Non Scale Victories



Recommended Posts

I have just measured myself and using the measurements from before my surgery, I have lost 42 inches from my body, gobsmacked!

Unfortunately, 6 of those inches are from my boobs :57_cry:

Going on vacation in a couple of weeks so having to buy some new casual clothes.

I can't wait to have some vacation photos with me in them that I don't hate!IMG_8825.thumb.jpg.db03ba33bdb3f068751dbbf534d21f90.jpg

Now I just need my stupid tummy to go away, while keep my butt & boobs, or what's left of them!

That's their job! You wouldn't want to put blue jeans on the unemployment rolls, would you?

So the pants I bought a week before this two week trip were a smidge tight. This week I need a belt for one pair and the others aren’t far behind.

I also bought my first aspirational piece of clothing. It’s a good 2-3 sizes below where I’m at but I feel totally doable.

At least corsets gave you some boobs. Jeans just created muffin tops!

My scale numbers aren’t great but my NSV is pretty much all of the stamina I have now. I can take longer walks without being winded or tired. I no longer have knee or ankle pains. I just overall feel great

      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.
