NSV shout outs

[SouthernSleever 228]

Went shopping yesterday for festival clothes. I kept trying on size 5/6 pants and none fit right. About the 8th pair I decided to try on 3/4 and with just a little sucking in they were on. Big difference from 22/24 to 3/4. I still put my clothes in my 7 year old's drawer not realizing that they aren't his clothes.

I had bought 20/22 pants a few weeks ago at marshalls thinking I would eventually fit into them. today was eventually, in fact 2 of the 3 pairs were getting big. I am less than 2 months post op. loving it. Also put a pic of me last summer next to one from this week and it was like night and day. never realized how big I was until you compare. It is wonderful. BTW i started at 26/28 in january.

I'm so excited!!! As of my weekly weigh-in this morning, I am OFFICIALLY under 200lbs! Whoo Hoo! That sure has been alot of years in coming!

I have lost 58lbs so far. I was carrying around my all leather western saddle this past weekend, it weights 45lbs, and I was thinking how I can't imagine carrying that thing around all day! But I've lost that plus another 13lbs... it would be like carrying around my saddle with my cat in it! (Stupid cat!)

I'm also now able to wear shorts that I haven't fit into since college! They looked better back then, but that was over ten years ago!!!

I'm loving this sleeved life!!! Pictures below!

Went shopping with my daughter and she begged me to try on a shirt from the regular ladies section. I kept telling her it wouldn't fit and she just kept asking so finally I tried it on and low and behold it fit!!!! So I bought 2!

When I went in for my last check up with my surgeon he asked me if he could use me on his web site to tell my story. I told him when I lose another 20 pounds since I wasn't done yet. And I've lost 5 more since that appointment. Best NSV for me to date!

I love hearing all of these success stories!

So excited--I have my first NSV!!! Today is 22 days since my sleeve and at my Dr. visit this week he gave me the "OK" to start exercising moderately--he recommend I start with 10-15 minutes of brisk walking 4-5 days a week and gradually build up the duration. Well, today after lunch I decided to take a cruise around my office building and one of my coworkers (I have been very open about my WSL so he was aware) was crossing the hall and backed up and said "Dang! I can definately see some weight loss but I don't ever remember seeing you move so fast! You must really be feeling great, huh????" He then walked with me chatting for a few minutes and dropped off saying, "Sorry, I can't keep up with you at this pace." Woo Hooo!!!!! Goooooo ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Musharooni....love those things....I just got back from my daily workout (have been consistent for 2 full months....first time in MY LIFE!!!). I ran/fast walked 3 miles in 41M 30s which makes a 13.7 minute mile! AND I ran for 1.25 miles straight! I thought I felt a little critter crawling down my back....turns out it was sweat! A new sensation for me for sure......

I just squeezed into a US Size 6... HOLY CRAP I AM WEARING A SIZE 6.

It's a bit on the tight side, but I'm not complaining. A year ago I doubt I'd be able to get a size six past my knees

WTG... I loved your post and I can really relate to it.

My latest NSV is the most memorable of my life. For the first time I can ever recall, I am no longer considered "obese." My BMI just went below 30.0 so I am now (temporarily) just "overweight." The Love-Hate Meter on my sleeve just went a couple of notches upward towards the Love side.

Wow--running!!!!!!! Can't wait until a healthy me is running! I probably be like Forrest Gump and just run forever!!!

Another NSV for me today! My "new" old bathing suit was falling off me last night at the pool, so I had to get one that wouldn't be x-rated for tonight's swim time. Went into the shop and the salesgirl (who happens to be a cousin) kept saying that the ones I was looking at were too big. To humor her, I picked up the size I thought I wanted and the size she thought would fit. She was right! I'm now, officially, in a 16, not a 16w, etc, but an honest to goodness 16! I am so excited. I was 23 the last time I could wear this size!!!

WTG Lissa - what a great NSV!! Keep it up.

I have a full coverage bra in a 36DD and it fully covers, no quadra boob or bubbling! And the band could definitely be more snug, I have a few bras in 34, but I started this journey in an overflowing uncomfortable 44G and I'm wondering if after all is said and done and maybe some plastics, if I might get as small as a 34C!

I thought this may be silly but it's my first NSV... I was looking down at some cabling on the floor and then noticed my ankles... i have ankles now and not huge swollen ankles. They are so small and normal now.. . silly thing i know but for awhile they had been so puffy and swollen looking months before surgery. Also i can't remember when the last time i was excited to get on the scale and see what's happened in a week.. I get to weigh myself tomorrow yay!!
