My first NSV! Share yours as they happen!

Renee - they have ring guards that you can have put on a ring to temporarily change the size of it and it can be adjusted to keep making your ring work size-wise for you until you get to your goal and can have it sized and the permanent size settled. Good luck. I also have a couple loose rings and it feels great.

Hi!

Finally I have one to share. I put on my jeans on Monday. They are stretch jeans. But, when I put them on, they weren't the breath in and squish yourself until they zip!

YEAH!

Thanks for the info! I have never seen that before. Any idea where I can get those?

I went out to dinner tonight with my daughter and my best friend.......

I was sooooooooooooooooooooo proud of myself....

I didn't drink with my meal....huge deal for a diet coke guzzler like my *former* self....

I ordered a bowl of potato cheese Soup (I'm still on mushies).....ate a little less than half of it....ignored the giant slab of corn bread (Marie Callendars)....brought it home to hubby.....and still have leftover Soup for lunch tomorrow....

Had a GREAT visit with my two favorite women in the world........they both ate regular meals and as we were leaving my BF said..."Geez, now you make me feel like a pig...."

It feels good to know that I CAN DO THIS, I TRULY CAN!

I put the loungewear on that I wore to the hospital yesterday. Yup it was pretty snug the surgery day, today it was falling off me!

[hopeinapril 1]

Harley! You CAN absolutely do this. You just showed us you can. How fabulous that must feel!

Jen - How cool is that! I can't wait until something that used to be snug is falling off me! Congrats!

congrats, harley! "downgrading" from morbid to severe is one of my mini goals, too.

today's nsv: i started putting aside several big black sweaters and other winter clothes that are too loose. i figure (hope) that they'll be of no use to me by next winter. can't wait to drop them off at the goodwill/salvation army! in other news, i caught myself crossing my legs the other day. i haven't been able to do that comfortably in a year or two. yay me.

[HarleyGirl 1]

YEAH to crossed legs......that's one of the things I really look forward to as well.....still not completely comfortable for me, but I can do it!

I always feel like some sort of a lumberjack when I wear a dress because I can't cross my legs like a dainty lady!

Congrats Harley, Jen, Hungry, those are great NSV.

I had one today. My husband is a pretty big guy, but for the last few years I've weighed more than him...so when I would put his shirts on, they would be kinda snug. Well today I put one on and it fit be like a gown, it hung off my body and not snug to it.

Oh ya! I can kind of cross my legs too! My tight scrubs are now loose and comfy! I can't wait to get into my other scrubs that are too small. ss

I think about any jewelry store could do it, I know I've had jewelry work done at Jared's the Gallery of Jewelers and they are in lots of cities. I didn't want to just put a ring on a necklace but still enjoy wearing it as a ring but until I got this, I'd definitely put my wedding/engagement ring on a pendant chain.

This is a different kind of NSV -- I got out one of my pretty spring/summer dresses to wear to church this a.m. because I know I won't be able to wear this size again soon. I have been avoiding wearing dresses because I just didn't feel pretty due to my weight so I splurged yesterday and got a manicure and pedicure, got my nails done in a pretty hot pink and I'm stepping out in style this morning holding my head high. Hope everyone has a great Sunday!

That made me smile BIG!

I'll bet you look like a beautiful Spring day!

I saw my PCP yesterday and said I'm eating healthy and exercising much more than ever and asked if she didn't think I could give up the Cholesterol medicine and she said YES! let's take a baseline blood check today and I'll see you in three months. Yea!

P.S. Plus she is thrilled with my 25 lbs loss progress - I'm her first patient to ever have lap band surgery so she took alot of time to ask me questions to learn about the process and even made herself a note to go and do some research to get more up to speed on it. Yea!!!
