Oh my goodness (OMG). I had a wonderful non-scale victory (NSV) this past week. I flew on an airline for the first time since surgery. Last flight was one year ago and I suffered mucho embarrassment when I required a seat belt extender for each leg of my flight. Once, I had to request it while sitting next to my tall, ex-model coworker whose eyes nearly popped out of her head when she realized that I could not buckle my seat belt without the extender. This flight I had seat belt room-to-spare on every plane and every different style belt. Yippee! This has been the best NSV yet. I feel like a "normal" person again. I hadn't even realized that I previously did not!

it comes in little bits and pieces... like when you realize the steering wheel isn't hitting your tummy anymore...or that you NEED to move the seat up now :)

movie seats are comfy again

you can cross your legs

so many little, wonderful, miracles that happen in our lives every day now that it doesn't matter what the scale says... we are just so HAPPY!!! :)

Congratulations!!!!!

Enjoy all of these NSV's. There are all important. I think we often get hung up on that number on the scale and we don't look at the other things!

When I flew in Nov. I was able to put the table down all the way in front of me too. The last time I flew I had to share my hubby's because I could not move it one inch! Same story with the extender...Room to spare and had hubby take pics of the table..I was so stoked..Wait you'll see what happens next............All good stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

      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! 😞
