Had a huge NSV victory this weekend. My 3y/o son rode his bike and I ran along side him. Not only did I keep up, I was actually running faster, and not getting tired!! To have the energy and health to play with my son nearly had me in tears. I'm so happy :)

All my years of being married to my hubby, I could never ever fit into his clothes. Now, I can fit his tops,pants and jackets. The only thing I cannot fit is his shoes. I am able to cross leg,sit indian style on the floor and able to get offt he floor with one hand only. Theae nsv are the bomb despite the fact that my scale is not budging. I am down from a 3x to XL and some L and loving it. I still have like 40 piunds to lose and I will take it from there.

I can park in tighter spaces (a problem in LA) because I can squeeze out better!

I tried on a dress in a 16. And it was too big. They didn't have a 14, so my husband brought me a 12, and it fit!!!!!!! Before surgery, 5 months ago today, I had stopped buying sized clothes when 22 didn't fit me anymore! =)

Bittersweet: Saying good-by to some of my favorite clothes, and not having the money to replace them! This morning went through the laundry basket and couldn't find any pants that fit. Goodwill pile growing!

Onederland is so close, I can "taste" it!

Sell your old clothes on Poshmark, and then you'll have money to buy new ones! That's what I've been doing, it works great!

Oh, for my latest NSV: Went shopping at American Eagle two days ago, a store that I always liked pre-surgery, but couldn't fit into any of their clothes... anyway I had tried on a size 8 jeans, and they were too big! I had to go to a size 6!

I think the nsv are more important than the weigh ins. I was in Dillard's the other day and I found I fit in their plus sizes. I was too big for that before. I started crying with armfuls of clothes to try on. Its these things that make the journey worth it. Not the number on the scale.

With work I had to go and visit one of our other offices. When showing my Work pass, which has an old photo on it, they refused to believe I was the same person. I had to call a colleague to come and tell them. ????

This time last summer I was wearing size 28 pants and shorts.

Today I am going shopping for size 18 jeans and shorts because my size 20's are too big!!!

I am amazed every day with NSV's. There are so many, and I am so grateful.

I am so happy that I had the surgery. I will not do anything to mess this up!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
