How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

I was brushing my hair this morning and heard a metallic sound hit the floor. It was one of the rings on my fingers. Time for a trip to the jewelers.

Oh no! Good thing you heard it fall on the floor!

I don't weigh myself often so most of my victories are NSV. Today was an incredible day for them. First of all, 2 pairs of jeans that were a little snug last WEEK are a bit loose this week, so I am officially down another size as of today.

Second, I wanted to take one of my dogs for a walk since it was such a gorgeous night. I was only going to go 2 miles, but when I got to the point where I was going to turn around I realized that I felt great, not tired, my legs were feeling strong and powerful, so I kept going. We ended up walking 5 miles, and towards the end I had to slow down because my dog was getting tired, but not me! I thought that was incredible.

Oh I forgot to mention I bought a pair of pants at gap last weekend and they fit perfectly. Today I wore them and they weren't huge but they were definitely loose. $65 not well spent. I think I can have them taken in. And because they fit so good I'm going to buy another pair a size down.

That's funny! Lol

I keep noticing my shoulders - they look downright petite if you don't look a little lower and notice the bat-wings! And is anyone else finding that some chairs are not as comfortable anymore? Evidently we have bones in our butts! Who knew? Lol

I hear you on the shoulders and the butt bones!!

That's been happening to me too! I have to remind myself that I enjoy going upstairs now, because I don't get all tired out!

I'm a size lower than I've been in almost two decades...and the other day I wore some new pants for the first time. I had to unbutton them to get them down to pee! Usually I just pull em straight down. I have a WAIST

1. Looking at the produce in grocery store which is next to the bakery, and having no desire to eat donuts and reaching for fruit & vegs with giddy anticipation.

2. Realizing I'm full when I've eaten only half of what I used to think of as a portion that was "too small"

3. Beginning to lose my taste for sweets

Even better is when that size which you thought you'd never be can be pulled down without undoing the button. ..lol

Going into uncharted size territory. I think I thought I was going to stop at size 16. But noooooo.... New pants are now loose! Weird.

I can now fit both hands down my pants half way up my forearm. I should probably train myself not to do this at work.

Had my 6 month check up... Doc said I looked fabulous and not to loose any more weight.... Or I might look tooo skinny! Wow! We agreed I would try and loose those last 15 over the next 6 months... If I look to skinny after that .. I guess I'll deal with it.

      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!
