NSV

[scstxrn 213]

I'm 2 and a half weeks post op. About 5 months ago, at 335 lbs I realized that my scrubs were busting at the seams and bought new ones; 5x top, 3x pants.

Yesterday I realized I was swimming in my scrubs.

Today I broke out the ones that were busting at the seams... and at 276.6, my 3x top and XL pants fit perfectly .. I'm going to take them in at least once before I go shopping for new scrubs.

Because never in the last 5 years have I been more than 30 lbs smaller than I am now.. so I don't own any smaller scrubs.

NSV = Non scale Victory

For the weeks when the scale hardly moves; an extra mile or a faster mile or an extra 10 minutes on a workout... or smaller clothes..

Thank you very much!

Way to go on your success this far! A helpful hint or suggestion on the scrubs.... Unless you are loaded with $ have you thought of checking the goodwill or consignment shops? You could maybe sell your old ones and get slightly used ones until your at your goal. This was the best tip brought up in the support group meeting is to hit consignment shops up for clothes while your in transition until your at goal. Often times you can find perfectly good clothes. The scrubs section at out local goodwill ship is huge! All kinds color or size! happy scrubbing

Thank you for the suggestion. The scrub section at our local good will is not so great, and I'm kind of a scrub snob... that said, instead of my usual 7 sets of scrubs (so I only have to do laundry once a week)... I will probably just stick to 2 sets while I'm shrinking, one to wash - one to wear... and thankfully the ones I wear have enough stretch that I should be able to skip a size in between buying.

Cherokee flexibles tops, core stretch pants if anyone is looking for *amazing* scrubs.
