Just had to share a little (non-scale) victory!



Recommended Posts

Today, the first year of my new life with my band, I got up to take out the dog. I grabbed some lounge pants that I haven't put in in a few weeks, took two steps, and they LITERALLY feel to my knees!

Plus, the jeans I put on next are falling of my butt! Had to look for my belt to hold em up!

So excited for this year!

That's so awesome. Congratulations!!!! For me that was the only motivation I needed to get through the day. Remember it's just one meal at a time!

What is NSV?

It's just an abbreviation for a "non-scale victory".

Hahaha. I'm laughing at you, mainly because I am laughing at myself. 2 weeks ago I was carrying laundry out of the house. My pants fell to my ankles, I tripped over them, fell off my steps and broke my wrist!! I have never been sooooo happy to hear I had a broken bone.

Isn't it great seeing clothes get loose? It means your shrinking! The scale going down is nice, but I think clothes getting big or fitting into smaller clothes is even better. After all, the idea is to be smaller, not lighter. Noone sees that number on the scale (besides you lol).

Holy cow lovinjacobe...it's scary to fall but how funny is this story. Best reason why I'd want to fall.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
