I had surgery on 11/29 and I’m trying to not focus too much on the numbers on the scale or on my clothes.

My non scale victories since 11/29

Had to have a spacer put on my wedding ring

I’m wearing a coat I haven’t worn in 2 yrs

I got rid of my pre-surgery work uniforms

I’ve cleaned my closet twice already

What are your non scale victories?!

Going on vacation in a couple of weeks so having to buy some new casual clothes.

I can't wait to have some vacation photos with me in them that I don't hate!

Now I just need my stupid tummy to go away, while keep my butt & boobs, or what's left of them!

Your tummy is nearly gone! You look great!

Thanks!

But the jeans are doing a lot of working holding my tummy in

You know what you need? Jeans with a built in Spanx panel. I agree with Orchids and Dragons , the old Tum Tum is Almost Gone and you have a profile I hope to have SOMEDAY!???❤?

That's their job! You wouldn't want to put blue jeans on the unemployment rolls, would you?

Do you remember jeans before they included spandex?? Those are right up there with corsets!

And the verdompt Playtex Rubber Girdles my late Mama made me wear???

So the pants I bought a week before this two week trip were a smidge tight. This week I need a belt for one pair and the others aren’t far behind.

I also bought my first aspirational piece of clothing. It’s a good 2-3 sizes below where I’m at but I feel totally doable.

At least corsets gave you some boobs. Jeans just created muffin tops!

My scale numbers aren’t great but my NSV is pretty much all of the stamina I have now. I can take longer walks without being winded or tired. I no longer have knee or ankle pains. I just overall feel great

You look great! Enjoy clothes shopping, and take lots of pictures, you will be so glad you did!

That’s tremendous. Keep up the good work. I am only one month post op so hope in a few weeks I will score some NSVs as well

I shaved off my beard and saw the strangest thing in the mirror: My jawline
