Today I had an unexpected and surprisingly satisfying NSV. I noticed that my belly button shrank. It's about 50% shallower than it used to be! Who knew I would be so pleased about less depth to my belly button? ?

I ordered clothes, dresses, jackets etc in a size too small as inspiration to lose more & IT ALL FIT. I can't believe I'm now a medium!

Two new NSV’s: most of my necklaces I have always needed an extender for, but this week I was able to wear one of my favorites without an extender.

When I went for a drs appt, my doctor proudly stated… I’m soon going to need the regular blood-pressure cuff for you!

Progress has been slow… slower than I’d like, but things seem to be moving in the right direction still.

The husband was happy to see me at the airport, hugged me and was able to lift me.

I was still worried he was going to hurt himself and I could not really enjoy the moment until after, when he said he missed doing that.

100# after.

That is awesome. I started doing that also and it always feels great when the clothes fit. I bought new pants from my favorite brand in size 32 inches for my one year surgery-versary but I don't think I will be able to go down to that size in time. Too ambitious maybe lol. I'm now wearing size 34-36 depending on the cutting (down from size 54'').

I got this update earlier today and I couldn't be happier. Today marks my 1 year surgery anniversary

I just got ID’d to enter a restaurant that becomes a bar late at night. I told the security guy he must be new since I’m there 3x/week. He said no. He took a look at my ID and still marked my hand as underage.

I’m 34 years old!!! Apparently I look younger now haha ? ??

Is it just me or does that sound like one of those when we first met stories that people tell their grandchildren one day.

Not A victory but a weird observation, I have noticed I have less earwax!?! weird I know but yeah.

This isn’t a NSV, but everyone reading this thread HOPEFULLY can give me some insight. I am 18 months PO. I have lost 156 lbs. (total) BUT, WHY do I bite the inside of my mouth when I chew sometimes! Is it the weight lost in the face, sagging to allow me to ‘bite it easier’ now?

Me Too!! and my front teeth now "rub" on the inside of my bottom lip

NSV so far this year: I wore my boots first time since early November and they fit big, I'm finally out of the morbidly obese classification and I fit into a size 14 jeans that I have not worn in over 4 years.

I thought of another… The elevator at work used to jump up an inch to accommodate my weight when I stepped on. No more. ?

I have to admit fitting into a size 14 that I haven't been able to wear since the 90's was quite thrilling and shocking. I am surprised that I keep getting surprised. They were cute too and in the clearance aisle at Target.

I have officially ran through all my smaller sized jeans n the back of my closet and have to go shopping. ?
