How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

My NSV is that after about 3 seasons.. i was able to wear these beautiful brown suede boots that i have not been able to zip up past my calfs ... this past weekend.. they zipped all the way up .. and I was showing them off proudly.. Looking forward to seeing the clothes this spring.. in the bins downstairs that i have labled " Don't fit but keep just in case I lose weight " yes i really have a bin that says that.. I have some great designer clothes that I just could not part with and had hopes that one day i would fit into them again... More to come folks ... :D

Excited to be able to extend my neck beyond my boobs when having Soup and not to have to carry the ball to my mouth.

I just got my new concealed weapons permit and when asked my weight, I proudly announced 138. This is just 3 pounds more than the weight on my very first drivers license when I was 16! And 50 pounds less than my current drivers license (which is 50 pounds less than what I actually weighed ????)

My first NSV, well I'm sure there have been more, this is the first one I've shared. I can easily! reach the plug in the tub to let the bathwater out, scrub the bottoms of my feet like it wasn't a chore! Before it cut me in half to try and reach the plug let alone the soles of my feet!

Here is one for you -

I had bought two pairs of boots a couple of years ago and couldn't zip them up my calves even though they were wide width. I didn't send them back. I kept thinking I was going to lose the weight and be able to wear them. Well, finally, last week I was able to squeeze them on! I was just so glad I was able to wear them before the weather turned too warm.

On Saturday my daughter and I were in a bad accident. I had to be taken out of the car on a board as I had tremendous back pain. The ambulance person said I was tiny! Tiny!!! Two years ago I was 291 lbs. Today 155

Luckily we will recover-- my daughter was bruised and banged up and has broken ribs. I broke my wrist and a vertabra.

Tiny! Still can't believe it.

The first thing I noticed was that my engagement ring kept sliding around. I went to the jeweler to get a bar to put on it so that I don't have to keep getting it resized until I sort of stop looking weight. She said it is 2 sizes bigger already!

I also found so much extra room in all my pants. Like 4 to 5 inches. I frequent second had stores a lot.

I also was able to buy a medium t-shirt instead of a large or extra large and I cried a little bit, I was so happy.

      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.

      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! 😞
