More NSV's ( non scale victories)



Recommended Posts

Having gone from 245 to 145 in less than a year I am so happy and thankful! However the scale doesn't reflect everything right my friends....So I love this topic because it gets us thinking about the awesome perks of losing weight beyond the scale! Here's my update :

1. My wedding ring is falling off - need a re- size

2. My pants never seem "tight enough" how many of us felt like our pants were previously cutting off our circulation ? Lol

3. I get complimented on my clothing by strangers .... Never happened before as I was always wearing frumpy clothes to cover up

4. Strangers in stores ask me " are you always this happy" .... Even though they don't know why- you guys get it .... " yes!!! Yes I am"

5. Finally - only regret .... Why the heck didn't I do this sooner !

Man, yeah, lookin good...!!

So lemme jump on this little bandwagon:

1)No longer taking meds or treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

endless pain meds, and sleep apnea.... utterly life changing!

2) I can buy clothes off the damn rack now, yay!

3) It no longer sounds like someone is getting strangled in the next room when I tie my shoes....

4) It's easy to get up early now

5) I can cross my legs comfortably when sitting

6) I can tuck in even a t-shirt without embarrassment

7) Might swim this summer in front of other people for the first time in decades

8) Might even dance at some point

HELL, KEEP THIS UP I MIGHT EVEN ATTRACT A GIRLFRIEND.....!!!!

One more thing ... Forgetting the size sticker on my new clothing isn't an embarrassment anymore it's all good ! 6 rather than 20 is a badge of honor rather than a shame sign ????

      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.
