Weight loss VS Roller coasters
Beach Lover replied to Stef_L's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
When I was 287 pounds and a 22-24 I rode all the roller coasters at Disney. The other day I was there and it was wonderful to fit a little better. You should give it a try........could be a NSV for you!! Good Luck and have a great time!! -
One of my sons is a phenomenal athlete (track, cross country, swimming, and soccer). Since surgery he's worked with me to find exercise I like and when I travel he sends me reminders to hit the hotel gym. Even though he can run circles around me, for months he's gone with me at 430 AM, three days a week, when I go running/jogging. One of the indicators he was most concerned about was my high resting heart rate (and my BP). For the last few days my resting HR has been really great- a huge change since last July when I had WLS. After this morning's run, he gave me one of his track gold track medals and told me that my heart is getting slower and his is getting bigger because he is so proud of his "little mom."

Nsv- One I Never Expected!
iegal replied to keldolbeth's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Awesome NSV! So cute. Don't agonize over when the right time to tell him might be. This will come naturally. Honey, he is going to notice that you are losing weight. Eventually he might even see your scars. Two plus two = WLS If he is the man you think he is, he will only be happy that you took charge of your own health. Thanks for making me smile tonight! -

That is absolutely fantastic!!!! Congrats to you. I love to hear stories like this. A wonderful NSV! -
Very very cool! I have to say I had a simlar experience last week. I was in a rush and grabbed a pair of slacks for work that have been tight on me and I had stopped wearing them. Well they were loose and I was needing a belt for them!! It is a great feeling and your right NSV!

NSV- not recognized
OKCPirate replied to LisaMergs's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@LisaMergs - One of my prouder NSV's was at last year's Meet the Teacher Night. For several years I could not fit in the dang desks. No problem the last two years. Got to love this stuff. -
Well, I am 37 years old and have bought my very FIRST pair of bluejeans! (Hold on to something tight, the earth might be moving where you are - I am in he process of doing the happy dance!!) I have always been a big girl and never ever thought I looked good in jeans and still don't actually look good in them, but at least I feel comfortable in a size 18 now! I never would bring myself to buy them to wear because I never felt I would look decent in them. Might not be a big deal to alot of folks, but that is going in my scrapbook as soon as I get my hubby to take a picture of me wearing them! Thanks for listening to me and my silly NSV.

Well, I received a great NSV this week from the results of my blood work, it was my 3 month post op appointment. I have my Diabetes completely under control now with no medication. My A1C test ( 3 month blood sugar average) was 10.2 before surgery, it is now down to 6.3. My Cholesterol was 237 before surgery, it is now 138. My triglycerides were 286 before surgery, they are now 96. The sleeve has been such a great tool to provide the restriction needed to lose weight. I say tool because you still have to eat right and exercise but it is doing its job. I take no medication at all and I feel great. I am well on my way to my goal weight with 65 lbs lost as of today . If I did not lose another pound, this has already been a huge success for me.

My NSV of today is being able to comfortably sit in those horrid wire patio chairs that restaurants have! Haven't sat in one of these without being squashed into it with my butt bulging out & the blood flow to my thighs being cut off in forever!! Now I have room to spare!! Fellow Sleevers - what are your NSVs?

Ok ..so I went to a store for the first time..not just digging through my closet and yes..I am finally down one pant size. Now that may no seem like much BUT I haven't seen this size for 11 years much less even squeezed myself into it! They slipped right now and zipped effortlessly with room to spare! (sorry gentlemen..this next part you can disregard!) I also had a change in bra size ..when down a full 2 inches and went up a cup size! LoL ..maybe things just shifted in that aspect! But still who ever heard of going up a cup size wild!!! I am proud of me and my sleeve! I am on a journey and I hope it continues to go well! 9 w and 5 d out and down 49# and I guess that is good!

Hi everyone! I can't believe one month has already passed. It has been quite a challenging month, but it has been well-worth every minute! I had my VSG on July 30th 2012. I have lost a grand total of 17.4 pounds on one month, and 24.2 pounds from my highest weight in August 2011... Amazingly, I have lost a total of 17 1/2 inches! (I still can't quite believe this)... I have removed more than half the clothing in my closet because it was just too big (again, that is a rare occurrence for me!)... Most importantly, I have been OFF my diabetic medications (I was on Metformin 1000 mg twice a day) and my BP medications (I was on Atacand 16 mg once a day) since the surgery - I am so very thankful for this... ) Here are some photos (the images on the left of each photo are from one day pre-op, and the images on the right of each photos are from today): I hope I am posting these correctly... food in the portions that I used to enjoy), but it has also been one of the MOST important, valuable, and healthy things I have ever done for myself so far - it has changed my life in a matter of weeks and I have been thankful ever since I did it that I made the decision to move forward... Thanks to everyone here for having the courage to share their stories, their humor, and their encouragement! -Sarah

