What Do You Mean It Can't Go Lower? Nsv



Recommended Posts

When my weight was increasing, one of the most depressing events was when I realized that I had to raise the tilt of the steering wheel because it was brushing against my ever expanding thighs. sad.png

When I lost some weight pre-op, I lowered the tilt some, but thought there was at least one more adjustment. Well, on my way home from work yesterday, I noticed there was quite a bit of space between my legs and the wheel. When I got home, I went to adjust the wheel and ...thunk...thunk...it couldn't get any lower! I was happy and in shock!

I know I have a long way to go still, but for me, this was one small reminder that things are getting better. cool.png

Just you wait, in no time you will be adjusting your mirrors and your seat trying to compensate for the incredible shrinking you. Congrats so happy for you!

This was HUGE for me when it happened!! I happen to be really short and for a long time I had to keep the tilt up pretty hard... it didn't block my view or anything (i'm not that short lol) but it was uncomfortable... the first time I went to adjust it and it thunked all the way down I was so happy I just about cried. I love driving so anything to make it more comfortable. My mom (we share the car, well it's technically hers but I drive it a lot more lol) even commented that she has to adjust the seat more because of all the changes I've had to make!

What I love is when I take my car for an oil change or something and the mechanic (who is, in my eyes, a skinny guy) has to adjust the seat backwards in order for him to fit! I love that! Always makes me smile! Now if I could only get him to put it back when he's through. . . . hehehehe

This is a great NSV - one I hadn't thought of. I am going to see if mine is on the lowest setting. What a great way to prove to yourself you are a skinny - minny.

      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! 😞
