How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

Smiley, I know just what you mean! I did the same thing. I'm now 22 months post surgery, down 134 lbs and it is awesome! It took me a bit of time, but now I am so comfortable in my size 10/12 body!!!

In 2 days I have been described with the adjective of thin. I have never been called thin in all my 37 years! Having new adjectives in how people describe me is a NSV.

I am only 14 days post op but I sat in my favorite chair on my front porch and didn't have to hold it down when I got up to keep it from being stuck to me.

34 lbs down from my highest weight. I went to see the 3rd movie of the hunger games and my legs didn't touch the arm rests. That was a great feeling.

My last two drains were supposed to come out today but they still aren't ready. Now it might be wednesday. The drains are the pits!! I can't get over how tiny I am now. People have been telling me for month's but now I see it. I like being 117. It feels right for my frame. My clothes all fit so much better now and bottom now matches the top. I am so glad I did the lower body lift even for as painful it is it is worth it for me.

I don't have my RNY until the 10th, but, my blood sugar levels are low enough that my surgeon has pulled me off all my diabetes meds!

Today my mom said: your eyes look bigger. It's not much but it's a start!!!

I am looking forward to being able to hold my daughter on my lap with room, being able to sit in a booth at a restaurant comfortably, being able to win my @&&@ without crazy circus maneuvers , having people not ask me when my baby is due, going window shopping and actually feeling like I belong in the stores I visit

CALORIES? I use bariatric pal to track my Protein. I'm a slow loser, I've only lost 16 since surgery. Anyway bariatricpal told me that I need 1000 calories instead of 800 because it's slowing my metabolism. My team has told me to just pay attention to my Protein and Water the first three months but...I don't want to eat to much and I don't want to eat to little!

I TOO AM GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ON HERE BRONX!

Got to love children.... I was told can't believe how flexible you are now mom. You can crawl into a ball in chairs. I hadn't noticed but I like sitting with my legs up tight to my chest.. Big change to have my knees to my chest...

Being able to cross your legs and being look upon by others in envy when you enter a room instead of smirks . Looking good in your clothes by wearing single digits instead of plus size. And of course being healthy .

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
