First Non Scale Victory!



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks post op and the scale hasn't moved much this week. I was feeling a little discouraged but remembered that sometimes when the scale isn't moving, inches are being lost. So I decided to put on a pair of jeans that never fit. Even when I bought them I didn't try them on and then of course grabbed the wrong size. I couldnt even get them over my butt! I put them on this morning and they finally fit! They are even baggy in my thighs now! Definitely a great motivator and now I know I at least went down a size. Woohoo!

I love that feeling. Feels wonderful. Good for you. Clothes are better judges then the scale.< /p>

Awesome.... Is that the best feeling or what ???? I too have times where the scale does not move for a week or so, don't get discouraged it will move again. I also bought a really pretty top which is my inspiration to get into by the end of september - that keeps me motivated, plus I spent a lot of money on the top too !!!

Keep up the good work :)

WTG!!! Non scale victories are great in 2 ways. 1 the victory & 2 next weeks weight loss will most likely be bigger! What a great motivator!

The first 2 months were the worst for me. Congrats on the jeans. I have a pair I can't wait to wear but still have a ways to go.

Thanks ladies! I can't wait to be further out. I met with my nurse for my 1 month post op and she said the first 5 weeks are the worst and it slowly gets better! I can already tell. For me the first 3 were hell!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
