Wow that's a great one! Congrats. I had an unexpected NSV this past weekend when my brother and sister-in-law told me my voice and the way I talk was even different since weight loss. I was surprised and asked what they meant and they said there was more pep in my voice and less breathiness when I spoke. Didn't expect that but I'll take it!

Just had a really good NSV. Walking to a store with my family, I noticed us all in the mirrored windows and had to do a double take. I didn't even recognize myself. ???? sleeved June 24th 2015

Do You Tell Others About Your Goals?
tjstark replied to Alex Brecher's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Some but not all. There are ones that I will share with family/friends like wanting to run a 5K, and I've even asked them to help me think up some NSVs. There are others that I feel are too embarrassing/personal that I would keep to myself, I mean at least until it happens maybe. -

Thank you ladies...my brother is doing alright I guess. He's still really lost, so I've been searching for recipes for him. I went to my nut again the other day, I lost the 5 lbs of the 7 I gained! She said she thinks my body was in starvation mode because I wasn't eating enough. So I upped my calories a little bit and have been making more healthier choices. And an NSV...I went to Six Flags today, and got to ride all the rides I got on! When I was there 2 yrs ago, I had to get off because I couldn't buckle or fit in the seats. Woo-hoo!

Do You Tell Others About Your Goals?
Alex Brecher posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The weight loss surgery journey is all about chasing and achieving goals for weight loss, healthy eating, new activities, and tons of other NSVs at every stage of the journey. When you set new goals, do you share them with other people? With whom? And do you update them on your progress so you can get support? Or do you prefer to keep your goals personal until you hit them so you can focus on the goal? -
So today i took the kids school shopping. We were in old navy, when they were done I decided to venture over to the ladies section to check sizes out, to see If I would fit anything. I've NEVER been able to buy from the store, only online. I tried on a top in the biggest size I saw, XXL. It was too big! I bought an XL top, and a pencil skirt to go with it. I'm still elated over this experience!!

For the first time in my life, for just a moment, I did not feel fat
Djmohr replied to VDB's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That is a great example of an NSV! Congratulations! Now can you come weed my garden? LOL! -
How about some NSVs!?!?
nieuwevis replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well, this is related to the scale, but still a nsv lol i hadn't logged on here in a while and decided to update my ticker. it moved me to tears to have a visual representation of my journey. when you're a noob and you see everyone's success, you think, wow they've come so far and i'm just beginning! but, oh, when *your* ticker finally moves and even gets to the halfway mark, it feels soooooo great! i'm 71lbs from my highest weight, 48 from surgery. woohoo!! -
JamieLogical- love the second picture on your link where the person is standing on the scale and pressing a button! ROFL! (If I could get off the floor by myself, that is!). I think one of my NSV's would be doing what that picture shows!! ????????

Whoo Hooo! I fit into a regular and attractive padded bra! A special NSV for me and my booblets.

I realized last night at the Y that I'm now at a point where I feel "normal" fat as opposed to "feel like I have to apologize for taking up space and offending people's eyes" fat. I'm still obese, but I notice that I don't immediately race from the pool to wrap a towel around me to cover myself up now. NSV, I guess?

You know, it's a weird feeling to NOT be invisible anymore. Men notice me and women now ask me all the time about where I shop, what makeup I wear, where I got my shoes, get my hair done! It's such an odd feeling like having been a ghost before and only now really being a live and a part of society. I know how you feel, it's such a big change so fast, it takes the mind a moment to catch up! I do now feel like I'm a regular person who doesn't stick out like a sore thumb everywhere I go. It's great to be alive and well for the first time in a long time! Congrats to you on how far you have come, keep it up and keep us posted!

I know I'm weird and sometimes a little stupid, but I had to know
Cheri_j replied to Cheri_j's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one. This morning, one of our vendors brought in donuts from this fabulous bakery. Just looking at them, the freshness of dumping over rode the desire to have a bite. This is a victory for me. My first NSV! I don't ever remember turning down a donut. Never. Ever. I'm the one who usually has seconds and thirds. GO ME! DJMOR - sorry that you are in the 20%. I know it must be hard. I had told myself that if I was in the 20%, it would just mean that I have to fight harder. I am going to stay away! I am committed to this lifestyle change. -
Just got back from an all inclusive vacation to Punta Cana, DR. And, it started off with lots of bad habits - example - alcohol and then the need for nachos. After 2 days, the Bariatric Gods intervened and I got sick.... Let's just say I met a guy named "John".... I spent two days in the bathroom.... After that, no more alcohol. I did have more bread than normal just to settle stomach. (I'm not really a bread person so you know it was necessary). Anyway, I ended up loosing 6 pounds on vacation!!!! Lol. Now that I'm home, I'm back on track! A few NSV - no extender for the airplane seatbelt, size 16-18 clothing including " sexy" dresses. And, a rather attractive Dominican telling me I had gorgeous legs!

Made you look. I believe these are called NSV. In the car: I can pop the truck w/o having to open the door to reach the latch on the floor I can reach down to pick something up off the floor w/o unbuckling my seatbelt I can climb into the truck w/o my husband pushing me in (but that doesn't stop him for helping me - he likes the view) LOL At home: I can bend down to cut my own toenails w/o gasping for air after each toe I can get up and down from the floor with more ease I can dry my own back I can touch the bottom of the washing machine drum when unloading At work: I can cross my legs under the desk Everyday I can see progress. I'm so happy. Have a GREAT day everyone!

LET'S CELEBRATE TOGETHER....Non- Scale Victories
allyray replied to CherieN's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Nsv... For me, I am back sleeping in our bed together with my husband and we are very much enjoying each other and can sleep the whole night together because I don't snore anymore. Soo happy!! -
Congrats. That is a pretty large list of NSV's (and technically one SV, I guess!) for one day! I hope to be in your shoes next summer, not dreading our annual trip to the amusement/water park.
-
I miss Water parks! I have not done that since I gained all my weight. Congratulations! What a great NSV.

175.8 today. It's been a good week even with a break-up, constipation and my period will prob arrive. Depressed and bloated and still losing? In my world we call that NSV!
-
@LipstickLady. That was an awesome NSV for you. It makes us truly grateful for our new lives when we can remember how it used to be. Weight loss is very freeing. I am so happy you had a great time. I too remember how I used to struggle to keep up while never complaining because I didn't want others to see how hard it was for me. I haven't been to a water park yet, but it is on my agenda. Congrats to you!!
