Ok today's NSV's I went biking BEFORE I went to a BBQ... In the past if I were going to a BBQ that would be the ONLY thing I did for the day!

Oh and I played hopscotch with my friends six year old daughter :P but really, I was the only adult there not worried about looking silly. In the past I would of told the girl no so I wouldn't have to stand up and be noticed! :D

I bought three pairs of size 8 petites. The scale hates me, but it felt good buying a single digit size.

I threw on a top I had bought just before surgery and rushed out to the kitchen to finish getting ready for our guests. My husband sent me back to the closet. Said I looked like I was wearing a tent :)

I did the same thing today, I walked into the big men's section in jcpennys and I realized I needed to go to the regular sizes.

My most recent:

- Fitting into one of those wire mesh patio chairs at a restaurant w/out looking like my rear end was trying to fight its way out of a giant strainer

- Wearing a size large workout pants!

- Watching the amount of weight I can lift or press steadily go up over the past few weeks at the gym

- buying the next size down in pants cuz I know I'll be able to wear them soon!

- Seeing my collarbones again!

- Feeling confident that I'll physically be able to do a crossfit workout when I work up the nerve to finally try it

- Being able to wear high heels without my feet hurting because there's 240 lbs compressing my toes into sausage

- FINALLY FEELING IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!!

I got on a ride at the fair with my new son last week and I fit! Haven't been on a ride in 15 yrs...? I also went fishing this weekend and fit comfortable in one of those pop out fabric chairs :)

My latest NSV was when I realized that I have gone into the fabulous little bakery that is at my office complex to get my daily non-fat latte and breathed in the great-smelling (and tasting!) pastries and not purchased one over the last 4 months since surgery. Have been some days where I was tempted, but wasn't (too) difficult to tell myself "no". Nice to be making mindful choices that support a healthy lifestyle

Every time I go into Starbucks I want to try one of their new pastries. I tell myself I can't this time, but if I'm really craving it I need to leave from home, not just impulse buy it. You know by the time I get home (only a mile away), I have forgotten all about it! ;-) also proud of myself that I have been stopping for others, not myself. However that may end when pumpkin starts tomorrow.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
