Who's has experienced a New NSV Lately ?



Recommended Posts

I was in the drug store yesterday looking for the right Vitamin. The pharmacist came out to help me. I picked up a bottle to see if it had the ingredients that I wanted and she said, "You don't want those. They're formulated for people over 50." I said, "I am over 50." Her jaw dropped and she said, "You're kidding?!"

I worked in the medical field and I left the job one week before my surgery. i dont keep in touch with any of my co workers. last night at the mall a lady came up to my daughter and said 'are you Paige?" she looked at me and said yes. she said i worked with your mom could you please tell her to call me. my daughter started to laugh and said shes right here... the co worker looked at me and just jaw hit the ground ! all i could do was smile :) this morning I get up to 6 e-mails from old co workes wanting to know what I did....

if that wasnt enough to make me beam thru the mall i went into a store hot topic *punk* store to pick up Christmas presents and they had skinny jeans snake skin print on clearence..so i tried them on in a size 12 they fit with room to give so I put on an 11 !!!!!!!!!!! my daughter cried NOOOOO you cant wear cool clothes !! I LOVE my band <3<3<3

These NSV's just keep coming ! ! !

I put on a pair of sweats that I had washed, and put away in the Dresser.

They are a XL in size.

I put them on today, and they were falling off ! ! !

I was going to the Gym, so I said NO ! It can't be.... I need them for today until I come back and do the Laundry.

Then I thought WHAT ! What are you thinking "YES!" star.gifstar.gifstar.gifstar.gifstar.gif That means you now fit in a Large in sweats, My husband looked at me and said wow! you are shrinking ! He saw how they just hung on me, so did the top.

So I said I'll pick some up somewhere, but at this rate, I'm not buying all new, These are about 6 weeks old, and they were a snug fit.

Not Anymore!

So now I'll be trying a LARGE. That's a size I haven't been into since I was in my Teens.

I had a unfill, so I thought I don't want to gain weight.

I guess I was wrong..

You look in the Mirror, and you just see you ! I had no idea at all that I dropped a size in sweats .

This band is Great ! If you have patience, and don't worry about the scale so much. Just work out and watch your cloths sizes shrink... This works ! That's how it works for me....

Last week I bought my first pair of jeans in a size 18, I thought I was buying them for inspiration as I knew I was getting close to fitting them. I brought them home, put them on and they fit!!! YAY!!!

Yes we all are about due. You are doing a good job. I have lost 104 lbs also, I have 40 more to go. But the scale is moving very slow. I think I need a fill. The last time I went in Sept. for my year check up. He told me to wait another 3 months, they didn't want to overfill me then I am running back to have it taken out. I feel some days I am struggling not to overeat. But all in all it is going very good. Keep up the good work and I love NSV's everyday I have a new one.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
