NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if this would be an NSV...it kind of bothered me when it happened. i went to pull my pants up at Wal-Mart and the next thing I knew, they were half-way up my back!! I no longer have that booty-butt blubber to keep them at bay. You know, that "wide gap" that goes on with the pant waistband...it's gone now!!

Today in church, sitting there with a dress on, no hose (yuke), I had my feet together on floor. During quiet prayer time, it dawned on me..."hey, my thighs are no longer the only thing touching...my calves actually touch along with them!!"

Another, I finally decided to buy a new pair of "hip" jeans...well, the 16misses were too big, the 14's fit just right!!!!

Had to go through my clothes for the SECOND time since surgery, getting rid of the ones that are too big.

A friend recently gave me a bunch of clothes that about 4 sizes smaller than when I started this process. HOORAY!

I went to see my therapist yesterday. The 1st thing she asked me was..."Does this hurt yet?" patting her own tailbone. I was delighted to tell her..."YES, esp sitting here on your (hard) sofa!" She then said, "that's why you see all us small ladies squirming in our chairs!"

oh another, went to (sorry) scratch my armpit...my hand went into this cavity...what the heck...never had one of those before in my armpit-LOL!!

Kiki- I feel your pain!!! I have gone from a 46DD, sometimes even a 44DDD to a 38D!! My poor boobies have deflated. I guess I knew that they never stood a chance, anytime I lose weight they are the first to go...I better start saving for some new ones!:teeth_smile:

I'm hanging in there, trying to KEEP off the pounds that I've lost. Been eating more over the past two weeks than before, so maybe time for another fill.

My husband drove my car this weekend and nearly crushed himself up against the steering wheel. He looked over at me and said, "Good grief. You've lost a lot of weight". He's 6'1" and I'm 5'3". I used to keep the seat as far back as he would sit just to accommodate my stomach. Now I'm up A LOT closer and he's just amazed.

Feels so good.

Now if the stinkin' scale would just budge!!

      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.
