weight loss after surgery
LilMissDiva Irene replied to ladiebashful's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would never be considered a quick loser, but seeing as this is a LIFE LONG change, I'm totally ok with that. Try not to compare yourself to others, and DEFINITELY don't sell yourself short!! You CAN ALWAYS do so much more than you ever dreamed possible!!! I'm living proof of that. Celebrate your losses and be proud of your journey. Take photos of yourself, before an durings, keep measurements, keep logs of all your NSV's... these will brighten your day when the scale is being a poopy butt. Good luck!!! -
I now weigh less than my husband, and, for the first time ever, I wore his T-shirt to sleep in!!!! Yay!!! I am so excited! I not only wore it, but is was loose :) :)

So before my surgery, I bought a pair of size 12 leather pants at a yard sale. I was still wearing size 18-20 but I loved the pants and hoped after surgery I could get them on. Last weekend I was going thru my older larger clothes (to give away!!!) and trying on smaller stuff and discovered that I wear a size 12! I ran to my closet and got out those soft beautiful size 12 leather pants...I flung off my newly fitting size 12 jeans and slipped easily and comfortably into the leather pants! I was so thrilled!!!! YIPPEE!! Living the dream!, Laura

Narcissistic, Attention ***** or Justified?
Paul11011 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am beyond thankful for the success that I've experienced thus far and praise God for this opportunity to have a longer healthier life. The dilemma I have recently discovered is I've begun to question myself about the amount of enjoyment I get in talking about my WLS journey. I have always enjoyed sharing my story with others for a number of reasons. The most predominate reason though is that I have found so much encouragement form others as I was looking into and beginning my journey and I hope to be able to provide that encouragement to others. I really love sharing the adventure with others. With weight as the topic I feel I have been to the near extremes, I was never on a public service special but I had gotten to the point where some of the basic life functions where cumbersome to say the least. Maybe the depth of sadness I felt at those times in my life are now being counterbalanced by the happiness I now feel. I've had better than average success with this WLS surgery and I feel like I'm in the best possible position moving forward with the rest of my life. I'm still seeing scale and NSV regularly and feel badly that others have struggled where I have not. So my question is this justified, is it ok to still be so happy and excited. Am I providing any value by continuing to tell my story or am I an attention ***** destined to turn into a daffodil? -

Awesome that you're getting the attention you deserve for your success. Now the package that the attention came in....well I'll leave that up to your interpretation. Congratulations on a huge NSV! -

Buckeye Girl replied to Julie76's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats on the story! When I get a compliment on my looks, I feel like it's a pity compliment or like what they really want to say is, you're really pretty for a fat girl. It will be interesting to see if my thoughts change after my surgery. I feel really stupid but can someone tell me what NSV stands for? -
The End of Summer Challenge

Kelly sorry to hear about your mom. Don't forget to take care of yourself! Joan praying the band slippage corrects itself. I am 215 today, down 2.25. Had a fill on Thursday. I also had a NSV today that means a lot to me. Acouple of years ago family and I were swimming in a lake. Everyone swam to a floating dock and got out. I couldn't pull myself up the ladder. I had to swim to the shore. I was so humiliated. A little biy ago I climbed out of the pool at the YMCA using the ladder! Yay me! -

I went to my surgery support group that we have every other week with some ladies from my Options class. When my friend opened the door she looked at me and said "oh my gosh, where's the rest of you?!" Totally made my day!

So I started bartending again on day shift so I don't have to stock or mop when I leave cause we do that at night....anyway.... Football season is upon us and we have new people coming in to watch the games. We weren't that busy and my Dad had stop by to see me and play some pool with me. While I was playing pool with him a guy walked over to me and stood next to me for about 5 mins. I asked him how he was doing and he said "Great now!" all excited. I said "So your having a really good day then?" He said "I am now!" I just kinda looked at him and he said "Cause you are F**king gorgeous!" I was extremely taken back by that. Caught me off guard and I even quit playing pool. Didn't really know how to handle it.lol I talked to my dad about it and he told me to get use to it cause it was going to happen more and more. After I thought about it, I came to realize that along with the healthy benefits of this surgery came some other benefits. I'm happy I look better but I can't explain how much better I feel! It did make me feel good that someone said that too me but I was always know as the "Pretty faced" bartender. Looks like all that's changing now.

I have been avoiding buying pjs since surgery. I have gone from a size 20 to a size 4-6 depending on brand. So obviously I really needed pjs but I always decided to buy shirts or dresses or even pants instead:) But last night I got 9 pairs of pjs for 50 bucks...they were worth more than $240.! I have never had such expensive pjs in my life! I am going to sleep great tonight:)
