I was sleeved on Feb 4th , 2012. I decided to take my measurements on Feb 12th, when I got home and was feeling better. Well I took them yesterday, Mar 12, one month later and although I did not lose as much weight as I thought I would considering my pre op diet lose, I was amazed by the inches I lost. I lost a total of 14 inches this month. 5 inches in my waist alone.

Some of you had impressed on me the inportance of NSV's ,now I totally understand why!!!! I feel great!!!!!

WOW! That is absolutely awesome!!! I bet you're happy you measured yourself a month ago! I have yet to measure myself and I am kicking myself for it now! lol

Awesome job!! I need to do measurements... I have mine from when I started my 6 month weight loss program pre-op... Maybe I'll do that tonight...

Yeah me to AllforMy4 - I keep saying I am going to but haven't done it yet! So I have no idea what I started at.

I am so glad that I did because it is so easy to be discouraged when you are not losing. Once a month same time oof month. I took pics also but are not ready to share those yet.

I just registered on here yesterday and I'm sooo addicted to reading everyone's stories, struggles and tips....Thank you all so much and Congrats to all of you....but I have a couple of questions-----What does NSV mean?? Also how do you guys have those cute lil trackers and the info at the bottom of ur post???

NSV means non-scale victories. It's important to Celebrate things even when the scale doesn't move, whether its drops in inches, moving down pant sizes, having to move the car seat up closer to the steering wheel, etc.

There are several places to get tickers, but most seem to use www.tickerfactory.com. Just go to their website and follow their instructions.

Welcome!!

Thank u for the info--I hope to b posting NSV's soon!!! I'm down 73 total (40 before) 33 after but still haven't gone down a size--I thought I would have-plus I don't want to buy any new clothes till I'm sure I'm down a size...so I won't b discouraged if the smaller size don't fit. Thanks again for the info
