I got out of the shower and my bath sheet towel actually fit all the way around.

I weighed myself expecting no change in the scale aka 3 week slow-down. Much to my surprise, I lost 2 lbs!!!!!

What made you happy today?

My BMI is now under 40! I know it's still way too high but I feel like that is a sort of milestone and I know it's never going to begin in a 4 again! That made me happy today :)

Great thread by the way :)

Pre-opper here...What made me happy today? I went to my primary care doctor to discuss my decision for VSG. I was worried and fretted going in to tell her and ask her to have labs ordered. I just wasn't sure what her reaction was going to be.

She had the biggest smile on her face and said, "I am so happy you're doing this. You have worked so hard and haven't gotten anywhere. I think this is the right decision and I think you'll be really successful."

It's nice to know you've added someone to your corner.

Great NSV! Congrats!

What made me happy today??? Well, my A/C was broken (not happy), but I didn't sweat at all (happy!). Before I would've been found fanning myself in a puddle of sweat shoveling ice cream into my mouth.

What made me happy today was that I went in for a nutrition appointment and came out with a tentative date for my surgery....December 18. So, there is light at the end of my tunnel. One endoscopy, two appts., two weeks of liver shrink and ta da...losers bench. I am so excited. I never thought about the towel thing. I have those big giant bath sheets, too, because regular towels don't get the job done. I will be looking for that as a NSV!

That was a big NSV for me too. I went on Vacation in August 5 months after my surgery and I went to a hotel and used a towel and it wrapped around me like a normal person.

And I got calf high boots with no need to worry about getting extra wide calf and in fact they are too loose on top.

Super happy for you I know how it feels to have things like this be big events for you!

      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.
