I can finally post an NSV list



Recommended Posts

The other day, I had 3 people stop me to tell me they can see my weight loss.:(

I am able finally to walk some distance without my cane :crutch: :clap2:

And my drawers are getting droopy:clap2: :clap2:

I've really been waiting to see a difference in my arthritis pain and getting to the point where I didn't have to depend on my cane, I'm getting old, but I hate looking like an old woman with that thing.

Congrats to you on your NSVs!!! That's just super!

My arthritis is still just as bad in my knees...I usually get cortisone in my knees, but it wears off after about a month. I go back to work on Aug. 28th, so on the 23rd I'm getting shots so I'm ready to go. Maybe it will last a bit longer now that I'm getting a bit lighter. I know I need a new knee, but I have to get through another school year before I can think about whether or not we're scheduling it for next summer or not.

You are doing great!! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!

I was looking for an NSV thread last night, too.

My stomach used to buldge over the steering wheel when I drove, and now at just shy of 35 lbs down I can fit my hand in between my stomach and the wheel! That's so cool!! There was a time when DH and I were dating 20 years ago where I could fit inbetween him and the steering wheel when we'd go parking!! Those were the good 'ol days :(

Thanks. I used to get the cortisone as well, and they don't last very long. I tried some of those new injections that are supposed to last for 6 months to a year. They didn't work. 5 injections over a couple of weeks and absolutely no results. So this nsv is the best.

Wow, that is great. It has to feel so good to slip behind that wheel and see that space. Good for you.:clap2:

Robin - congratulations on your NSV's. Sometimes those are better than watching the scales. Simple stuff, too. Like being able to get in/out of a car without multiple pushes!

      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.

        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... :(
