My Sleeves are Too Long!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeves on 12/16. Have lost a total of 30 lbs. so far (including 12 lbs. lost leading up to surgery) from 301 to 271 lbs. Other than my face looking a bit thinner, I haven't noticed any significant difference in the way I look yet (maybe because I'm very critical of myself). I haven't noticed a substantial difference in the fit of my clothes, other than every time I put on a shirt, the sleeves are too long! It's amusing me that this is the "big change" so far. (I'm assuming my arms aren't getting shorter-lol)

Sounds like a great NSV :)!

It took me quite a while to really see the weight loss... even though my friends could see it right away. I think I was at least 60 lbs down before I could really see a change.

I noticed the same thing when I started losing....it's not so much that your arms are getting shorter, it's more that since you're now smaller, your taking up less body material for your clothing, so the clothes sorta 'hang more' off of you. As SimplyChearvon says, it's really a great NSV!!

Wish you the best!!

Sleeves too long is still a NSV!

Congratulations on your loss.

It just struck me that this is one of the few places you will ever hear those words in the same sentence: "Congratulations on your loss". Most of the time it is: "So sorry for your loss".

As a dear friend often says: "but I digress".

I'm happy for your success. Wishing you continued NSV's and even more "losing" ;) .

I hope to NEVER find the weight I've lost :D

Blessings,

Kathleen

      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.
