How about some NSVs!?!?

[anaxila 501]

Here's a big one for me. I'm on the plane, about to take off for my first post-surgery international flight... and I fit! Not only do I NOT need a seat belt extension, I actually have 6" of seat belt to spare! I just checked the tray table, and it folded all the way down, also with room to spare. It didn't just fold partway down and then run into my belly long before it was flat. This is a banner day!!

My lymphoedema on my lower limbs is now almost unnoticeable, i don't live in constant pain from the osteoarthritis in my knees, I can now walk for an hour without feeling like im going to die! (Used to 5 mins then id quit)

This is my first post on here, and my moment is being able to go from a 4x shirt down to a 2x. I'm also able to exercise without giving out of breath.

This past Thursday, I had my 3 month post-op appointment. The clinic is an hour from my house. My son and his fiance live in the next town beyond that. I took lunch to my son and when I walked into the store where he is manager, I noticed a funny look on his face for a few seconds before he said hello. Later, as I was leaving, he confessed that for those first few seconds, he hadn't recognized me! I've never been anything but extremely obese in his lifetime and now I'm not!

I am wondering if anyone drinks diet pop don't think we are allowed to but how can I stop helpppp!

@@laneydasilva lol this may seem obvious, but if you want to stop drinking soda, the best step might be to stop buying it. When you find yourself going to the fridge in the store to pick one up at the register, make yourself grab a Water or a tea instead. If you don't dwell on it, it becomes easier to avoid. I used to drink a 24 pack a day, and now I can't even steal a sip from someone at the dinner table because it hurts al the way down.

I had an weird NSV today, but I finally had to buy smaller underwear! I know that sounds weird, but underwear are one of those things you can keep through many sizes and not worry about. It also tells me I was wearing the wrong size underwear for a long time and stretched them as I gained weight. Lol may not seem like a big deal, but it was to me.

@@Luvin_Life125, YES! I did the same thing this week. When I walked, the old ones were sliding down under my butt cheeks...

That is what prompted me to buy a smaller size! Lol, I was wearing a cute dress while walking through a busy store only to find my underwear steadily falling further down my legs. I tried desperately to keep them above the hem of my skirt while I slowly edged toward the bathroom. I had to look really odd, but not as odd as I would have looked with my underwear around my ankles. Why that kind of stuff doesn't happen while I am home alone instead of in a crowd, I will never know.

i got my fitbit one for Christmas as it was something I really really wanted to keep me on track and to keep me accountable and what an awesome little tool it is - last week of December I was recorded as having done 7500 steps. As of right this moment I have reached 30580 steps this week!!! my ultimate goal is to get to 10,000 steps a day and I will get there

[shannpann 18]

I crawled up in my fiance's lap! Not only did I fit, I comfortably fit! NSV for us both, he is 11 months post op, I'm 4 months post op.

[anaxila 501]

This is completely a scale-related victory, but I thought y'all would get a kick out of it anyway.

I just noticed that as-of Tuesday, my actual weight is lower than the completely fictional weight I've had on my drivers license for the past 10 years. LOL.

[Sunshine_Gal 68]

@@anaxila I think that's so funny and congrats. My license has said 185lbs for eons, it will be amazing to actually be what it says, I can't wait.

[Mommabird 367]

I am SO glad that I live in a state that doesn't put your weight on your drivers license!
