New NSV :)



Recommended Posts

It's been quite warm here for a few days, so for the past 3 days I've worn my comfy long flowing summer skirts. I've always avoided wearing skirts such as these, because without stockings, my thighs rubbed together and chafed something horrible - often to the point of bleeding.

Well, for the past three days I've been the most comfy girl in the world LOL. My thighs haven't touched even once. I'm going to go out and get a couple more of these lil gems because they're just soooooooo easy to wear in the summer and now I can hehe.

You go girl! That is a HUGE NSV. I am very proud for you. My advise is to keep a list of all your NSV as you go along for it helps to look back at all these great little miracles when you are at a plateau in your wt loss (like I am right now).

Have a great day and ENJOY the new freedom of skirts with no stockings!

Gosh, I just love those long, flowing skirts and because I live in Miami, FL, the weather is always appropriate to wear them, but too hot for pantyhose. I too have the chaffing and bleeding, really painful and awful. Congrats to you, enjoy those skirts and feel as sexy as I am sure you are in them. Any chance of a couple of pics with you wearing one of those lovely skirts? Just thought I'd ask, I love seeing the pictures, they are sooooo inspirational to me.

We used to joke about "fat rash". I remember hot summer weather walking home from school, I used to suffer terribly, havent done in recent years because I wouldnt wear a skirt if I was going to be walking around outside in the heat.

But I used to get it badly when I was a measly 80kg (I'm 5ft 10) - that's what I mean about my goal weight needing to be at the low end of my healthy weight range, down in the 60's. And wearing a tight denim skirt in the hot weather?Ouch!

Those victories are just coming thick and fast for you now arent they? And everytime I look at your stats, your weight is lower. Way to go!

WTG! I always wear shorts under my skirts & dresses just because of the chafing. I cannot wait for the day I can post this NSV myself! Awesome!

That's right up there with the aggrivation of your shorts riding up one leg. Never figured out why they only ride up on one side, any way, that was my nsv this summer, no more shorts riding up my legs, walking a foot, then pulling it out, come on ladies you've been there I know, LOL.

roflmao! yes I've been there. Its sooooooo not a good look isnt it?

All I can say is thank GOODNESS for the last 3 or 4 years I've been really heavy fashion here has been mainly 3/4 length pants. Shorts havent been a big thing. I really havent worn them for a couple of years, not because I"m too embarrassed to but because they're just not around much in the shops.

      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.
