While going through the requirements to get VSG I keep myself motivated by watching Youtube videos of sleevers who are sharing their journey and I am always excited to hear about the non scale victories because when, like myself, you have been dealing with lifelong obesity you learn to ignore or simply deal with certain challenges that non obese people don’t have. For example in recent years, back pain from carrying all my extra weight has made walking difficult whereas walking at a time was my favorite form of exercise and I could and would walk miles. Now I find myself unable to walk a full city block without experiencing pain or wanting to sit down. For me, a non scale victory would be able to walk my dog around the 2 mile perimeter of my local park with ease. So to all my sleevers, both new and old— What have been some of the non scale victories experienced in your journey?
