Fabulous NSV....whats yours ?



Recommended Posts

This time last year I was 265lbs I wore a size 20 pants/skirts and a 2x shirt.

Today, I am down 90lbs (since January, sleeve February)

Weight this am is 175 lbs

I wear a size 10 shirt or MEDIUM and in pants Im a 12 or MEDIUM...

did you notice that I said MEDIUM!!! OMG I can't remember the last time I wore a MEDIUM anything! lol

I ordered new scrub pants from Amazon....medium petite and agonized over my size decision until they arrived and I swear I held my breath when I tried them on...completely expecting them to be uber tight. I almost cried when they fit perfectly! OMG who is this person?? hahahah

Happy holiday weekend to me!

What is your NSV for the week???

Medium!! Isn't that awesome?! Congrats! My NSV is size this week too. I finally couldn't take the bagginess anymore and took myself to get some shorts, wearing the same size 24 capris that I was wearing last summer-- but were getting ridiculously baggy. I have been losing a lot recently, so I didn't want to spend a bunch on new clothes that might not fit next month, so I went to the salvation army store and searched high and low for shorts and capris that I liked.. I could only find one pair that were size 20 but looked smaller, I got 4 size 18 and 5 in size 16 so I would have some stuff on hand. I got home and tried everything on-- the 18's were the perfect fit! And the 16's are closer to fitting than I ever thought they would be. I can see them on the horizon :)

Well done on your weight loss. This time last year I was wearing UK size 20 jeans and now I am parading in a pair of size 12 UK jeans. It's true nothing tastes as good as being slim feels. My brother my fiercest critic says I look normal now, and that's all I ever wanted to look was normal.

Well done to all of us who took the step of having weight loss surgery, it's the best thing I ever did and the best use of my money ever ( I was self pay in UK)

Enjoy your holiday weekend USA!

Mine occurred this week.I got to throw out a pair of pants I have had to keep because I would gain and lose the same thirty pounds over and over. Congrats!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