CONGRATS TO U!! Those NSV's are awesome
-
One small NSV for me is my feet have shrunk. I bought some new shoes a while back and had to set them aside and buy wider ones because they did not fit well and were too tight. I tried them on for the hell of it yesterday and they fit great and I wore them the whole day with no problems. I never would have never thought of my feet shrinking…probably a guy thing.

NSV....made my day!
Heyher replied to Takingcontrol's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
LoL!! They are sensitive about that huh? Congrats on a very flattering NSV!! -
Elfiepoo, I've seen "NSV" on other posts. What does it mean? Rather what does it stand for. I get the meaning.

I'm feeling really proud tonight. The first picture was taken a few days before my surgery on 7/7/17. The pic in the black dress is from today. This was an old dress I'd given up hope on ever wearing again. I'm not quite where I want to be in it yet (or maybe it just feels weird being so 'exposed' in a dress), but I felt really proud of this NSV and wanted to share it gets easier, with each passing day. Hang in there everyone! Sleeved 7/7/17 5'5 female, 28 years old HW: 230 SW: 223 CW: 185 GW: 135

I thought I was at goal 25 pounds ago so I bought myself two Miss Me pair of jeans from the buckle. Size 30 which is a 9/10 Well those are now too big. So I went into The Buckle to see what size I am now. I grabbed some 28 waist which is a 5/6. The salesman said what size do you have there? I told him 28 and he said oh I think those are going to be too big. I had held them up and thought there is no way I am fitting into these. I laughed at the salesman and said, do they train you to say things like that to flatter women so they will buy this stuff? He snickered and said no, but the 28's are going to be too big. I said yeah, right! I out them on and THEY WERE TOO BIG! I now wear a 27 XTRA LONG. I didn't buy any that day as I couldn't find any I liked. But believe me I came home and ordered three pair!

Congrats on such a great NSV.

OK I just have to share... I bought some shorts about a month ago and was bummed when they didn't fit.... I decided to try them on today and they fit, comfortably. YEAH I am so excited especially since I haven't been seeing the scale move all that much. I actually have some older clothes in my "new" size that I can bust out now :smile2: I have nothing smaller than this (pantswise) so I will have to buy a pair of jeans or something the next size down for motivation. YEAH!!!:thumbup:

I'm at my surgeon's for my 2 month follow up after surgery. They were checking my blood pressure which was great 119/78 and they used the small cuff on my arm. They didn't have to get the bid jumbo arm cuff out. Not even the medium one. They took out the little one. Wow!! I'm so excited.

Best Nsv Ever - Made My Day!
twoboysandagirl replied to susnl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Susan~ That is an awesome NSV! You have done an amazing job and you are just a twinkle from goal! I am gonna watch for your goal post I am sure it will be soon! -
I am sure many of you that are further along on our journey have had a friend or family member call you "skinny" as a sweet compliment to your weight loss. It has happened to me a couple of times over the past year. Well, I knew I was far from it still but I just smiled and said "Thank you". Well, yesterday morning on the way to church, I was riding in the back seat with my 4 yr old (not normal) and commented how much room there was back there now. My son, as with most kids at this age, is brutally honest. He stated that I fit so well because I was SKINNY. Skinny? Me? Really? Wow, it is so awesome that my son sees me like that way. I am not the fat mom any more. Yay!!

Being new to all of this I am slowly learning the terminology & abbreviations. Found out today was NSV stands for and I thought I'd share one of mine.... The one that stands out the most is silly but significant (to me anyway). I sat down one day to put on my socks and shoes to get ready for work and I crossed my right leg over my left knee... and it stayed up there!!! I was so very excited. I can't remember the last time I was able to put on socks & shoes that way. I make it a point to do it every time I'm getting ready now just to make sure the skill hasn't left me as quickly as it arrived. Silly I know, but I LOVE it. Small victories keep me moving:thumbup: I find it easy to get discouraged, especially when you're uber aware of family & friends around you and it feels like they have these expectations for you to be successful...quickly. But I have to remember to stay positive. I'm always encouraging others to stay positive - I need to learn to practice what I preach :rolleyes2:
