Yeah!!! For NSVs!!!

I have really not been paying much attention to the number on the scale lately.  Been too busy.  However,  I have been noticing many NSVs this month...

I can cross my legs!!!!  I haven't done this for years!  I did it without even realizing I did it one day and my husband said, "HEY!!!!  Look what you're doing!!!"  

I go to school full time.  I went back last year when I turned 40.  I have always been uncomfortable in the desks,  as the seat and the desk are attached, leaving not much room for a 300 pound person.  I sat uncomfortably for sometimes 4 hours at a time during a lecture and the entire time being self concious.  I just started my fall term this past week and not only do I fit in the desk, there actually is room and I can sit sideways too!  HUGE NSV for me!

Friday I went to the movies and didn't have to lift up the arm rest inbetween me and my daughter.  I had extra room left over.

Just started buying shirts in the womens department, size XL.  In between a 16-18 pants right now,  and I can't believe it.  Life is good.

My daugher put her arms around me yesterday.  She said, "MOM!! I  can put my arms all the way around you now.... AND there's room left over" 

And finally..... I flew to Vegas a couple of weeks ago and as usual,  I brought my seatbelt extender.  Not only did I NOT have to use it,  but there was a little extra slack after I buckled.

I haven't been obsessing about food, which is a huge deal.  I haven't been obsessing about the number on the scale.  I have been focusing on getting strong and healthy.  Its hard to believe its only been 11 weeks since surgery.  I never imagined I would have so many positive things happen so early.

LIfe after WLS has been great so far.  I can't wait to see what the next 3 months have in store.

Hi Amy, I am so excited for you. Those are great NSVs and congrats on going back to school. Life is looking good for you...ENJOY!!! You are living up to your motto Just awesome.

Thanks so much!  Appreciate the support!  Life is good for sure!   You're doing great as well!  Way to go,  you had surgery a couple weeks after me!  Go us!

LOL, GO US!!!! Things are going well for me and I am also trying to not obsess over the scale....as I get further out from surgery, the less that I have the urge to weigh - so I am looking for NSVs. Tonight I put on my pants that I wore prior to surgery and they swamped me. I have gotten rid of all of my clothes except those pants so I can compare when the scale doesn't move. You started out at a lower weight than I did so, I am looking forward to enjoying some of your NSV's. Thanks for sharing. I am right behind ya, sister

You will hit these same NSV's real soon!!!  Way to go with the old pants!  Its always a great reminder of where we came from!

Have a great week!

Congratulations!  Especially on not obssessing about the scale.  Wish I was there.
