DH and I went to eat at a restaurant the other night and I went to use the restroom while he was seated. When I came out he was in a booth. YES, I SAID A BOOTH!!!! Well, I was looking at MY side of the booth, (did I mention that it was a booth???) and it didn't look very big to me. I looked at DH's side and thought his looked A LOT BIGGER. So, I decided to scoot the table as I sat down to move it to his side more, but, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, when I sat down, I FIT!!! I couldn't even believe it!!! I never thought I would ever be sitting in a booth and not have my big fat enourmous stomach smooshed against the table so tight that I could not breathe. BUT, there is another but, there was about 5 inches or more between me and the table...WHAT???? with room to spare...I got tears in my eyes and so did DH...what a great great feeling. I was so elated the rest of the night and when I type about it now, I am getting that same feeling. :whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:Can't wait for the other NSV's that are coming my way very soon!!!

I had the same feeling a few weeks ago in a booth. Then it got better, I went to use the bathroom and I could fit in a regular stall without the door hitting me in the chest or stomach. I just opened the door like a normal person. I usually used the handicap stall, but someone was in there...I was so happy!

Thank you all for the nice words. I also love to read about the nsv's. I think they are better than the scale moving sometimes!!!!

Congratulations!! I think you've had a victory for all of us. Funny how we automatically look for those little things, can I sit here, can I fit here, etc.

Way to go.

I remember the first time that a booth was not scary for me and my boobs were not going to be on the table, it was wonderful, now I ask for a booth!! I would do a Toyota jump (It's a great feeling) but uh no, not yet,lol

      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.
