Hey guys,

I had gastric bypass surgery on June 20, 2016. Even though the road has not always been easy, I am so grateful to my surgeon and my family for being there for me when I decided to change my life. I lost 61 pounds so far and am 49 pounds away from my goal weight. However, I want to shine a light on some non scale victories that motivated me to keep going.

• I went from a size 1X-XL to a size L and am super close to being a size M.
• My skin is clearing up (I barely get acne and the dark spots are fading).
• I feel more confident, more healthy, more energetic, and most importantly, happier.

What are your NSVs?

I had my sleeve on 6/17/16.

I can walk up 4 floors of stairs without stopping.

I go to crossfit twice a week.

I dont have to think twice before getting into a booth at a restaurant, or seat at theater, etc.

I went from very tight 46 waist pants to a loose 40. Just bought a pair of 38 jeans that fit perfectly.

I can do 45 squats.

I can hang from a bar and pull my knees up to waist height.

28 pounds from goal.

My surgery was 8/3/16 and my favorite NSVs have been:

1. moving my seat up in the car - yes!!!

2. People noticing the cute dresses I own instead of my lumps and bulges

3. Energy!!!
