Funny non-scale victory

[Jennifer Rogers 111]

So this morning is my 2 week surgiversary, and from beginning of two week pre op diet to today, I'm down 27 lbs total. (I had lost 10 pounds pre op and gained it all back in fluids during my hospital stay..took me 6 days to get that back off so dang it, I'm countin that in my weight loss!) Anyway, I was just in my kitchen making my 20 year old son sandwiches for his lunch and my cat jumped on the counter, as I shoved him off, my wedding rings went flying across the room in different directions, right off my finger! lol! I had just gotten them resized in June to fit my fat fingers! Guess I'll be putting them up for a bit till I get closer to goal! Then I'll get them sized for the new slimmer me!! Woohoo!

Well hello kitty! and thanks for the smile. I hope I get an encouraging NSV that soon. I am such an impatient person. Thanks for posting this.

Yep, loose rings happen. It's a great feeling, as long as you don't lose them. Hey Jennifer, since you're two weeks out now is the time to warn you about.... The Dreaded Week-3 Stall. It's perfectly normal, and just about all of us have suffered through it. If/when you stop losing on the scale, please be assured that you're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or more. But don't worry -- after that, the weight will start falling off if you stick to your program. If you're interested, here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight again like crazy!

(Apologies to BP regulars who have seen this repeatedly, but it's a big deal to those who are going through it!)

Other NSVs to watch out for, that maybe you aren't expecting: Your shoes will start to feel sloppy big, and your bed will feel like it got bigger.

LOL, it must feel great!

Wait till your pants and underwear start falling down in public and try to nonchalantly pull them back into place Congrats on your new journey!

This is such a cute story! Love it.

Go to Claire's and get yourself some ring snuggies until you are ready to get them sized at goal.

Funny thing is that I never really had fat fingers size wise. My left ring finger was a 7. But I figure in down to a 5.5 ring size now. I looked at a picture of my hand from 2010 when I got engaged and compared them to now and my hands are downright bony in comparison! It just strikes me as bizarre.
