To start off, I went to the Dr. for my second fill on New Year's Eve. I was both thrilled and upset that my Dr. said he wasn't going to give me a fill. He said I was losing weight much faster than others and that there was no need and was happy about my progress. I, of course, going into the appt., didn't think 6lbs in 3 weeks was such an accomplishment, but I guess so! :) At least I'm consistently losing at this point, I am happy for that. But of course, don't we all want it to go away faster? lol

So, on to the NSV. I went to a local thrift store today in search of some lighter clothes for my trip to FL next week. To my surprise, I saw a Burberry peacoat on the rack and decided to give it a try, after thinking, nah, it will never fit. I've never fit into nice peacoats, ever...unless men's, and obviously very bulky and horrendous looking. To my surprise, it fit...even with my bulky sweatshirt on :) and to add to that, a Burberry coat for $6! Woo hoo :) Not to mention, I also purchased a few shirts and pants...which I NEVER find anything to fit me, or I just hated my body so much before that I wasn't excited about buying new clothes. Down from a 22 pant size to a snug 16 now and it feels so good :)

Peacoat??? Uh, congrats I think? Don't know what a peacoat is but as long as you're thrilled!

There are a few on here who have not had a fill at all since surgery and are losing weight continuously. CarolinaGirl is one of them. I envy her for the fact that she has a plan B to fall back on should plan A slow down or falter. She said she's always got the fill to fall back on if all else fails.

As long as you're losing weight and not suffering from not eating enough, I have to agree with your doc. Good job!!

Exactly! 47 degrees, that's a heat wave! Lol. We are headed near Miami which has been mid 70's-80's :) considering upstate NY is -20 right now, I am OK with even 47! :) and to the one who asked what a peacoat is...lol, it's a nice, dressy wool coat, usually navy or black. Think of the dress coats that the navy boys wear...needless to say, a coat I could never ever squeeze the "girls" into LOL the girls are now a little deflated, but I'm not complaining! Haha

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
