NSV means "non-scale victory." These are the successes we all experience that are not tied to the numbers on the scale. It's very important to observe and Celebrate these, because as we all know the numbers LIE. Smaller clothes and new physical achievements are more important than the simple dropping of pounds. You'll be celebrating yours before you know it! :)

You guys are so great. Jamin aren't you next week?? We both have 102 to go. I would saw I'd race you but you have 6 -8 weeks on me. So you'll have to save a spot for me on the healthy, thin, feeling fabulous side of life.

Debbydo~Yes my surgery is Friday the 18th of March !!! That is so cool we have exactly the same amount of weight to lose. I'm saying my goal is to get to 150 but if I lose the 102 and get to 150 I say I'll keep trying for more like 135 . I will DEFFINATLY SAVE YOU A SPOT ON THE HEALTHY SIDE IN BAND LAND OKAY!!!! LOL!!!

Hey you never know we might could race. It would give us an insentive to lose thats for sure. Either way we will both get to our goals and be healthy again. When is your surgery date Debbie?You said about 6 weeks but what is your date?GOOD LUCK!!! Jamie

No exact date yet but my final consult with the surgeon is April 1. I have a family vacation 4/23-4/30 in Disney World. Do not want to be a newbie bandster on vacation. I'm hoping for the first week in May. I have a liberal PPO policy so the surgeon is pretty confident( Because of experience) I won't have trouble getting approved. Who know's I'm trying not to get tooooooooooooooo excited just in case the insurance thing takes long or falls through.

Day after St Patrick's day. Does beer count as a pre opt liqiud LOLOLOLOLOL

You want to get to 115 , how tall are you???

I'm 5 9" I would be a waff at 115. 140 is my goal. I remember feeling really good at that weight.

Debbie I said I would like to get to 135 not 115. I'm only 5'0 tall so I think around 135 would be small eough . Plus I am Large boned and I would look like a skeleton if I weighed 115 TOO! LOL!! My first goal is 150 that is the smallest I've ever been and that was after I lost close to 70 pounds to get there. So I figure that 150 would be realistic for me.

      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.
