NSV- Everything is so much easier to do now. Couple flight of stairs, no problem. Tying my shoes without needing to sit down. Crossing my legs! College students are oblivious, usually, so they stand in the middle of hallways and stairwells... I don't feel like a fat cow squeezing between THIER inconsiderate hides now!

Oh, and boys talk to me more, hehe.

That is awesome, dispatch! :smile:

Keep those NSVs coming! This is the time of year when we can really use them... especially if you saw the scale creep up a little like I did over the holidays. Forget about the number and focus on the other things -- like how far you've come, how great you look, how good you feel, how healthy you are, and maybe even how you can cross your legs now! :biggrin:

My latest NSV is that my DH got me a pair of high-heel knee-high boots for Christmas, which I wore with a minidress to a party this past weekend. I never would have been able to wear that before! :lol:

I haven't posted any NSV before. I can get out of a chair , off the couch,out of a low car without a struggle. Often without a thought. Before it was a definite struggle and at times did not know if I would make it.

Thanks Spidey Mom for the kind words. I know you was turning some heads in your high heel boots & the mini dress. Plus I know you felt like a million buck. I know I would have. You keep up the good work and knock them dead. Hope you all have a Happy New Year & less pounds next year.

Thanks for the positive thoughts Ann. I am up a little, and getting down on myself for not losing fast enough.

On the good side, I am wearing a size 14 today, WOO HOO!!!

I have several huge containers of clothing I will go through this weekend. All are size 12 and 14. COOL.

Oh yes, I will be dropping off 4 huge bags of clothing at the local thrift shop tonight. All Woman's size. I am only 5'1" it is so hard to find short Woman's sizes. Thank goodness I am back in the petite section.

By the way Ann. Good for you on the style of clothing, and boots. Go strutt your stuff. ha ha

Hee hee... thanks for the compliments. It did feel good wearing something sexy for once. :blink: Darn... I should have had dh take a picture. lol Next time. :sad:

Bmooney, fantastic! I know you must be feeling great! :):wink5:

Rebecca, congrats on size 14! And, just like you, I am taking bags and bags of clothes to the thrift store tomorrow (want to get them in for a tax deduction before the end of the year). Funny thing is, 75% of them I bought from the same thrift store! :w00t: Since I started losing weight, I hate buying things full price, and we have a fab thrift store near us that has really nice clothes.

Keep those NSVs coming! I love to hear them! :tongue2:

Got back to a size 40 band bra. Pants I have gone from a 24 to an 18! I bought a new jacket today, it was in the misses section size XL not 1X! Went to Avenue this weekend and tried on tops, 18/20 was too big! Actually bought a couple tops in size 14/16.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
