I just had a NSV this morning. When I first started losing weight I had to go buy a belt to keep my jeans up. Today I went to put it on and had to latch it in the smallest hole. Guess that belt will be on its way out soon. YAH!!!!!!

:blush:I cut off the end of my 'fat' leather belt between the holes (got way too long and was driving me nuts). I refuse to buy a new one yet.:thumbup:

Now my "skinny" clothes that I bought a couple of months ago to get me through are now too big. Down to a 36" pants and XL shirt( but they are fair from a tight fit).

My other NSV was a realization while in the shower the other day. I have a tube shower that I have always hated because it felt so small. As I was taking a shower, I realized that the shower felt alot bigger than the last time I thought about it(before the surgery). It was just one of those silly little things that make you smile and proud.

My NSV was going to the beach with my daughter-in-law and granddaughter last weekend and not being uncomfortable hanging out in my swimsuit. Also being able to run, play, and swim with my granddaughter instead of just wishing we could leave like I used too. Knowing I Just put on a size 10 swimsuit for the first time in years felt great also.

I just came back from vacation this past weekend. While at my sisters it turned cold and all I took was crop pants and shorts, short sleeve and sleeveless. I was very happy that I could go to HER closet and pick out anything I needed to wear and it fit. Have gone down from 22 pants to 18 and 2 xl shirts to xl. :-). Plus she gave me a whole box of xl shirts for winter with tags still on.... how much of a blessing is that?

It's been way to long since we posted in this thread.

Today I was on another floor for a meeting and stopped by to say hi to the part of our group that work down there. ONe of the supervisors came up to me and told me my pants were getting baggy. I quickly appoligized, she laughed and said that she was complimenting me....

After lunch today I a person from the department next to us came over and commented on how much she thought my face has thinned. :):thumbup:

I had my first NSV when I was able to put my wedding rings back on. I hadn't been able to wear them for close to two years. I was looking in my jewelry box and saw them. Thought what the heck and tried them on. THEY FIT!! I was so excited.

I tried to wear a skirt I bought six months ago and it fell to the floor. I felt like the star of one of those weight loss commercials. Lots more to go and it is going slowly but I feel more energetic every day. And I finally made my ticker!

      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.
