3 month surgiversary, NSVs & new habits
Hi all,
3 months ago I started this life change and it truely has been one! I am down a total of 51 lbs and feeling great!
NSV1 - I work at a hospital. The patients who come in regularly are starting to comment about my weight loss!
NSV2 - I can fit in booths at restaurants now with room to spare!
NSV3 - I deliberately choose the "regular stall" instead of the handicapped stall in the public restrooms because I have no trouble fitting!
NSV4 - Clothes that used to be tight now swim on me.
NSV5 - I can tie my shoes and cut my toenails without needing to come up for air
NSV6 - I no longer have swelling in my lower legs, ankles and feet
NSV7 - I am off my diabetic and blood pressure medication
NSV8 - I feel healthy!
NSV 9 - The pain that I have had in my right ankle for months is gone
NSV10 -When I started out I was wearing a size 5x top. Yesterday my wife bought me a tshirt. She told me that she was going to get me a 3x so I didn't even look when I put it on. It fit perfectly - later she told me that it was a 2x!
NSV11 - I feel like I am in control of my body, not the other way around
One of the things I noticed this week is that I have developed the habit of eating what is on my program. I had a hellatious week at work. More stress than I will bore you with. I didn't even have time or energy to log my food intake. But during the week I ate just like I had the weeks before. Eating like this has become my new habit so much so I didn't even think about going off my program.
If anyone is considering having this surgery I say do it! It will change your life.
