Well I think this might be a NSV that's how I think of it , my Aunt was out for the last two weeks visiting and she commented how good I moved and looked and my Uncle said my attitude had changed then they both asked if I was exercising cause my stomache didn't look as out as it did two yrs, ago and I told them no I just walk and bend over a lot at work , they seemed to be proud of my changed way of banded life, as they both have to watch their weight do to medical reasons.

This might be a weird NSV, but I still consider it one. I broke out in hives, (haha the hives aren't the NSV) and had to go to the doctors. While there, they wanted me to put a gown on. As the nurse said this, I dreaded it. Those paper gowns rip and don't fit. I'm complied, and to my surprise it fit!! It's been years! I can't even remember when one of those stupid things actually fit me. Even though, I was miserable with the Hives, it made my day.

And sadly, the doctors still don't know what is causing this nasty hive thing. :( But I'm managing. I will get through this.

Sorry about the hives but great NSV I hope they figure out hives issues maybe try an allergist too :)

Well I had 6 months PCP required by my ins so my process started in March. I took that time to quit some bad eating habits and get in an exercise routine. I was banded a month ago.

Having said all that I am now 46lbs lighter.

Well here is my Nsv.........I had a goal shirt.....a shirt I really love and pulled it out of the closet and have been walking by it all day not wanting to be discouraged. Well hubby asked me what that shirt was for and insisted I try it one. Well it buttoned and was actually to large in the bust area. Yeah. Feels pretty good. I am trying on some of those clothes that I think are too small ;)

I needed a new winter coat so I order a few online all plus sizes and they were to big . I had to get an XL last years coat was a 3x thus the need for a new one . I am on the smallest size in shirts for lane Bryant .i realized in a few weeks I won't fit in a thing there my lower body is a little slower in changing sizes on a 16/18 but I was a 22/24. When I returned a shirt the girl said I'm sorry it didn't fit. My reply was I'm not I'm over the moon it's to big !!!! I love the store but I'm

Looking forward not to be shopping here . She smiled and said good for you. I left the store knowing next Christmas I won't be shopping there and my new xl coat will be donated because it will be to big as well. Single letter clothes sizes here I come . Off to gym to get that goal

So happy for you! I really get the coat thing. Currently wearing a men's XL parka and so looking forward to a women's coat that fits next year; long enough arms hard to find anyway but throw in the huge belly and it's been impossible to find anything for years. Changing that!

My snow pants fit! It's been years. These are overall-style and pretty tight in the abdomen. So happy! Now I can play in the snow, walk outside on icky days like this one, etc. And next year they will be too big. Yippee!

      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.
