Recommended Posts

I've always been scared and nervous to go to the doctor because I was scared I had diabetes or high blood pressure or any of that, but yesterday when I went, I wasn't nervous at all. I went in confident && it turned out perfectly. Before surgery, my blood pressure was a little high && since I've been eating great && working out every day, my blood pressure is perfectly normal!(:

I just wanted to share my excitement. Lol.

:D

Congratulations! You need to remember your excitement about your perfect blood pressure in the future when you may get discouraged about the scale not moving as fast as you want it to! There are a lot of things that measure success and it's not always the numbers on the scale! You have just had your first success story! Keep up the good work, I have a feeling your going to get the hang of this really quick!

You're absolutely right! Most of the time. I let the scale be the only way I measure my success. Thank you for the reminder!:)

Congratulations!! We refer to these as NSV or Non scale Victories. I think NSV are awesome and even better than the number changing on a scale. Perfect NSV is shrinking out of clothing. My latest was my wedding ring slipping off my finger and not staying on. My Wife wasn't as thrilled as I but we can adjust the ring as we go.

But Laurie is certainly right there are so many ways to gauge success!!

Congrats again, Jim

Jim the wedding ring statement cracked me up! I can picture your wife using a role of tape to keep it on your finger! For us woman as the fingers get smaller our diamond starts to look larger! A positive thing for any man whose wife is losing weight that has been asking for a larger diamond!

I have had several people tell me how "good" I looked this week despite the scale not moving. I am putting in the work and have to remember there are other ways to measure success. Congrats on walking confidently into the doctors office. That's a big one. :)

Grats!! I'm in the same place scale wise. I am looking for a win right now, but the scale isn't cooperating. My rings did fall off though.

We're in the same boat. My rings are falling off too. I'm loving that. I just want the scale to show how I feel. Lol.

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

      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! 😞
