I just had a rant and I want to counter it with some positivity. I know a lot of ppl were sleeved fairly recently and I've seen a lot of new "stalls" threads pop up. I'm avoiding my scale so I'd like to focus on some NSV's to help boost morale.

Previously tight clothes are now comfy.

Some pants that didn't fit now fit snugly.

Bittersweet: bras fitting better around, but alas, looser in the cup.

Saw my dad on Easter and then a week later and he was impressed with the "obvious" weight loss in a week.

Hubby says clothes fitting me different and he loves "the girls" even tho they're shrinking.

I was sleeved yesterday. Sore. Tender. Happy! I lost 19lbs preop! Overall my experience here has been great.

My shoes fit better. I'm already feeling sexier.

I am enjoying the pre-op pants that were a little snug are loose! I'm avoiding the scale and trying to keep weighing in to once a week.

Since I'm less than two weeks post-op, my most recent thrill was being able to comfortably sleep on my tummy again. :)

I'm with wlq. We took a trip to Arizona for spring break and for the first time in years I didn't need to get a seat belt extender for the plane. I made sure to point it out to my family!

The pants that I took for travel to Mx preop were previously snug. Now they are loose.

Idk if this is a NSV or a reason for shame/embarrassment but I've since discovered spots on my legs that have not seen a razor in some time...

Yes! Great thread!!!! I'm only a week out, and things are still fitting very snug around my tummy from gas/swelling, but my shirts & dresses are huge on me! Looking forward to wearing clothes I've not been able to for years!

      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... :(
