NSV (Non Scale Victory)!

My wedding and engagement rings fit again!  I took them off well over a year ago, while I could still get them off (barely).  Mind you, I'm not quite 2 weeks out, and have only lost 10 lbs from my pre-surgery weight.  However, from August until December 17th I lost 60 lbs.  I'll take it however I can get it!

Karen, that's excellent! Grats!

I'm curious, have you noticed any improvement in your GERD yet?

I haven't had any heartburn since surgery, but I'm still on Prilosec twice a day.

Mine was a quiet GERD.  I didn't have pain that often, but the damage was being none anyway.

How about you?

Karen

At the moment, if anything, it's a little worse to be honest. I think that's only really because they stopped the Protonix I was on while I was in the hospital, and now I'm playing catch up. I get a lot of reflux if I lie flat, and I'm having a lot of burping. Hopefully it will all resolve shortly, though.

I'm sorry.  I hope you feel better soon.

I got a bed wedge to sleep with my head elevated, and I think that helps too,

Karen

YEAH. Soon you will need to get them resized.

Won't that be fun!

How are you doing, Barb?

Karen

That's very exciting. For Christmas I told my family and friends to get any gifts (clothes) for me too small and I am looking forward to be able to get into them. It's the small victories that matter! Congrats again!

Yours will be coming soon, and I'm looking forward to celebrating YOUR victories too!

Karen

Yeah!!!! I love the little things that make us happy. Now your hubby needs to take you on a 2nd honeymoon :)
