What's your non-scale victory?



Recommended Posts

So what's a non-scale victory for you? I guess at 10 weeks out I'm still new with my sleeve, but I could FINALLY wear my bra without my bra extenders! I don't think that's happened in 8 years! I can also wear my engagement ring!

Looking forward to no MORE bra extenders, that will mean I'm a real size not a "Make Do"!!!😝👍

I can fit in the bathing suit I bought last year from Amazon that was too snug and felt uncomfortable when I wore it.

Went to a waterpark this weekend and felt pretty good wearing a swimsuit. I was also able to ride around in an inner tube on the lazy river. :)

Two weeks out, put my “regular” bra on and didn’t need the extender. I was so excited. Also was able to wear the beautiful watch that my husband bought for me. I haven’t been able to clasp that in a couple of years now.

Being able to do cartwheels.

Having my youngest nephew throw his arms around my entire waist and squeeze as hard as he can.

      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.
