Considered a BIG NSV for me!
Spaness2012 replied to Spaness2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
For those ladies who just found out what an NSV is.......for me, it's a much better measure of my efforts than the dreaded scale. I get so excited with the small realizations. Like when a normal size towel fit around me, when I could tie my shoes without being breathless, when I could fit in small chairs I otherwise would have avoided, etc. Make sure you are paying attention to the small stuff. The small stuff really gets you through the hurdles! Yay us! -

Silly me but what is an NSV? And I am pretty sure I can't wait for one -
Had a nice lunch with my mom and then we hit the mall, oh my, it had been a while since I had been shopping and boy was it fun. Ended up in a regular department store, plus size section but regular department store and purchased size 1X shirts, I was so excited. This time last year I was wearing size 26/28 and they were tight and 3X's were beginning to get tight. I still have big arms so I buy 3/4 length sleeves plus I stay cold all the time anyway year around so it doesn't bother me but these shirts were super duper cute. Just had to share. thx.

Oooh! I love rollercoasters! I've been too afraid to even try them for years. What a fantastic day you had and there is nothing better than the adoration of your children! Big thumbs up for this NSV! -

Super NSV! Rock on! -
Today I took the kids to Busch Gardens (here in Tampa) as they are kicking off their summer vacation. I have not been here in about a year. The last time I was here, I no longer could fit in a rollercoaster and was mortified, appalled, and embarrassed. So were my children. This was my rock bottom! TODAY...I not only fit in the coasters....I had plenty of room to spare! We spent all day walking the park with very little effort or exhaustion. I hardly thought about food all day. I never had any anxiety about my knees hurting, my back aching, or my feet swelling up. I was having the time of my life! Last year, all I wanted to do was lose enough weight to fit in a rollercoaster...that's it...a simple request. If I go by this measure of success...I am there! I am a success story!! I still want to lose more weight....and I will set small goals along the way. But today...I am here....I am successful...and my kids think I am a rock star!!

I just got home from my three month appointment and it looks like I will officially become a loser towards the end of July! I am pretty pumped up. I cant wait to start seeing some NSVs. This fall I am going to sit in a tree stand while hunting and not praying that the 300lb weight limit on the stand was just a suggestion. So far my biggest worry is the drain tube and catheter. But it will be worth it!

NSVs are great ANY time of day!

I was sleeved July 9, 2012. And down 105 lbs. I was watching TV with my 4 Year old niece and they were advertising exercise equipment. They showed a woman holding up her old huge pants and Anna said like Cynthia.

Hah! Lots of folks wish they could get to that point!!Great NSV!

I've had a pair of pants hanging in my closet for years that I thought, "If I could only lose enough weight to fit into those again, I'd be so happy!" Well, I just put them on... and they're TOO BIG!! And I'm not even done losing yet!! Loving my new life and my lap-band!!!!!

Fabulous February Post-Op's
ncdeking replied to ArmyWife&Mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
NSVs I've noticed lately: (1) I now have a lap! (2) I no longer have to avoid booths! (3) I can cross my legs without using my hands! (4) I'm off ALL prescription meds! (5) I enjoy shopping again! I want to plan a girls weekend shopping trip! (6) I fit comfortably into movie theater seats! (7) I'm not always the biggest person in the room! -
So I went to a wedding this Sunday I had this picture taken and I can't believe how skinny my neck looks

NSV...worked like a 20 year old..

Great job Gman!! Them yungins can learn a thing or two from you...ha! What a great NSV! -
Great NSV but next time wear proper footwear, please. The risk to your feet when mowing is really large and getting hurt would slow your brilliant progress right down. (Sorry, I work in OHS, couldn't help myself.)

I went to work for my nephew who has a Deck and Dock business here in Tampa, Florida. He needed help packing Water retainers in 2 backyards. The job consisted of a dump truck dropping a huge mound of dirt in the driveway, the dirt being shoveled into heavy wheel barrows and wheeled to the backyard and dumped into the form, and then tamped down with a heavy tamper....all day. I worked 6-7 hours a day, Monday- Wednesday with 2 guys in their 20's in 93 degree humid Florida air. My young fellow workers complained the whole time and took frequent breaks, even took off to McDonalds to "go to the bathroom". Old Gman just kept plodding along only stopping for water and a Peanut Butter sandwich. I told them stories of my long life and had great fun with them. It's been a year and a half since my surgery. I have lost 85 pounds since then, 115 all together. Before the surgery I could barely walk up the stairs. I have been working out for the last year, stepping up the intensity every chance I could. I didn't know if I could do this job, working out is quite different from working all day in blazing hot sunlight and stifling humidity. I stood the test. I am 64.

On Sunday the wife and I leave for 4 nights in Las Vegas. I can't wait to board the plane and get in the seat, there should be lots of room and no need for a seat belt extender. I'm not worried about eating there, as it is now I can't overeat even if I want to, there will be buffets for us. And with less spent on food I think we'll take in an extra show. Who knows I may even get in the pool. SW 304 CW 222

I made it to the 40lb mark today!!! I thought I was never going to see it! The loss between 30 & 40 creeped soooo slowly. I tried keeping my head high by measuring inches. I am down 29 inches since Jan:) I am 22 lbs from my goal so I have got to kick things up a notch at the gym. I am ready to conquer this challenge & live a healthy, happy life. Next NSV....weigh less than my husband, 8 lbs from this goal. I am so glad I chose the lap band....best decision ever:)

How fun! Great NSV!

OMG - I am certain most, if not ALL of us can identify with this. I still hold up my jeans after coming out of the dryer and think "NO WAY, they've shrunk" I'm serious!!! When I was just post op, Victoria's secret had their special, 6 for $25, something like that and I stepped OUT of my comfort zone and onto a limb. I got 6 pair of MEDIUMS!!!! I kept them in the bag, wrapped in the tissue paper and would look at them every so often. I was wearing an XL, the high cut ones, and they fit, they were NOT loose at all. These I got were bikini.....I really did think I was being overly optimistic, but my youngest daughter wore a M and if I never could, she could. I wore the others till they were falling off. I threw them away and went straight from the XL to the M - talk about a NSV!!!!!!! This is not a diet and you HOPE you'll do it, girl, you WILL do it and you WILL be in the size you got...and I'd bet money you will end up in a smaller size than that. Have fun!
