How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

He used to... So I took it away only because it causes me to get migraines.... Any heavy smells do! I kept telling him how to properly wear cologne and finally the last few months it sank in! He loves to look at himself in the mirror and match his shoes to his outfits... I think he has more shoes than everyone in the house put together... And his clothes MUST be name brand... If I didn't know any better I would think I was raising a teenage girl! He's also on the football team(second year) and he thinks he's all that ! But I love him to death ; )

I went on a steep 3 mile hike up the Rocky mountains. I've never been hiking before. My kids couldn't believe it when i woke them up saying let's go hiking in the mountains. People (strangers) along the way would stop and encourage me saying great job lady, you can make it. It was incredible. I can hardly wait to do it again, and eventually get all the way to the top!

Good looking boys! Mine is 22 and in the USMC. He never got the knack of using cologne properly... he STILL reeks of it. As for clothes, the only requirement he has is that they be skin-tight to show off his huge muscles. :-)

I finally have a NSV to share! Granted I'm one week post op today????I however lost 20 pounds on my own since June but few have commented. I went to a barbecue today and upon my arrival saw two of my sisters that have not commented on my weightloss in the past couple of months nor do they no about my surgery. But today they both said "d*** you have lost weight. It looks like you've lost over 15 pounds or so". Now here's the really good part they said they thought I was my daughter from a distance. I had to laugh at that one because I'm 130 larger than her. Just for them to notice anything at all is a vast improvement . I haven't been on the scale to tell you just how much I've lost since surgery but I'll find out tomorrow when I go to the dr.

I am now down 70kgs on my weight loss journey, my favorite NSV are my rings falling off as I flick wet hands dry, my necklace sitting a few inches lower on my chest, dropping from size 28 to 16 in jeans something I've not worn since I was 14, and I'm 51 now. My face is so different, people think I've had cheek implants, but it's only my neck and jawline so much smaller, buying clothes in the normal size range,

Yesterday I went shopping for work clothes. I bought size 14 pants and medium tops! I came home and modeled for my 19 year old daughter and when I was telling her how excited I was to have new clothes I started crying. I told her how I have felt that I have been lost for so many years and now that the weight is gone I found myself again! I feel like Peter Pan ... Except instead of growing old and the lost boys showing him that he was still the same inside, I lost weight and the old confident excited me came back to life! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

I shopped at the Salvation Army a few days ago, bought a couple sweatshirts in size large figuring they would fit eventually. After washing them, I tried them on and they fit now! I was thrilled! Of course, it it still a bit too warm to wear them, but I will be wearing them soon enough.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
