You are all doing so awesome! It does make it a bit harder to drive without the aid of our belly :tongue2: I think we can deal with that.

I have two awesome NSV's

We went to visit my uncle, whom I haven't seen in about a year, we had a lovely visit and came on home. The phone was ringing when we walked in the door. It was my uncle. He said,"I forgot to tell you that you have lost a lot of weight and look terrific. I'm proud of you" That made my day!

On Saturday I went shopping, walked into OLD NAVY, a store I have never even been in, and found a top that almost fit. It will fit in another 5 lbs or so. I was so excited that I bought it.

It's been a great week!

I have started a bag of things that I just CAN NOT wear! I have been trying to stretch my old clothes long enough to avoid buying new right now, but there some somethings that are starting to look like maternity clothes or something on me. I am pulling them out and they are going away.....far far away! I just can't believe they used to fit me!

I am no longer morbidly obese or even very obese. I am now in the plain old obese range (hopefully not for much longer).

I am also single again after my partner of 6 years left me to go and find himself and his freedom (and picked up a 20 year old within a week or two _ I'm 25).

I'm not coping well but can only imagine how I would be if I was still at my heaviest and had no band. I'm devestated but I have hope of being slim and healthy and getting out there again. And when he sees me he'll kick himself :thumbup:

My two NSV's -

I was wearing a baggy 28 (my butt was SO huge, OMG, it was gigantic!) and now I can fit into a 20.. it's so weird because a lot of my weight came off my lower half when normally I lose my waist first. I have lost a lot of waist, but wow... I think I've lost about 6 inches in my butt . Now, granted, the 20's are tight and give me a muffin top, BUT, they button and zip up easily. So, I'm sticking with the 22's for now, but in about 8 more pounds I think the 20's won't give me that muffin top. Because of that I had my hubby take down the two big tubs of clothes from the attic that had all my 18's, 20's and 22's in them. That was nice..

I went to my sister in laws and when I sat in her chair there was actually space between my side and the chair. Holy crap! I use to touch the sides big time. That felt really good.

I was soooo excited the other day when I had to move my seat forward in my car because I could'nt reach the pedals. It was like overnight I just needed it moved up. I am a nurse and almost daily now one of my co-workers tells me I need new scrub tops because I look like little orphan annie. AND these were tops that used to be too tight. Congrats to everyone!

Today when they were prepping me for surgery they used the regular blood pressure cuff. I needed the large one before. Told the nurse "Wow, nice NSV there.".

Come to think of it, I think they used a regular cuff on me today at my yearly womanly check up. Also, the gown fit me with no problem. I used to hate putting those things on.

Wow! You are doing so great! You're almost normal weight. I bet by your 6 month you won't even be technically overweight anymore. Congrats :)

      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.
