More NSV's ( non scale victories)



Recommended Posts

Having gone from 245 to 145 in less than a year I am so happy and thankful! However the scale doesn't reflect everything right my friends....So I love this topic because it gets us thinking about the awesome perks of losing weight beyond the scale! Here's my update :

1. My wedding ring is falling off - need a re- size

2. My pants never seem "tight enough" how many of us felt like our pants were previously cutting off our circulation ? Lol

3. I get complimented on my clothing by strangers .... Never happened before as I was always wearing frumpy clothes to cover up

4. Strangers in stores ask me " are you always this happy" .... Even though they don't know why- you guys get it .... " yes!!! Yes I am"

5. Finally - only regret .... Why the heck didn't I do this sooner !

Man, yeah, lookin good...!!

So lemme jump on this little bandwagon:

1)No longer taking meds or treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

endless pain meds, and sleep apnea.... utterly life changing!

2) I can buy clothes off the damn rack now, yay!

3) It no longer sounds like someone is getting strangled in the next room when I tie my shoes....

4) It's easy to get up early now

5) I can cross my legs comfortably when sitting

6) I can tuck in even a t-shirt without embarrassment

7) Might swim this summer in front of other people for the first time in decades

8) Might even dance at some point

HELL, KEEP THIS UP I MIGHT EVEN ATTRACT A GIRLFRIEND.....!!!!

One more thing ... Forgetting the size sticker on my new clothing isn't an embarrassment anymore it's all good ! 6 rather than 20 is a badge of honor rather than a shame sign ????

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
