Strange but good



Recommended Posts

This morning I was getting dressed for work (I'm a guy, btw), and I was putting my belt on. It's still dark out as I come in early.

I kept fumbling around trying to poke the metal shaft (does that thing have a name?) into the belt hole. I was actually getting frustrated and had to turn the light on to see what the problem was. Turns out I had it cinched up past the last hole!

It's a small thing but it really made by day. 2 weeks post op, it was the first "real" example of my weight loss.

I guess I need to go buy another belt. :thumbup:

Congrats on your first NSV (non scale victory) - that is awesome. The cost of surgery is nothing compared to all the new clothes and belts you will have to buy now. Keep up the good work!:thumbup:

That is exciting!! I stopped wearing belts as my waist in the morning tends to be quite different from my waist in the evening so I wear clothes that give... those don't generally have belts loops.

I look forward to going belt shopping someday!!

Belts were my new fashion accessory when I began this journey. I could wear blouses a lot longer when I cinched the waist (imagine. Me, with a waist!!) with a new belt. Otherwise, I just looked too sloppy for business.

P.S. I have NO idea what the name of the belt buckle pokey-part is; I'm now on a mission to find out.

That is sooo COOL!!!!

Take an ice pick, an old board and poke some more holes in it to be able to wear it longer. Unless of course you REALLY need a new belt!

PS> I don't know the name for the little metal pokey thing either! Asked DH and he has no clue either!

      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.
