Those are some great NSV's! Don't you just love the ones that are unexpected? :-)

I had two victories this week. Yesterday I wore a pair of jeans that did not have an elastic waist. Today, I got out my fanny pack that I had not used for two weeks, and had to shorten the belt 2" to keep it from falling off my hips.

People post here daily expressing disappointment that they haven't seen the big numbers they see other posting. 7 lbs is a good weight loss. You should be proud of that. As mentioned everyone loses at their own pace. The less you have to lose, the harder it may be. Follow your program, get in your protein and fluids. Exercise as much as you safely can. The weight loss will happen. I promise you. In the meantime, step away from the scale. Don't weigh yourself more than once a week. Even then do it at the same time of the day on the same day of the week. Take your measurements and look for other NSV. At 17 days post-op it's too early to tell how fast/slow your weight loss will be.

I took 2 bites of a chicken quesadilla sitting in a padded booth (ok NSV. Can fit into booth at a diner) which I KNOW is tempting fate and what do you know... I get stuck. Which I knew was a big possibility and I still ate it. Which explains why I'm fat. I knew something was bad for me and I still ate it. I guess it's a learning curve. Spent 35 minutes getting it up. Also how long after getting stuck does it usually take people to get it up? For me it takes up to 40 minutes. Ugh!

I haven't posted in a while and I kind of regret it because you all keep me on the right track. I have my lap top at work now so I can stay logged in! I haven't been doing terrible but I haven't been as good as I could. I have had some cocktails (not a lot at a time because I get drunk FAST now) and I have been eating more chips than I need. But I also get an average of 90g of Protein in a day and stay within my allowed calorie range (max 1100 but i average 900-1000 a day). So far I have lost about 45 lbs from my pre-op weight BUT I have stalled like crazy and I have gone down 2 sizes which makes it a little better. NSV: My birthday was this past sunday and I spent it at a banquet celebrating my pastor's 25 anniversary with the church. I wore a satin pencil skirt that I purchased about 3 years ago and was never able to wear. It was so big that as I walked down the hall of the hotel, it turned COMPLETELY around. The split was in the front and if not for my hips it would have been in the floor!!! LOL!!! So this is my progress so far and I plan to pick up n my exercise this week. One question that I have: does taking Vitamins help with weight loss or stalls?? That's probably the one thing I have been really bad at....I haven't really taken any since surgery (mostly because I didn't have the money to get them but I will get them monday when I go to the doctor)

I was diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic in May of 2007- when I was 23 years old. I've struggled with having good numbers, taking 2000 mg of metformin a day I. Addition to glimiperide and I also tried invokana. I had my sleeve done on March 4th of this year. I have not taken any diabetes medication since the second week after my surgery. This morning my fasting blood sugar was 79! I have not seen numbers that low, even with medication ever! Needed to share with someone!

Today the UPS guy left a package at my door. As I went out to get it, I yelled a thank you to him as he walked down my driveway. He stopped and asked "Are you the lady that has lived here for years now?' Yes I am. To which he totally freaked out "WOW you look so different I didn't even recognize you I had to ask I thought I left the package at the wrong house. Whatever you did congrats" After thanking him, I walked back in the house laughing. I'm now used to people I know commenting on my appearance, but I never expected it from the UPS guy, a relative stranger. What a surprising NSV.

I am not losing weight. I had surgery 1/26 at 265. As of 4/15, I am 248. I feel so depressed and I am SO disappointed. Yes. I am having NSVs. But I am also still really fat and this tool doesn't seem to be working. When I go back to my surgeon, I am considering revision to bypass. Please any advice is welcome. I feel miserable.

I just donated over half of my clothes which no longer fit me. At the top of my closet were a few straggler pants etc. I took them out today and found a brand new pair of Lands End shorts. I have not worn shorts in about 7 years. I put them on and not only did they fit and a little loose but I didn't look totally horrid in them. I am so happy to be back in shorts even if I don't look like JLo.

As embarrassing as this is to admit I have to say the biggest NSV for me thus far is not having bathroom complications anymore. It is so much easier to get in and get out now.

Awesome! An ex small? I can't imagine. I've tried to figure out what NSV means??? -
I found a cute white denim skirt and tried on the size small. It was too big. maybe it was mis-sized, but I'm taking it as an NSV anyway. A year ago I could not have squeezed into it at all.
-
Good job! I paid $50 for a Nike jacket a couple months ago because it was the first time I had ever fit into an extra small. I was also not thrilled with the price, but when you have great NSV's like you posted about, it's ok to splurge a little!
