First NSV!
VSG on 05/01/12
I have lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks. It was 2 weeks ago I did my 3 day pre-op diet. (yeah, I know THAT was pretty luckly, only 3 days!). I was about to buy me a new scale today, 4 days and it hadn't budged. It HAD to be the scale right?! LOL. No, I wasn't that upset, the weight loss over 2 weeks made me happy enough, but I had promised myself come Sunday (tomorrow) the daily weigh ins were over. Once a week from tomorrow on. I also know I have been struggling to get in my protein and calories. Just having a hard time tolerating those shakes. I resolved myself to choke at least 3 a day down though. Fluids are great at least, no issues there. Moving my booty and excersising has been almost nil as well, today it was for sure time to get on my tradmill or get my kids and go for some nature walks on our property. Will be making time for that from here on out and it will help.
But...today is Sat, so I could still weigh right?
I was finally down half a pound. Better than nothing, but I wasn't dancing around over it! LOL. I put my jeans on that I had worn 4 days ago, still at 17lbs lost. 4-5 days ago they fit no different than before losing any weight. Today...they are perfect! Almost too loose. I bet I could squeeze into my size 14's and they would fit like these 16's fit a few days ago! LOL! jk. I am done with stuffing myself into anything.
It was nice to see it played out exactly how I have read. I don't consider myself in any kind of "stall". 17lbs is a good loss for me that quickly and my body must have needed to stop and regroup and show me in a visual way that THIS SLEEVE KICKS ARSE!

Congrats,The most amazing thing will happen soon(it still amazes me) you will try something on that does not fit instead of putting it back you will catch yourself thinking not yet maybe next week.It was so hard not to buy things that were too big now I think should I get it smaller so I can wear it longer.
It's true we so often get hung up on what the scale says...a great reminder that it's not all about the numbers! Keep up the good work!!
