How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

I love all the great successes. So inspiring while I'm in the waiting process for surgery. Hopefully end of Nov or Dec. I can't wait for the day I don't have to go to Lane Giant for my clothes and underwear!

@rmckellips -- You're gonna love shopping! It's so much fun to go in a dressing room with a size smaller than you're wearing and then realize that size is too big, too! :)

I finally found out what that secret was that Victoria has! Lol. That and I am at the point right now where I can shop in the regular and plus size sections, twice the clothes to pick from !!

I'm so excited to buy Victoria's Secret underwear and bras! Looking forward to regular sizes for clothes, and no joint pain. I am scheduled for bypass 9/22, and I am excited!!!

I wore a halter-style pants jumpsuit over the weekend. I can finally wear a strapless bra! Have not worn one in 25 years!

I bought a strapless bra! I have not used it but the fact that I CAN just floors me!!!!! :-)

Grabbing a pair of shorts the other day that didn't fit the day I brought them home. They were even a little big!

Fitting in an airline seat and not needing a seat belt extender

Realizing that I had run up and down the stairs at work that used to make me so breathless after a slow climb,

It just keeps getting better each week - wish I had done this at 270 instead of waiting 2 more years and 30 more lbs...

I am only a month out and recently flew to Seattle. Before surgery I should have used a seat belt extender but I was too stubborn to so I pulled and pushed the seat belt and sucked in what I could to finally get the thing buckled. This past flight was so much better, I didn't have to struggle at all to get it to buckle and the belt didn't feel like it was cutting into my skin. It was great!

I went to a local agricultural fair & sipped Water & brought a Protein Drink with me. The food all looked & smelled really nasty too me, it used to be "fun" to get French fries or the like. I was just enjoying walking around. Other people who came with us were trying to get me to eat crap because they don't know - even still I said I was on a diet & they still wanted me to eat crap:(

I'm only four weeks post-op and down 40 lbs starting from 338. I air travel for work every week, so my favorite NSV has been the ability to sit in the middle seat of a plane without a belt extender or angry looks from my neighbors :)

      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!!

      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
