oh, and stalls happen. body is just adjusting to all the changes, so the scale might not move for a while. my longest stall was maybe 4 or 5 weeks...i was like ahhhhh! lol but it's good when they happen, and you need some motivation, check your tape measurements or try on something new...oftentimes during a stall, the scale doesn't move but those inches keep falling off.

lol my advice? stop stressing about those numbers girl! i'm 1.5 yrs out, down 146 lbs. it happens eat well, stay hydrated, and really, trust me, you're good!!

daisee, we're only a few days apart in our surgery dates. you've rocked it girl! sorry if this has already been mentioned, but what are your plastic surgery goals? i'm 150 this morning (1 lb from "normal" bmi...have never been a normal bmi!), and i love my reflection i always said i wanted to have the figure of a plus sized model, and i'm in an 8 now, but i think with the extra skin gone i'd go down one size, which seems pretty perfect.

Will WLS work if the problem isn't overeating?
nieuwevis replied to WitchySar's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
lol we went out for dinner the other night, and i was so sure that i wanted spaghetti. girl, i didn't eat any of the Pasta and all of the meatballs. that really was so funny to me, because i really wasn't a meat eater before. i ate it, but i primarily ate carbs. i swear the next time we go there i'm going to ask them to hold the spaghetti. -

nieuwevis replied to WitchySar's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
i'm late to the conversation, but my issue was overeating bad foods, i was a total carboholic. now, seriously, even the thought of rice and Pasta makes my face scrunch up. i live in the netherlands, and i'd been craving some good chinese and mexican (cause both are terrible here!), and i could put a hurting on some fried rice and nachos. but now...blecch! hey good luck to you on your journey! -

How about some NSVs!?!?
nieuwevis replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
oh, and i was *rocking* my size 8 skinny jeans! and i turned 35 a few days ago and decided that i needed to up my facial care routine. so i was literally glowing, in my single digit jeans, easily chasing my energetic toddler. lol i was feeling myself today, truly. this rny really has been one of my best life decisions. -

nieuwevis replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
my toddler and i just got back from the indoor playground. besides having tons of energy to chase her little butt all around, my nsv is how cool it was to be able to squeeze through all the little holes and tubes and obstacles. she's only two, but she be fierce, so instead of the toddler area, we ventured to the big kid area...it was huge and sooo fun! i happened to catch a glimpse of myself climbing out of this teeny tube, so i'm squatting, really (cause it still hurts like anything to crawl around! i don't know how babies' knees don't hurt!), and i just easily crawl through. that alone just blows my mind...i'm so little! love it!! -
yaaasss!! and always wear red, darling! you're killing it!

I totally understand this...... I know in my head that I have lost almost 100 pound from the start but I do t really see it Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App yall, this is exactly my nsv, too. so, i was snuggling with my hubby, and i lying on top (don't worry, we're clothed, this is totally safe for work lol), and i said "why is this so uncomfortable?" it turns out that i was still holding myself up as if i was trying not to bear all my weight on him. i've lost 125 lbs, and my body still felt the need to prevent itself from crushing my partner LOL. my mind was truly blown at just how mental this world is, you know what i mean? ahh, this journey is so fun. -
yall! finally in the 150s...10 lbs to normal bmi goal! wheee!!

lol love it!! the other day, i decided to walk instead of taking the bus to a park...about a 20 min walk or so. a year ago, that 20 min walk would have taken 2 minutes cause i would have definitely taken the bus! this increased energy and mobility is so super crazy awesome
lol!
