Non-scale victories



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I crossed my legs for the first time in years! It was so funny because all I remember was looking down at my legs and I thought to myself "you just crossed your legs", lol.

I love non-scale victories!!!!

I've had to adjust my seat in the car because being smaller, everything is farther away. I don't have to lean to my left to buckle the seat belt.

I've had to donate a large garbage bag of clothes already, they just fall off and look comical on me.

I was able to buy regular boots, not wide calf. I'm loving this!!!!

I can't WAIT to get rid of my old clothes and start new!

I'm only 20lbs down but I had my first NSV today because a pair of jeans that were too tight on the thighs and just about did up on the waist (but couldn't be worn in public) no fit me and are even a little loose.

I have a bag of plus size clothes in different sizes from past closet sort outs as my weight changed because I don't want to spend money on new clothes until I hit regular sizes, but my wardrobe is going to be very limited until then as the only clothes I had was that bag and the ones I brought home in my suitcase.

That's awesome! I have the same bag of clothes from previous weight loss attempts. I'm 40lbs down and am noticing I need to pull my pants up all the time, even yoga pants! And shirts and sweatshirts that used to be a tiny bit bigger than I needed, just enough that I felt like I could hide behind them, are now way too big.

These are great NSV's!! Way to go everyone! It's exciting to hear some that I hadn't thought about before and can add to the list of things I look forward to with my new body.

@PageRN Isnt that the BEST feeling!

I cross mine all the time now ... and it's strange but I'm much more comfortable that way now ... rather than having them side by side and both feet on the floor ...

seems natural ... which is so odd!

I LOVE discovering all the new things that we can do now .... new things that others take for granted everyday .... we have such an appreciation for!

Hey guys! This is the perfect topic. I just wanted to share with somebody! I survived my first buffet since surgery. It was for a baby shower but I stuck to soft Proteins and veggies. The first buffet in my entire life where I did not overeat. For me it was a victory????

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
