AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted April 9, 2013 I just had a rant and I want to counter it with some positivity. I know a lot of ppl were sleeved fairly recently and I've seen a lot of new "stalls" threads pop up. I'm avoiding my scale so I'd like to focus on some NSV's to help boost morale. Previously tight clothes are now comfy. Some pants that didn't fit now fit snugly. Bittersweet: bras fitting better around, but alas, looser in the cup. Saw my dad on Easter and then a week later and he was impressed with the "obvious" weight loss in a week. Hubby says clothes fitting me different and he loves "the girls" even tho they're shrinking. 5 KatInFL, Ballermom, BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm avoiding the scale and trying to keep weighing in to once a week. Since I'm less than two weeks post-op, my most recent thrill was being able to comfortably sleep on my tummy again. ~Kat 1 AmandaRaeLeo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pepper Paul 143 Posted April 9, 2013 I'm with wlq. We took a trip to Arizona for spring break and for the first time in years I didn't need to get a seat belt extender for the plane. I made sure to point it out to my family! 1 AmandaRaeLeo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted April 14, 2013 The pants that I took for travel to Mx preop were previously snug. Now they are loose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted April 17, 2013 Idk if this is a NSV or a reason for shame/embarrassment but I've since discovered spots on my legs that have not seen a razor in some time... 1 spotg1rl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsPiggleWiggle 65 Posted April 17, 2013 Yes! Great thread!!!! I'm only a week out, and things are still fitting very snug around my tummy from gas/swelling, but my shirts & dresses are huge on me! Looking forward to wearing clothes I've not been able to for years! 1 AmandaRaeLeo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
