Non Scale Victory



Recommended Posts

My most recent:

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

- FINALLY FEELING IN CONTROL OF MY LIFE!!

I am currently trying crossfit because a friend (RNY a year ago) is obsessed with it and there was a Groupon for the one near me. She wants to be a trainer. I feel like I'm not quite ready for it, because I have to be shown lots of stuff. But they haven't thrown me out, and I'm not giving up half-way through the class. And I can move the next day.

I think the most telling NSV is one my Mom pointed out. We were chatting about crossfit and my Planet Fitness adventures and she said "Kathy, do you realize we've just spent 5 minutes talking about exercise?" LOL. NOT the old me at all!

Hi,

My NSV this week was that I jumped into my pool midday and just enjoyed myself and my evolving body in my bathing suit(which is getting to big :) ). Just happy!

I fit into a size 38 in shorts and Jeans over the weekend! I don't even remember being able to wear that size. At one time in my life I was in a size 54 or 56. At surgery I was in a 48.

One day this week I was visiting an office where the team had signed up for a stair climb challenge. One of their team mates was sick so they asked if I would sub in. I did, and I managed to clock up 86 flights of stairs over the day. I was wearing heels too! Not so long ago I would have used the lift to go up one floor and would have been out of breath and need the handrail if I had to use the stairs.

Wow, my arse was sore the next day though!

2. No more peeing on myself from stress incontinence.

3. I can put my own shoes on.

4. I can see my hoo-hoo again (use your imagination...I haven't seen that part of me in over 10 years :P )

5. ABOVE ALL- The obsession with food seems to be mostly gone...

YAY!

      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!
