My weight has been stabile for two month at 130. But I have dropped from an 8 petite to a 6 petite and even bought a 2/4 petite in a dress. So while weight wise I haven't dropped, size wise I have that is an NV righr? :)

Yes!

I sat in my patio chair out front and the side bars weren't digging into my legs!!! VICTORY!!

The scale this morning had a new middle number, but since this is the NSV thread...

Was putting on jeans for a date Saturday night... The pair I pulled on looked saggy in the butt and they were the only pair I've been wearing lately that fit at all any more. I saw a pair laying folded on the closet floor (yeah, my closet is like that), grabbed them, pulled them on and they fit (without cutting me in half even). Two months ago I was in a 16. I looked at the pair I had tried on and they were a 14. Went in the bathroom (where there was light) and checked the tag and the pair I had on were a 12!!!!

I'm in a FREAKIN' SIZE 12 JEAN!!! So, I promptly went to the mall, into Express and tried on this really cute lacy top that maxed out in a size large (no XL's in that store) and the size LARGE fit!!!

Tell me I wasn't feeling like a rock star on that date (only the second with this guy). :)

you go girl life is fun and enjoy all the perks of losing!

Congrats, Ginger Snaps - that's a great NSV.

I was at a conference at our local university last weekend - it was spread out all over the campus and I could walk between the buildings with no problems. Also fit into those little chairs with the fold down desk in the lecture halls :)

So proud of everybody on here! Can't wait to post my own NSVs.

DANCE PARTY Celebrate YOURSELVES

This music video should be the official post-wls anthem. "Bring your Water bottle."

My husband told me today that when he was hugging me this morning that he finally realized how small I had become.

So apparently my butt and belly have decided I'm serious this time... 2 weeks ago, size 14 jeans, last week, size 12, today, size 10.... I haven't worn a size 10 since college (3 kids and 20+ years ago)!

Have I mentioned how happy and confident this surgery has made me??? :)

Today I used the large adult blood pressure cuff instead of the xxl thigh cuff!!!

Size 7 pants. Started at a size 22. Wow

Helped a friend move last night, walked about 5 miles this morning for the opening of a local rail to trail, and the helped my dad move this afternoon. I'm tired and sore, but I seriously can't imagine being able to do this much 6 months ago.

Sat in a booth at resteraunt with no problem. Can cross my legs now yay! My charm bracelet is starting to be too big and i will have to have links taken out of it soon. Im early out of surgery 5 weeks so ive only had a few Nsv's. Cannot wait for more!! :)

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