Non scale Victory

Just so the scale doesn't rule/dictate our lives. It's not always about the number on the scale, so we are always trying to find non-scale ways to celebrate! ;)

Thank you! I was trying all words I could thing of, I was just sure it had to be Newly Sleeved something or other!

LilMissDiva,

I loved the story! That is a victory. I can't wait to watch people do those double takes when they realize who I am, the new skinnier me. I've a long way to go but hearing eveyone's experiences makes me what it so much more!

"Ok I'm a loser...what does NSV stand for????"

________________

I was right there with you fatBgone! I had no idea what NSV stood for in this forum.

I knew it probably was not:

-----

Non Scalpel Vasectomy

NullSoft Streaming Video - a popular codec in my geek world

Net Sales Value

The NSV 12.7mm a Soviet made heavy machine gun

or

Non Specific Vaginitis: which I suppose could be crazy (especially since I have no Vagina) but didn't seem to fit the message.

Non scale Victory works for me...

---

Speaking of scales, I have a GREAT scale I bought from Amazon that weighs accurately up to 500 lbs...I will post a link to it in another topic. Only problem is it will tell you (in a really loud voice) how much one weighs...

That's a great story! I love it that your own mom didn't recognize you! Way to go on your continued weight loss!

Diva...I imagine it was because your mom was seeing you in a group of people and had to pick you out of the crowd where normally she sees you in "your" environment (home, etc). Either way....what a great compliment! I'd love that.

I had the reverse happen to me recently when I was walking in the mall and saw this woman coming toward me and I thought to myself, "gosh, she looks so much like my aunt Barbara...only much heavier." You guessed it...it was ME reflected in a friggin mirror!

What a bummer! Oh well....a week from today I start my journey to becoming unrecognizable to my family because I've become so svelte! :P

Loved it..hahaha Good luck to you~

THANK YOU sooo much everybody!! Today I have decided that I am going to accept what is, and be proud of all my accomplishments. I am going to run a 5k in less than a month and I am healthier than I've ever been in my life. I can thank my sleeve yes, it has been a major contributor, but there is no one greater contributer than me myself and I.

Feeling good about myself, and appreciating the rewards of all the hard work.

Blessings!!! I hope everyone had a really great weekend. :)

      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!!

      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! 😞
