NSV's are what keep me motivated!



Recommended Posts

I have been trying to revel in these as sometimes the scale may not budge and I want to keep encouraging myself. My NSV this week was having to buy new jeans because I shrank out of all my old ones, and having to get rid of my old dress shirts. I went from a 3/4x to an xl now and 22/24 to 16/17 pants. As a reward this Sunday I'm going to an amusement park with some friends. this will be the first time in years that I have gone and not been afraid of fitting on the rides. What's your NSV's? Please share your successes!

Btw here's my most recent update pics :)

Any time! It helps me keep on track when I see others progress too. And sometimes it's hard to know where I should be since I only know one other person who had the surgery. Just remember to Celebrate the small stuff! And to take it day by day. You'll do great!

Looking good! NSV for me..... buckling the airplane seat belt and even pulling it a bit to tighten it up. That was one of the things I used to dread about traveling for work. Especially if I was traveling with coworkers. Asking for an extender and seeing the look on the persons face that sat next to me.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
