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.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
