A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?
Zannie replied to Wheetsin's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Wahoo!! What a NSV that is! :clap2: Oh, to leave my 32's behind (and my Size 32W behind) & fit into my 28's again! At last check, I'm down twenty-eight pounds since my surgery, and I've yet to have a single non-scale victory... Way to go!!!! -
DD has strep. She had me look this morning before I left for work and I saw spots. Sure enough the dr confirmed it was strep, so shes on penicillin. Hopefully it'll knock it out of her before Saturday. Bk - it'll happen when you least expect it to - suddenly you'll go "wow, thats me!" I had another nsv today. One of the guys at work said you can tell Steph is losing weight, she doesn't wear those big baggy clothes anymore (I think he was looking at my butt LOL ) I actually am between sizes, my butt is a 14 but my waist is a 16 - it drives me crazy! So yeah my butt looked good today but if he had seen the fat flopping out at the waistline he may have thought differently. Still it was nice to hear.

StephC - I love you. I truly truly do. And I agree 100% with everything you said. He asked me to come to church with him sometime. I was raised in the church. I have been thinking about looking for church home, and raising my DS in a church as well. I think I wasn't expecting him to make that confession. However, it hasn't stopped me from thinking about him and getting a bit fluttery when I see him. And how beautiful that your family is so kind hearted and giving. We can talk more in PM. I was up until 3:30. DS is up anad ready to get going, but I am hoping he'll go back to sleep now. I called out of work. Personal day. YAY ME! NSV: I ate 1/2 c. food last night and was full! I was multi-tasking and so I took a long time between bites. by 2am I was hungry again, so I had 2 lil chicken nuggets left over from DS's dinner. I think I'm going to start eating much slower. KayDoll - tell us about the excitement in Boston yesterday! I can't believe all that drama was caused by a publicity stunt! HA! People are idiots. bk - screw your sister in law. You do You, and to hell with her trying to bring you down. She is a toxic person. An emotional terrorist. And you don't need to internalize her BS. Limit your interactions and conversation wtih her if she continues to make you question your choices, your success and yourself. You need to be surrounded by people who will support you and encourage you. Just my two cents. I don't deal with BS. Transformer - glad you got your fill! You sound *so* busy. Keep up the good work! It's snowing outside. *sigh* I am so not amused. Just reinforces my decision to stay home today. HOME. It is really coming down, too. UGH. N.

glitter eyes replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had multiple NSV's during this process. Some of favorites have been: 1. Crossing my legs again 2. Shopping in the "normal" section 3. Able to fit comfortably in a restaurant booth 4. Wearing heels/wedges 5. Having lots of energy 6. Working out without feeling out of breath or out of place 7. Walking all day at Disney and having tons of extra room on all the rides- going back next week and can't wait I am looking forward to many more and I love reading everyone's victories!! It is inspiring -

Yesterday I was able to decorate the Christmas tree and mantle without resting or directing my husband on where to put things from the sofa. I've lost 50 lbs since October 1st and the big NSV is that my lower back pain is just about gone. I never would have been able to be on my feet so much. My poor husband has had to decorate under my direction for about the past 3 years. I am so happy! -

Most recent NSV....being able to take a picture one time and not nitpick everything about it. Also having candid pictures taken of you at an event and not chasing down the person with the camera to delete the photos Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App -

Oops -- forgot a big one -- Been having trouble with the CPAP machine keeping me awake at night (sleep apnea). I called the doctor and took the machine over to the clinic to have the pressure lowered from 11 to 8 (all attributed to weight loss). However, for the past 2 nights, it's still bugging me, so I have an appointment to see the doctor in about a month and I think I'll end up going off it for good. For now, I'm not using it because it interferes with more than helps me sleep. THAT's a big NSV. -
Weird NSV ,the two rolls of fat on my back are gone! Good riddance!!

