NSV!! I fit in the chair!

Every Tuesday, we have a staff meeting. Only one of the chairs is armless, and I always sat in it. Just before banding, someone had taken the chair and I spend the entire hour perched on the front edge of the chair. My back hurt for two days.

At the next meeting, I told everyone that it is MY chair. I actually had to say why ... sigh... couldn't they tell? I was embarrassed, but everyone got the point and left the chair for me ever since.

Today, I walked in and this skinny woman was sitting in MY chair. I glared at her and she glared back. I had no choice. I sat in the wooden chair ... and ... I fit! It was such a shock! My first really unexpected or anticipated NSV!! :clap2: :clap2:

No, she wasn't new. She was there whenI announced that it was my chair. However, she is one of the bosses.:)

Thank God she sat in your chair, or you wouldn't have found out you fit in the other ones! Next meeting, announce that you no longer want dibs on the armless chair. You now fit just fine an any of them! WTG!!!!

(Oh, and then kick her ass. LOL that was funny BPM!)

Congrats on the NSV!! The chairs in our lunch room have arms on them and I can't wait to see what they feel like when I go back to school in the fall!

Thats awesome. I know how you feel. I took my 6 year old to the Dr yesterday and for once when I sat down in the chair it didnt feel like my hips were being smushed through the arms of the chair. I loved it. Congrats to you.

I'm wondering what NSV means too. I've seen it a lot and I know it's good but just can't quite figure out what it stands for. Thanks!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
