State: Beautiful Colorado |  NSV (Non Scale Victory)!!!
I had a great NSV yesterday, went shopping, went into a normal store, GAP, and bought a T shirt a size XL but still it was a normal store!! I bought it thinking it would fit down the road and it was incentive, I've not bought something in a NORMAL store in years!! I tried it on at home and IT FIT!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's snug but my daughter, husband and friend all say no that's the way it's supposed to fit. I'm so stoked, now I want to go back and get one in every color!!!

State: Beautiful Colorado | I just had to go back to the Gap today and get one more of those shirts in another color. Now I have 2 'normal girl' shirts!!!
Another NSV is I took measurments and after only a few weeks I have lost a few inches all over!
Come on, share your NSV's!! (non scale victories) I know there have to be plenty in a group our size!

I HAD to step on the scale today, and I had to get back on like 10 more times!! I started a pre-op diet 2 days before surgery and before I left for the hospital I was down 5 pounds. So my high was 270, pre-surgery was 265 and today it's at 250! How friggin exciting is that!!! I couldn't believe my little eyes! That means that this is gonna work! Plus I'm overcoming my head hunger, I think thats the hardest part! But wahoo!!!!

State: Beautiful Colorado | I recently saw my husbands cousin, I picked her up at the airport and then she drove home to Wyoming. So I only saw her for about 30 min. But she told DH's aunt that there was something so different about me. She said I seemed happier, more confident, and just had a different 'air' about me. The aunt just told me this last night, she knew I was banded the cousin didn't yet. That was just so encouraging to me to hear.
Also, bought some new smaller clothes!!

Congrats Long2bThin!
It is amazing how much of a boost these non-scale victories give us. Each and everyone I have makes me euphoric!
I started out having to lose much more than you, but I am now getting close to 'normal store' sizes. It is so exciting and a bit scary. I'm afraid I'll become a shopaholic! To go into just about any store and find something that will fit AND look good on me - WOW!
Keep up the good work!
Katja

My BP was 132/82 yesterday, nearly normal!!!!!! Pre-surgery it was 155/95 ish, even with meds. I am still on meds, was even when I was thin, but I am so excited about this. Yes I want to look good, but the real reason for this surgery was my health and a benefit like this after just 15-20 pounds in AMAZING!

State: CT | new pants!!!
What a gret thread. Before surgery I was pretty much in a 22/24 pant and 4x shirt. I now fit in a 2x shirt and just bought regular 18 - not plus - pants. This is so great. As with many of you, I have been off my blood pressure meds since surgery. I will have my blood work done nex month to check cholesteral. Congrats everyone...on to healthier new lives.
