My first NSV!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I dont know if this counts as a NSV but my bf and I went to the movies yesterday to see "A Sharks Tale' and I instantly noticed how much better I fit in the seats!! LoL i guess it's the little things but it just pepped me up and made me feel really good about myself!!! I wasnt all overlapped onto him as usual (thank god he's skinny :cool: ) I was in my OWN seat!! Sorry I just had to share!!!

YAY!!! Yes. That's a NSV! These are among the first: fitting into seats at the movie, not needing an extender on a plane, sliding into booths without having to move the table, buckling your seatbelt in the car and having room between you and the steering wheel! Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life! :cool: Congrats!

Thanks guys you are the best! I dont know about not needing an extender on a plane, but the seat belt one is getting a little easier too! It's the little things that make it all worth while! Because in the end they add up to one BIG thing,,,a new LIFE!!!!

Thanks guys

Katie, congratulations!! This past summer I had a similar NSV when eating at outdoor cafes. I had to stop worrying about whether the cafe furniture would work for me--it always did! Isn't it great to feel like you fit better in the world?

Sorry guys I had to ask the first time too! NSV is a no scale victory! For instance if the scale stops moving but say you fit better in the seat at the movies...thats a NSV!!!! Or if your clothes fit better or you get compliments on how great you look! Anything that DOESN'T have to do with the scale!

      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.
