As I posted before, my first NSV was my rings all fitting again. Now they are actually loose.

And I am down two full pant sizes (loose).

And every single shirt in my closet fits! I was down to just 3 nice shirts that I could squeeze into, so essentially my wardrobe has increased 10- fold!

And last week while filling out paperwork in the gastroenterologist's office, I realized I was crossing my legs and writing with the clipboard resting on my knee!

And I just ordered a seat shrinker adapter for my saddle because my butt is too small!

And I have to go to a Chili Cookoff fund raiser tonight (I'm on the board of the local animal shelter) and I get to wear my nice boots because they now slide over my chubby calves, and my very fancy, embossed leather Cripple Creek jacket that I can now zip up over my boobs!

Yeah!!

Clothing NSVs are so encouraging! I have a hard time seeing the changes in the mirror so smaller clothing is very tangible proof. I go to put my jeans on and think those will never fit, but they do! Amazes me every time.

I too had a couple of NSV's today, first I crossed my legs while sitting down today too -awesome feeling! Secondly, when I was at the gym on the vertical lat press(I think that's what it is) I could push the handles down past my thunder thighs!! So happy about that cuz before I had to stop at the top of my thighs :-)

She's the reason I had the surgery! No more having to haul my fat ass around the mountains for her. :)

I know you like horses..I do to although I have never owned one but always wanted to. You may think Im crazy (my family and friends think I am) but I LOVE the way a horse smells. I have stopped on the side of the road and got the horses come to me just so I could smell them. To me its the most relaxing and calming smell in the world...wish Scentsy made a horse smell.lol

I rest my head on my horses' shoulders and sniff all the time! And even though they don't have a horse smell, scentsy does make a "weathered leather" :)

Horses are the best aromatherapy on the planet! Lol being able to ride comfortably is one of my reasons for having the surgery! I'm only two and a half weeks out but I feel I am we'll on my way to being able to ride again...I can't wait!

      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.
