First non scale victory since pre-op started....



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Today I had my very first noticeable non-scale victory. With being a big girl I only had two pairs of jeans. One pair I just bought in February for my grandson b-day party. Well they are so baggy now(YEAH). The other pair I could fit but unable to breath if I wore them. Well today I decided to try them on and low and be hold they FIT! but are not too baggy. I tried these on 2 weeks ago to day and they where still too tight. I wore them to work(casual day) and my co-workers kept saying i need to go by some jeans...lol Love my non-scale victory!!

That's great!

My first NSV.... My A1C in January was 10.1. At preop, sometime in April it was 9.9. Two weeks after surgery (early May) it was 8. Endocrinologist was thrilled, already took me off one med.

Thanks everyone for the congrats and encouraging words. It is amazing how all of this is working out. I know i am still a newly banded and there may be time I won't be this excited. I will relish while I can and prepare for some of the possibilities that can happen. CTJohn great job on A1C. January 2014 mine was 11.2 repeat test before surgery (April 2014) was 8.2. I had changed my eating habits and increased the Protein and lower carbs. Can't wait to see what my next A1C will be like in July.

      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.
