I'm 2 and a half weeks post op. About 5 months ago, at 335 lbs I realized that my scrubs were busting at the seams and bought new ones; 5x top, 3x pants.

Yesterday I realized I was swimming in my scrubs.

Today I broke out the ones that were busting at the seams... and at 276.6, my 3x top and XL pants fit perfectly .. I'm going to take them in at least once before I go shopping for new scrubs.

Because never in the last 5 years have I been more than 30 lbs smaller than I am now.. so I don't own any smaller scrubs.

NSV = Non scale Victory

For the weeks when the scale hardly moves; an extra mile or a faster mile or an extra 10 minutes on a workout... or smaller clothes..

Thank you very much!

Way to go on your success this far! A helpful hint or suggestion on the scrubs.... Unless you are loaded with $ have you thought of checking the goodwill or consignment shops? You could maybe sell your old ones and get slightly used ones until your at your goal. This was the best tip brought up in the support group meeting is to hit consignment shops up for clothes while your in transition until your at goal. Often times you can find perfectly good clothes. The scrubs section at out local goodwill ship is huge! All kinds color or size! :) happy scrubbing

Thank you for the suggestion. The scrub section at our local good will is not so great, and I'm kind of a scrub snob... that said, instead of my usual 7 sets of scrubs (so I only have to do laundry once a week)... I will probably just stick to 2 sets while I'm shrinking, one to wash - one to wear... and thankfully the ones I wear have enough stretch that I should be able to skip a size in between buying.

Cherokee flexibles tops, core stretch pants if anyone is looking for *amazing* scrubs.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