SGirl35 replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there! My surgery went great! I’m down 26lbs my third week post op. I still do feel sick at times and am learning how to eat and drink slowly. I can’t keep too much down though. My NSV would be ; no more back pain, and I can’t leave out that my feet don’t hurt anymore! I had the worst throbbing foot pain in both my feet and now I can walk and run errands without being miserable. Congrats on your toe nail victory. I hadn’t tried! I just leaned over and saw that Wow I can! However it does hurt my tummy to do much since my incisions are still healing. -
Thanks for the advice Barbara. I have my six month appointment coming up in about 2.5 weeks. I will definitely address it with my doc. Til then I'm gonna eat early, stay away from the offenders and see what happens! Congrats on getting rid of the pants. I haven't done that yet. I'm waiting for the day I'm walking down the hall at work and my pants just fall off. Now THAT's a wacky NSV!

Today is one month from my surgery date and I'm considering this to be my first nsv and that is I actually weight the same as what is says on my drivers license. May sound silly but I haven't been this weight in years! -

Feb 2017 sleevers - how's everyone doing post-op?
biginjapan replied to biginjapan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's been a month and a day since surgery. I lost 23 pounds pre-op, but only 15 pounds post-up. I've been stalled for 2 weeks, although my weight has been fluctuating up and down by the same 1 or 2 pounds. I've cut back on dairy, which has helped with a lot of issues, and I'm trying to get my calories in (my NUT wants a minimum of 800 daily), which I can do, but I feel like I'm either full or eating all day. I would have liked to have lost more by this point (I was hoping for 20 pounds post-op) but I put on a pair of jeans today that I haven't been able to wear in over 2 years, so that's a nice NSV. I've also noticed that my fat seems more loose and jiggly (I was always kind of solid before), and that I've got some weird bulges in my thighs that I never had before. The inches are coming off, I just want that d@mn scale to move! -

Yay! Sounds good to me! Ebony, men are idiots. Enjoy your NSV and understand that the male species is something we'll never understand. Lulu, your arms are amazing. Can I have them when you're finished with them? :w00t: TPG -

OH Juli replied to AshevilleEddie's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Edd, I love you NSV. It's fantastic. I hope to be a copy cat and make it mine too. I've made plans to do something similar. My banded friend and I are going to an amusement park the 4th of July weekend. No kids, no partners. Just us former fatties, enjoying the ride which we haven't ridden on since high school. I'm super excited. -

Fanny, your in the 70's in the middle of winter! How cool is that! Happy Bandaversary KT! Ebony, congrats on the NSV. I love NSVs:wub: Good morning everyone. Hope you are all doing well! I love antiques also. My parents loved antiquing. Dad would refurbish wood antiques. I have a table that he redone. The chairs have pretty much all gone. I have 5 chairs left and 3 are usable. It originally had 8. I have a china hutch that dates from the 1800s that was my parents. I have some butter dishes and Black Amethyst vases. I have a child's wooden ironing board that my grandfather made my mom when she was 3. It is signed and dated. (but it is fading) It is 83 yrs. old. It folds and unfolds just like a regular ironing board. I have some antique dolls. My favorite I have had since I was 6. She is a Suzy doll. She is worth $400.00. (she was appraised at a antique road show type deal.) If I had her shoes and her dress was in better shape she would be worth more. She was given to me when freinds of the family bought a house and there were toys there. They gave them to me. My kids laugh at me when we go yard saleing or to the flee markets because of the antiques. They think I am like a kid in a candy shop. Everyone have a blessed day -
WARNING...NON-SCALE VICTORY (NSV) AHEAD! So I am out for my walk today, just going along, admiring the view of this beautiful day and minding my own business. Most of the walk was uneventful, outside of saying HI to a few people I would pass by here and there, until I made my way back home, a car came by and some TWENTYSOMETHING guy whistled out the window at me! ROFL. Wow, how long has it been since that has happened? I have no idea *grin*....but it certainly feels great! The funny thing was, I had nothing revealing or outstanding on...just a casual outfit of capris and matching top. Of course, they were a couple of sizes smaller. Heh.
