NSV!!!!
Hello Everyone!!! I know it's been awhile since my last post,so I thought I'd catch y'all up on my progress.
I've been doing ok, trying to get my protein and fluids in. I've been really good about getting my vitamins in. I've been trying to eat my protein and rely so much on the shakes. So far so good! I had my three month labs done and they look really good. Surgeon is proud of my progress. I couldn't be happier!!
This is where my NSV comes in. I have been wearing all of my "big" clothes until I can't wear them any longer. I know I won't be in one size for long so I don't plan on buying a whole lot of clothes. But, today I went to a local consignment store to "look" at some smaller clothes. I was wearing size 26 when I started my journey, so I was just gonna try on some 24's. They were too big:o. I tried a size 22, they were loose, so just for heck of it I tried on a size 20. To my surprise they fit, and not a tight fit either!!
I know it's a start, but I'm really proud of my progress. I know now what I have to look forward to. So anyway, I wanted to share my news with y'all and to the newbies. Take one day at a time, don't give up when you feel you have hit the wall, and just remember why you're doing this. Thanks for letting me share
