I GOT TWO TODAY!



Recommended Posts

You gotta love a good NSV. You come to rely on them to a certain degree to help you get through this process. They don't validate what you are doing but they sure do make you feel good. Today, I had two, not one but two LOL.

1) I saw the light :) ... You know that ever evasive triangle of light at the top of your thighs. Well today, I saw it for the first time hehehe! I was just freaking giddy.

and

2) I was talking to a co-worker, who knows about the surgery and here is how the coversation whent

Co-worker: "OMG (she's young so she actually said the letters OMG lol ), what are you now a 4???"

Me: "Uh, nope not yet but these pants I have been waiting to fit into for a while now, but they are a 9/10."

Co-worker: "No way! Look at your legs, they are smaller than mine now and I am in a 4. Those pants have got to be sized wrong."

Me: "Either way, THANKS! I appreciate that."

Just made me smile.

Congrats Raine! NSVs are the best! I'm gonna go check and see if I have a triangle of light or not right now :-)

Yeah, me too! I was bragging to my wife the other day that I could see something between my legs that I hadn't seen for a few decades, she coyly asked "What?" thinking I was bragging on "something else" and I replied LIGHT! I can see between my knees and my crotch and even stick my hand in between my legs without separating them at the knee or forcing them between fat!

Congratulations! What an outstanding discovery! As far as I know, on me, the light is purely theoretical. I hope it will be making an appearance sometime before year-end.

About your size 9/10 pants - with current sizes (I swear they are bigger than they used to be) - they may be equivalent to a size 4. Anyway - what a nice thing to happen.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
