How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

I stood and walked for three and half hours straight last week without sitting once. The old me would have needed to sit down within ten minutes. I have much more energy and stamina as of late. I am nearly seven moths post op.

Oh, I also went from a size 26 to a size 20. I am getting there slowly but surely.

One month after surgery, I am officially off my insulin. I've been insulin-dependent for about five years. Happy day. [emoji4]


OMG I'm so happy for you!!! I can't wait! I just started insulin 2 months ago and it's driving me bonkers!

Will be so worth it! Hang in there. I was bummed, because so many get off it before leaving the hospital. It took me an extra couple weeks, but I got there. :)

Thank god for movies!! I’ve maxed out Netflix and now on to Amazon prime and soon Hulu. I have surgery tomorrow. Even this one day fast has made me so emotional. Wish me luck.

I hope your surgery went well @SGirl35. MY NSV is being able to cut my toe nails with out pain.

P. S. what does NSV actually stand for?

Hi there! My surgery went great! I’m down 26lbs my third week post op. I still do feel sick at times and am learning how to eat and drink slowly. I can’t keep too much down though. My NSV would be ; no more back pain, and I can’t leave out that my feet don’t hurt anymore! I had the worst throbbing foot pain in both my feet and now I can walk and run errands without being miserable.
Congrats on your toe nail victory. I hadn’t tried! I just leaned over and saw that Wow I can! However it does hurt my tummy to do much since my incisions are still healing.

      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.
