My Biggest NSV



Recommended Posts

I ran a mile without stopping...and I could have gone for longer!!!

It felt like it has taken me forever to get to this point. I am really happy because I have never ever been able to run a mile.

My heart health has improved dramatically and that is the greatest gift I can give myself.

That's awesome! I know just what you mean because I've been working up to doing more running and it's just an amazing feeling to realize how far I've come. Keep up the good work.

You are amazing! That is a fantastic NSV. So when is the first 5K going to happen???

You should be very proud. It's quite a gift you've given yourself.

I was planning on doing a 5k in November (this month) but I have to be out of town for work over the weekend of the event.

Anyway, I will set an official date for my 5 k, maybe when it gets warmer.

I have been having some exercise-induced asthma from running, which is something that's never happened to me before and is kinda scary.

That's awesome!! I can't even imagine running (unless it's from a big dog or to a sale, LOL) but I think it would be such a liberating feeling! Funny how even our thoughts towards some things change as we start to make a commitment to this new lifestyle! Way to go!!!

      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.
