Non Scale Victories



Recommended Posts

I'm actually asking people to take pics of me, instead of running from the camera. My excuse is I need to update my dating profile pics. That's true, but I also like the validation that I look as good as I feel. (yes, I'm vain! :P)

@sillykitty So, that's what 25 pounds to goal looks like - Yowza!

I might lower my goal weight ... I have more than 25 lbs of fat I want to lose under those clothes! :P

Still trying to get used to wanting to have my picture taken myself. Also, being vain.

I have been trying to get back in to running lately and I realized today that my thighs don't rub together anymore when I run. Crazy, right? I've always had meaty thighs, even at my lower weight which I'm at now, so I guess that (hopefully) means I'm more fit now than I was as my younger self when I never exercised!

I'm almost 3 months out, and I've had a few NSV the past few weeks.

I took a 40-minute run and didn't want to die. I actually felt like I could have kept going.

I learned how to swim after 19 years because I finally felt confident enough to go to the pool.

My (very thin) best friend asked if I wanted to have some of her clothes because she's moving and needs to cut down on her closet. Everything I tried on fit me!

I had to buy size medium shorts! (I was wearing 3x at the beginning of this journey).

I'm very happy!

I got to put my wedding ring back on--it fit! My husband put that on my finger when I was 19 years old and we had a whole life in front of us. We will have our 25th next year in June!

I can now wear rings on my thumbs if I want, my fingers have de-puffed. So why complain? The rest of my body is lagging behind! Having fingers now like twigs is very nice, but I still have a rump wide enough to show drive-in movies. I kinda envy the girls with noassatall disease, nobody come,up and pinches them.
What I think I look like🙋
What they seem to think 🐷

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
