How about everyone share their latest NSV (non-scale victory) in one spot. I love reading about all the steps that make up the journey, so please share!

Working toward the day someone thinks I look too thin. A non-NSV loss, just awhile back little kid👦 looked at me and said "Are you fat or are you a 👩woman"? I will drop enough pounds that my girl-hood 🙆shows and I get a figure that just curves in and out. I'll settle for a glass coke bottle figure 👸instead of a salami🍤 one!

Embarrassing moment and an NSV:

Four years ago I had a few cocktails pre surgery with my husband. I slipped and fell back on the toilet and cracked the base. He is replacing the toilet today.........Buh bye evil reminder of my high weight.

My husband was sleeved five weeks ago and I am one week postop. We have had many non-scale victories. Hubby used to be in pain 24/7 but longer has chronic pain, he can walk short and long distances without being completely winded and out of breath, he flew on an airplane recently without the seat extender, can stand through the entire worship portion of a church service, can use the “small” bathroom in our house again and the list goes on. One major non scale victory is that we now take walks as a couple. We are also looking at purchasing an RV to travel the country before our kids move on to college in a handful of years. The goal is an active lifestyle together. Never would have even imagined we would have the opportunity.

      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.
