One NSV I've had is: I don't seem to drip food on my shirts anymore, as I lost weight I guess I am able to bend over the table better and I have fewer spills. And I can put my shoes and socks on without angling my body to the side around my belly.

I never thought about that but I haven't been dripping food on my shirts either. I think your right about it being easier to bend over the table but I also think that I eat slower so I am not trying to shovel the food in my mouth anymore. :cursing: What a difference it makes.

I know it's the smaller belly for me because even when I ate slow, I was always dripping something on me. I ruined so many nice shirts/sweaters that way. Haven't had one new shirt spot lately!

And another one I forgot is holding on to the stair railing. I find I don't have to as often. I would often support myself even going down to take pressure off my right knee that I had surgery on.

Amazing the little things with some weight gone. I wonder what other NSV's will crop up after another 25 pounds!

I'm so happy for you Longhorn.

199 seemed like an impossible goal to me and when it happened I had to weigh myself three times to check if it was right.

Congrats again.

This morning I tried on a pair of 16's (not the icky 16W's) I had in my closet from a few years ago and they fit! One pair buttoned but was a smidge to tight but the other pair fit great. They are really cute too. I didn't get to wear them for long because I gained so fast which means they are in really good shape. Very exciting!

I'm 5'1". How tall are y'all?

Fantastic Jill, can't wait for that day. I'm a smidgen under 5'2" so not far off you. This is great talking to people who are at a similar stage to me. I think I might go shopping for pants this weekend to see what size I can get into. I won't buy any just yet though.

      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.
