Eighth month Surgiversary today!  I am so in love with my sleeve!  I really wanted that loss number to be 100 today, but no way would I complain about 1 pesky pound.  I know I am not done yet and it will happen soon. 

 

I have had so many NSV's since I started.  I am almost 67 years old and can do things I haven't done since my teenage years.  I crossed my leg yesterday without even thinking about it...  I climbed the bleacher steps last night without huffing and puffing.... I can reach my purse or adjust my seat while riding in a car.  Before I asked my other half to lean over and grab it for me....I can-do so many things I can't even remember them all.  Clothes sizes are shrinking, and shopping is fun again.  I am not even out of plus sizes yet but it doesn't bother me.  I will be soon!

 

For those just starting, don't get discouraged.  For those with me and ahead of me, keep on following your plans and reach your goals.  I know I will.

Please bear with me, I am new and just starting the ball rolling towards the sleeve, but what is a "NSV"? (covers her face in embarrassment, LOL)  Thanks!

NSV= Non Scale Victory.  Never feel bad about asking a question here.  We all do it.  Just a note; in the blue stripe at the top of the page there is a magnifying glass.  If you type in your question you will probably find a quick answer!

Thank you Debbie!  I'm just starting to learn all the acronyms!  The first time I read that someone consulted their NUT, I was like "why would you ask someone you think is a nut anything, especially regarding your health"!  LOL

Wow.  You are doing great. Congratulations on all your NSV's and weight loss.  I had my VSG when I was 64, and I was just a little heavier than you when I started, so I feel a strong connection to your story and your joy with your success.  Great job working that sleeve.  And the best is yet to come.  Congratulations
