I've noticed after only one month, that my face appears thinner and my double chin is going away. Yay me!

What was your very first NSV that you can remember? I can't wait to have one.

I was able to ride in a 4D roller coaster simulator ride with my son and the 5 pt harness fit with room to spare! That was right before my surgery but I had lost 50 lbs. Then after surgery, being able to cross my legs.

I'm still pre-surgery but I bought a pair of jeans right before I started this journey on May 11. I put them on this morning and they almost fell off. I'm down 16 pounds, I took them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. I'm starting to go through my closet to see what I haven't worn in a while that might fit now! :)

Sounds great! I lost about 40 before my surgery which was last week. I've already started a very large pile of clothes that are too big. Trying to decide between donating and going to a consignment store so I could at least get a few dollars back. And I'm checking out smaller sizes at Goodwill to get me through the next months when everything will be changing quite a bit. I love this idea for a topic NSV!

Hey peeps...

Just wanted to share my NSV for today..

I went shopping today and saw this pretty top.. there was only one size left, i picked it up and looked at it and thought what a shame its too small... i walked around a little more and picked it up again.. and then thought why not, ill try it on anyway since i was going to the change room anyway to try on other tops.

On the way to the change room i was trying to justify to myself to buy it and that maybe one day i would be able to fit into it.. in a few months..

So i get to the change rooms and put it on and guess what! It was way to big... so big in fact that it looked horrible!

So yay to me!.. this sleeve of mine is finally working!

Now my brain just needs to catch up with my body

Two that I never get tired of:

1. The way all 36" waist pants just fit (some a little loose). When I wore 44" pants, I'd have to try on a dozen different brands to find one that fit (no, 46's didn't fit well either). Now all just fit!

2. When I eat out I order anything I want knowing my sleeve won't let me eat more than 8 ounces. My favorite is fish and chips. I eat about 6 ounces of fish and 2 ounces of chips - then I'm done and I start passing food to everyone else.

So sweet!

Wow! I'm also 3 weeks yesterday and I haven't worn many pants bc the band hurts my incisions. The ones I did wear I'm in the same size

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
