Non Scale Victories



Recommended Posts

3 Future NSV I am hoping for:#1
sitting on a plastic chair and not have it make embarrassing sucky noises, also to have chairs with arms nor bite into my thighs. #2 Relatives letting me sit on their,good furniture instead of getting a sturdy wooden one from. the kitchen or their porch.#3 sitting and swinging on a porch swing. Last time I tried relative kept looking at the pitch ceiling to see if I bent the hooks out or snapped the chain. Many things have a 200 or 250 lb weight limit.
And when I achieve these things I will shout,it from the highest roof, right after I post on Bariatric Pal!🚩😛🚩

The scale is not my friend today (2 lbs, overnight, wtf??)

But I feel fantastic, and am loving how I look (in clothes, naked is a whole nother story!)

it is amazing the amount of Water we can store in our bodies. never use day to weight use at least weekly averages to even out the up and down of the water.

at 8 lbs per gallon water can really move the scale on a day to day basis.

Thanks, I know I've been on plan and not done anything different, it's just my body messing with me. Doesn't make it less frustrating though :angry:

@Orchids&Dragons At the rate my boobs are shrinking, I'll soon be a pear!

@AshAsh1 Thanks! But it's all a mess when it's not being held in by jeans!

This may sound dumb, but simply not having to hide in loose, black clothes. I actually feel comfortable wearing colors again!

You look fantastic! My boobs have shrank so much too. My daughter saw me changing and said “ummm, mom, I don’t want to be mean, but, ummm, are your boobs smaller?”

My sister, who's kinda a b*tch, says last time she saw me "OMG, you HAVE lost your boobs!" :angry:

Yet one more of those advantages that men have - as they lose fat, their "parts" appear larger, as women lose fat their boobs and booty shrivel!

I'm 46lbs down and the nicest surprise I've had so far was when I got into the car and my usually-wobbly-jelly-belly didn't touch the steering wheel! :):):D

I’m in Eastern Europe at the moment and eating while a little challenging I’m happily finding food I can eat. I hate the look on wait staff’s faces when I only eat some but I’m doing what I need to.

My other NSV is I voluntarily put myself on the 5th floor as opposed to 2nd in a place with no elevators. I’m not dead yet but oh man am I feeling it by floor 5. I can’t image doing that 60 lbs ago...

My husband, who is a totally awesome guy says my boobs look great and still are still big in proportion to me. He’s a liar and I love him. After nursing 2 kids for a year plus each and now losing almost 70 lbs, I have a pair of 38 longs.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
