Lots of NSVs to report!

1. This morning I am taking out the trash and my neighbor (who I rarely talk to) comes out of her house saying I look great and saying "You lost a lot of weight!" She actually came out to compliment me-or being a nosey neighbor (which she is) she may have wanted to make sure she wasn't missing something! lol

2. My 25 year old daughter had to go out and her jeans were damp out of the drier so I let her borrow a pair of jeans that I just bought (size 16)!

3. Pretty much every day at work someone comments on my weight loss. I am a teacher and went to a school I use to work at and one of the students even said "Wow, you lost so much weight!"

I am off today and will be visiting my mother who lives about an hour an a half away. She hasn't seen me in 2 months and that is the time that my weight loss has become more noticable-she doesn't know I had the surgery. It will be interesting to see what she says. She noticed I was losing weight in Aug/Sept. but now it is a lot more noticable!

Wow, what a great bunch of NSVs! I look forward to hearing what your mother says when she notices how much weight you've lost. :lol:

Thanks! Even my other neighbor said "You're looking good!" Sometimes it pays to take out the trash and recyclables! lol

As for my mother-well-maybe I expected too much? She did say I looked like I lost more weight. Then later said I must have lost about 20 pounds since the last time she saw me. I guess I was expecting a little more "Wow." We wentto Red Lonster and of course it happened-I got sick and needed to PB/Slime. I wen tto the bathroom 2 times - that held me off until later. She doesn't know about the surgery (I didn't want her to worrry) so I was playing hide the food on my plate. I sort of made it look like I was eatingthe brad and salad, but just mushed it around and separatedi it..

      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... :(
