My body is changing . I am currently down total 21.8 pounds from surgery date of dec 5( 44 lbs from pre op weight of 242 lbs). I feel my body changing daily. scale isn't moving as fast as I would like but I am losing inches everywhere. New years I noticed my face looked different , even since surgery it has gotten a little more defined and smaller. I was like yayyyy, NSV. I have another great NSV. I bought an outfit from The Gap n baby I haven't been able to wear anything from there in like 16 years. I bought a large sweatshirt and size 14 pants ( I used to be a death grip 16 ????????) and the 14 had room and were baggy in waist as well as sweatshirt was very roomy... omg that was a victory for me.

Feels amazing, right @@Dknal2? Could you post a before pic, too?

I saw a flash of my clavicles today - I wasn't sure if I even had them!

Forgive my ignorance, but what the neck does NSV stand for?

Yes ma'am I'm going to look for a before right now and NSV stands for non scale victory. Meaning there are other ways to feel victorious in this journey besides what the scale reads.

Hi Gucci... but nothing major for my bday. Hubby wants to go out for dinner and I'm fretting that because I'm still doing very select food choices. My sleeve is picky. So I'm not sure if I wanna go to a restaurant. I may go to the casino, lol and hopefully win some money.

Aww you are making me blush!!!! My son told me today that I look so much younger and that I am beautiful. That was so special to me. He always compliments me even at my heaviest. But he was with me for my surgery and drove 9 hours bk to Alabama from Tx. He is a true blessing. People don't believe me when I tell them I have a son that will be 21 this year, lol.

Beautiful! Congratulations!

I feel thinner every day. Down from a tight 3x to a loose 2x and some well fitting 1x.. I have to remind myself sometimes that I am actually still quite fat!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
