As I posted before, my first NSV was my rings all fitting again. Now they are actually loose.

And I am down two full pant sizes (loose).

And every single shirt in my closet fits! I was down to just 3 nice shirts that I could squeeze into, so essentially my wardrobe has increased 10- fold!

And last week while filling out paperwork in the gastroenterologist's office, I realized I was crossing my legs and writing with the clipboard resting on my knee!

And I just ordered a seat shrinker adapter for my saddle because my butt is too small!

And I have to go to a Chili Cookoff fund raiser tonight (I'm on the board of the local animal shelter) and I get to wear my nice boots because they now slide over my chubby calves, and my very fancy, embossed leather Cripple Creek jacket that I can now zip up over my boobs!

Yeah!!

Clothing NSVs are so encouraging! I have a hard time seeing the changes in the mirror so smaller clothing is very tangible proof. I go to put my jeans on and think those will never fit, but they do! Amazes me every time.

I too had a couple of NSV's today, first I crossed my legs while sitting down today too -awesome feeling! Secondly, when I was at the gym on the vertical lat press(I think that's what it is) I could push the handles down past my thunder thighs!! So happy about that cuz before I had to stop at the top of my thighs :-)

She's the reason I had the surgery! No more having to haul my fat ass around the mountains for her. :)

I know you like horses..I do to although I have never owned one but always wanted to. You may think Im crazy (my family and friends think I am) but I LOVE the way a horse smells. I have stopped on the side of the road and got the horses come to me just so I could smell them. To me its the most relaxing and calming smell in the world...wish Scentsy made a horse smell.lol

I rest my head on my horses' shoulders and sniff all the time! And even though they don't have a horse smell, scentsy does make a "weathered leather" :)

Horses are the best aromatherapy on the planet! Lol being able to ride comfortably is one of my reasons for having the surgery! I'm only two and a half weeks out but I feel I am we'll on my way to being able to ride again...I can't wait!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
