used to drink well over 100oz a day and now I'm 3 weeks post op and struggling to get 64oz. If I don't take little sips I too have pain. I think I'm so used to guzzling I forget and drink too much.

I'm reading these NSVs and I'm like yep I've experienced that one and that one and I've enjoyed everyone I have had.... But as I was reading I realized its 930 pm and I'm still dressed and I have been dressed all day in my bra and everything . This is a NSV because before losing 146 lbs I could not stand to be dressed. If I was at home I was in my lounge clothes and no bra. Wearing a bra was the devil... Uncomfortable and I hated it so to be dressed all day when I haven't even left the house is a huge NSV for me!!!!!

I am wondering if anyone drinks diet pop don't think we are allowed to but how can I stop helpppp!

I drank a ton of diet Mt Dew prior to surgery. It was my only form of liquid. When I quit drinking it... It took 4 weeks before I really quit wanting one. It was torture. Now I don't even think about it.

I'm in a wedding in two weeks. I ordered my bridesmaid dress about a month ago and couldn't close it when it arrived. I tried it on tonight (4 days post op) and it fits but I actually have a little room in it.

I am able to wear my wedding ring again. I haven't been able to wear it for about 3 years.

I think I posted before but...

My brother yesterday saw me and said, "if you lose anymore weight you'll be a skinny chic!"

I love it. I still have bunches to lose, but I'll take it!

I had to buy a bathing suit this weekend . . . ugh! I went into the dressing room with one and had to go back out to the rack twice to get smaller sizes. I'm down 45 lbs and I don't think my mind has caught up with the size that I need to be in.

My husband and I went to get new registration tags for the car. I paid with a check so I had to show my driver's license. The clerk looked at the picture, looked at me and said "You look amazing!" She recognized me as having had WLS because her husband also had a gastric bypass and lost 220 pounds!

I have another one! When I got out of the shower this morning, I found a pair of denim shorts on my bed that my daughter had put there. I tried them on and they fit! Size 14 and best of all... No elastic waist band! ????

@@Mommabird My oldest daughter is a big girl, I might actually weigh a little less than her now, but I took over her jeans. I couldn't tell if that made her happy, sad, angry or all of those! I'm still large, but I'll take a size 22 over a 28 any day.
