My First NSV



Recommended Posts

<p>This is incomplete, but after reading Vinesqueen's complete list of NSV's, she has inspired me to start keeping track of my own. Thanks Vines!</p> <p> </p> <p>9/14/05: surgery @ 9am, home @ 3pm</p> <p> </p> <p>10/3/05: rings fit a little looser</p> <p> </p> <p>10/5/05: I had a pair of pants that I unintentionally bought a size too small. I was able to wear them, but zip them up only halfway. Today, I put them on (not wiggled into them), and not only was I able to zip them up, but I was able to button them as well.</p> <p> </p> <p>10/20/05: 1st fill & official weigh-in. New BMI is 39.3. I am no longer in the Morbidly Obese category.</p> <p> </p> <p>10/26/05: I have lost 10% of my starting weight</p> <p> </p> <p>10/28/05: My rings are really loose now. While I was typing at work, they wiggled their way right down my fingers, so I had to take them off to continue typing.</p> <p> </p> <p>11/5/05: I ran into one of my grandmother's sisters at Wal-Mart. She said "Looks like you're slimming down aren't you?" That's the first time someone in my non-immediate family has commented about my weight loss. That totally made my day!</p> <p> </p> <p>11/9/05: I tried on a pair of size 18 jeans and they fit! (previous size 22W)</p> <p> </p> <p>11/10/05: I was able to comfortably tuck a shirt into my pants.</p> <p> </p> <p>11/11/05: I visited my Granny for the first time since a week after surgery. She fussed at me about wearing my now too-big clothes.</p> <p> </p> <p>11/12/05: I played football with my cousins without getting tired after 5 minutes.</p> <p> </p> <p>11/14/05: One of my co-workers commented on how big my clothes look on me now. (OK, two comments about my big clothes within a few days of each other? Time to go shopping I guess.)</p> <p> </p> <p>11/20/05: I tried on a pair of size 16 slacks and they fit, but not the way I like for pants to fit. I didn't buy them.</p> <p> </p> <p>11/21/05: As my daughter was taking my pic for the End of 2005 Weight Loss Challenge, she said "Mom you're shrinking!"</p> <p> </p> <p>12/3/05: I went to visit my cousin, and I was sitting with my legs crossed for a long time before I realized that I can now cross my legs!</p> <p> </p> <p>12/17/05: Update from 11/20/05: I went back and tried on those same size 16 slacks, and they fit better. I bought them this time.</p> <p> </p> <p>12/28/05: Went home for Christmas & everyone, I mean EVERYone was oohing and aahing over how good I look. Even my Granny, who usually points out the negative, said that she can't get over how good I look.</p>

      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.
