I was sleeved on 9/30/15 at my highest weight of 205. As of yesterday I've lost 50 lbs and am down to 153.8. I still have 27 pounds to go to reach my goal and I'm hoping I get there by my one year surgiversary. Even as a kid I remember being too self conscious to wear shorts. I ventured into the juniors department at Belk today and tried on these pink scallop shorts. I'm still not 100 % comfortable in them but I'm hoping I will be by summertime :) Sometimes the number on the scale doesn't move and sometimes it's so easy to get discouraged. Celebrating non-scale victories helps me keep everything in perspective. What are YOUR favorite NSVs?

Nothing wrong with those legs. :D

The cab of my car seems to be miraculously growing.

You look great. I wish I looked like that, the skin hangs so far down it's gross, but very grateful for my sleeve and my 90lb weight loss. My biggest nsv, i think is fitting into booths that I could not fit into last year.

I've noticed my skin getting kind of loose on my legs and arms. I think I'm just not far enough along yet for it to be as bad as it could be. I try not to worry about it too much even though it does get to me sometimes. Your NSV is a great one! Congrats on 90 lbs gone :)

I'm hoping that once the loose skin becomes an issue for me, that I'll be able to twirl around reaaaaaaaly fast and take off like a helicopter.

If nothing else it's an excuse to go out in a field, act silly, and giggle at myself because my brain is about 5.

You look fabulous! We both have similar starting weights (mine was 210) and I am Slightly annoyed that I have lost about 22lbs and still no change in pants size. They are loose but still not enough to go down to the next size. Must be losing in my fingers and toes :)

I think I lost 30 lbs before I dropped a pants size. So frustrating!

You guys both look great in shorts. I've always worn shorts because my legs were thin, just not my tummy. I've been out looking for new shorts in my size and it is fun trying them on and looking in the mirror. I wish I could say the same about bathing suits but with a flat butt they don't look so good. I don't think all the squats in the world could ever give me a normal butt.

Rock those shorts this summer, I'm sure you will get lots of compliments.

      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!!

      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! 😞
