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'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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
