Jan. 14th:

My biggest NSVs so far are both related to travel and lifestyle. I am a minimalist and a backpacker.

When traveling prior to this journey I always had to bring my own towel which was a bath sheet (the biggest one). This took up so much valuable backpack real estate it was a crying shame.

I also had to travel with way too many spare bras (44H) just in case something happened while away, knowing I would not find my size easily or cheaply.

Now regular towels wrap around/close just fine and I can rest assured that anywhere in the world will likely carry my new and common bra size (38D/DD)

GRATEFUL BEYOND THE scale

#14 My biggest NSV so far. Last Saturday, I discovered I can pass the Army PT running requirement.

A group of military recruits were being timed on the same track I was running on. It was an adrenaline rush to see if I could keep up with them. (The average age 17 to 31) I kept up with the person in the lead. I was still on the track running after all the recruits completed two miles.

Not bad for an old woman who used to be morbidly obese.

I did my first bodyfit class at Gold's this morning. My legs are noodles, but felt so good to start working out again.

I'm a natural carb lover, so I'm having to find some high Protein foods that I actually enjoy. These are big parts of how I'm trying to get to my protein goal everyday.

#14 - Biggest NSV so far

I'm going to change this to my biggest NSV this month .... hiking without feeling anxious I would be out of breath, sweaty, overly exhausted, and generally just feel embarrassed about my weight. That was a huge reason I avoided physical activity, I felt humiliated I was so out of shape.

Biggest NSV so far: happened today peeps. My MIL had given me a gift card for a place that sells nice clothes and household stuff. I thought I'd check out their bed linen but found myself in the clothing part. I haven't been into this store for ages so I nearly fell over myself when I found a few items I thought might fit me. Well! Not only was I spoiled for choice (zomg, I don't just have to buy the one plus size item available) but I found a gorgeous blue top that I thought I could even go DOWN a size! I'm genuinely shopping for clothes like regular people!

Day 14 - Biggest Non scale victory this far?

Running again. I use to run 5Ks hike multiple times a week, and snowboard and kayak. So to be able to go run, and kayak makes my heart happy and the surgery so worth it! The fact that I'm looking forward to kayaking in Hawaii in March, and spelunking, that I signed up for 5 5ks/fun runs for the summer without fear. Those are the best NSV I could ask for!

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
