NSV- truly rare occurrence

I've been in maintenance for close to a year so NSVs are a little hard to come by ! ! !

But, today I pulled out some springy shirts from last season to rotate back into my wardrobe now that winter is heading out and the weather is gorgeous here in Florida. I was hesitant to put them on because I remember last year, they were a little snug around my waist and belly area.

NOT TODAY, the one I tried on is actually a little big on me around the lower belly/hip area, and is definitely big around the upper arm area ! ! !

I'm so stoked because even though I weigh the same this means only one thing; MORE INCHES ARE GONE, and my skin is rebounding, and tightening up ! ! !

Now that's a victory that I'll Celebrate proudly. I'm almost 21 months out, and honestly NSVs are a rarity in my little world. My husband actually has a "down day", the kiddo is home from school, and we're heading to the zoo for a family day. It's a 50 acre zoo and when I told my husband how big it is, he said "WHAT, 50 acres? ? ?" I replied "damn skippy, and we're walking as much of it as we can get to" (some of it is only accessible by the little train ride) Which will be another victory because the last time I went to the zoo, I had to sit in a seat my myself because I was so huge ! ! !

I really love my sleeve, my life post-op, my life in maintenance ! ! ! Best decision I could have ever made ! ! !

That's awesome Tiff! I know what you mean about NSV's being rare when you are a bit out.

I just love hearing updates like this from those who have been sleeved for a while. It is so great to have things like this to look forward to. I am most excited to hear the part about your skin rebounding and tightening up! That is awesome!!

:thumbs_up: Good to still hear great things from someone who the sleeve done almost 2 years ago! Great and inspirational!

Awesome! Enjoy your trip to the zoo!

That is exciting. I would keep putting off plastics a little longer, lady!

You rocked your sleeve during weight loss and are kicking a$$ at maintenance, woo hoo!

That is great news! My arms are so flabby and I know my tummy will be too. I was almost your same weight though I think you might be a little shorter and shaped like you too so its' nice to know that I might one day be as small.

Way to go Tiffykins. Enjoy your walk at the zoo. Sounds like fun.

And BTW.....you are a hottie. :rolleyes:

Wonderful to news to hear about the skin tightening effects ... I know the zoo was a lot of fun for you!

Wow Tiffy, you are such an inspiration.

Hey, Celebrate by eating a piece of pie, NO WAIT , DON'T DO IT :rolleyes:
