2 Weeks Post-Op NSV's
Two weeks ago I had my VSG Surgery. I have lost 30.6 pounds as of today, 10 of that Post-Op. But I am excited too about the following NSV's.
-My belt has moved over three notches.
--My 25-year Wedding Anniversary Ring fits on my right ring finger again.
-I went to the movies yesterday, and popcorn has always been my delight at the movies. My husband ordered some for himself, but I was perfectly content sipping on my bottle of water.
I am so thankful to have had this surgery!

Oh, please don't be depressed. First, don't compare yourself to anyone...everyone's body is different. Secondly, the main point of my post was the NSV's (Non-Scale Victories), start a journal writing those down, it will encourage you. Also, 20 of my pounds lost were Pre-op. I am not exercising yet, can't do the gym yet, and it has been pouring rain here. I haven't hit my 10,000 steps either.

well, thank you, but it is a bit concerning. i'm really eating so very little, walking, and haven't shown much loss in the last week. and i start back at work next week, so i feel a bit like this is a big week to have some success! just trying to figure it out a bit. but thank you for your words of encouragement. :)
(side note: wondering why my widget doesn't show on my signature. thought i'd selected it, but it's never there!)
I am getting close to crossing my legs...I can't wait! Congratulations to you! :-)

Congratulations! I have definitely seen success on the scale as well as in my clothes. I even went "thrift shopping" today to buy some "NOW" clothes. I plan on doing mostly thrift shopping until I lose most of my weight. It's still a little difficult for me to be in places where I enjoyed my "favorite" foods but I'm proud of you.
