Cinnahs 6 Posted June 26, 2017 I stood and walked for three and half hours straight last week without sitting once. The old me would have needed to sit down within ten minutes. I have much more energy and stamina as of late. I am nearly seven moths post op.Oh, I also went from a size 26 to a size 20. I am getting there slowly but surely.Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using BariatricPal mobile app 6 bostonmama, njgal, jhope71 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crocodoxie 223 Posted September 5, 2017 Will be so worth it! Hang in there. I was bummed, because so many get off it before leaving the hospital. It took me an extra couple weeks, but I got there. 1 zallykatz16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SGirl35 165 Posted October 18, 2017 I hope your surgery went well [mention=326845]SGirl35[/mention]. MY NSV is being able to cut my toe nails with out pain. P. S. what does NSV actually stand for?Hi there! My surgery went great! I’m down 26lbs my third week post op. I still do feel sick at times and am learning how to eat and drink slowly. I can’t keep too much down though. My NSV would be ; no more back pain, and I can’t leave out that my feet don’t hurt anymore! I had the worst throbbing foot pain in both my feet and now I can walk and run errands without being miserable. Congrats on your toe nail victory. I hadn’t tried! I just leaned over and saw that Wow I can! However it does hurt my tummy to do much since my incisions are still healing. 1 zallykatz16 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
