First NSV's for me



Recommended Posts

I'm finally beginning to get nsv's. Whoo hoo!

1. I haven't taken my diabetes medication since the night before my surgery. :) My numbers have been wonderful, except when I stupidly try some of the foods that I know will shoot them up. :) I don't do that very often.

2. I wore a pair of my FITTED size 24P slacks today. :bananapartyhat: No elastic, no spandex, no stretch. Honest to goodness khaki slacks. And I could breathe all day long. :high5:

;)

My dermatologists' nurse had lapband surgery over a year ago and we talked about mine before I went in. When I went in today, she told me she was so inspired by what I was doing that she was getting back on the wagon and had already been to her doctor for a fill. Cool! :eek: I don't know that I've ever inspired anyone before.

Audra,

It's wonderful that you are able to be healthier so quick - that you can stop some previously needed meds! I take Rx for blood pressure, arthritis, reflux, Fluid retention and am hoping that post band I can reduce or stop some of these meds. It is so inspiring to hear everyone tell about how much better they feel. That is one of my main goals - to be healthier - not just focused how tiny I can be.

I have my first appointment with Dr. Smith on May 31. I am soooo excited to get this show on the road. I attended one of his seminars and was very impressed with his professional (but down to earth), caring manner.

Keep us posted on your NSV!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
