1. My engagement ring is much looser whereas it almost cut off my circulation before. 2. I can buckle my watch one notch tighter. 3. Jeans that used to be tight now button with ease. 4. I've kicked my coffee habit and don't even miss it! 5. GYN says my PCOS is clearing up with no meds! 6. No more heartburn! NSVs are the best!

I have a few from the last couple of weeks, that I'm just gonna put together The first one is that I found my class ring about a week and a half ago, and it fits. I graduated in 99, and quit wearing the ring a few years later when it was more comfortable on my pinky. Now it fits, and there's even just the slightest amount of extra room. I'm always adjusting it because it goes crooked, but I'm ok with that . I didn't even realize that this was an NSV until like 3 days later, lol. The 2nd one is that I bought 2 pairs of jeans the other night. One of them was size 16 from the plus size section (everything in that section is stretch. I used to be glad, but now it irritates me). The other pair of pants is size 17, non-stretch from the Juniors Department! The 17's are actually tighter than the 16s, but I was just happy to get something from the juniors department at all, lol. And THEN! Last night I took a bath. I hadn't actually taken a bath in a while (still shower tho ), and it occured to me that I could sit in the bath and not be touching EITHER SIDE of the tub with my body! Yay! I've been through some frustrating times, and some times where I just resigned myself to the idea that I'd lost some weight, but I was always going to be bigger than average, but at least I'd stay healthy... but I'm getting back into the groove where I feel like this is going to work for me again, and I'm working it right as well.

Yippie Sarah! You are so right - these NSV's are certainly as exciting as seeing that scale drop. LOVED the bathtub one!

Great Nsv's. this is exactly what I mean when I say " do not let the numbers on the sclae dictate your success or failures with the band, think of all of the possitive things that you have accomplished since being banded

Got my second Fill Today, I am almost 2 months post Op. I have been getting lots of exercise and activities. Dusted off my Bike, etc. I have only lost 2 pounds the last 2 weeks. I started at 305 and I am hanging out at 280. My first fill was only .5 CC, got a 1.5 CC today for a total of 2 CC. I feel and look like I have lost more weight than the scale says, but it definately has me bummed out a bit. I do crave Sugar. I am hoping that I put on muscle. I'm wondering if more people know there Body Fat Percentage. I wonder if this is a good and accurate "NSV". I am down from a whopping 41% of 305 which is 125 Pounds of Fat to 35% of 280 (which is 98 pounds). Wondering if anyone else thinks about it in this way?

@@boccob81 I read somewhere on the forums that posture problems and weird muscle deficiencies that cause you to walk funny happen as the weight is rapidly lost. Basically your back and shoulder muscles are overcompensating for a stomach weight that's not there anymore, plus your abdominal muscles aren't fully healed from surgery yet. Best advice I found is to simple walk tall, sit straight up. If you're having trouble with your leg muscles though I'd be worried you're not getting enough Protein and your body is eating your muscles as fuel instead of fat. NSVs: I had to wrap string around my wedding rings today to tighten them up because they fell off my hands while washing in the bathroom. I also researched how to alter button up shirts so I don't have to buy all new for work just yet, just have a lot of sewing to do. I also went outside wearing a sleeveless shirt, to the grocery store, without an overwhelming sense of shame and self-consciousness. My upper arms still aren't nice to look at, but I just felt better about myself so I did it.

FEBRUARY SLEEVERS 2013....how you doing after you've been Sleeved

Hi Minnie - You're not alone!!!! I had lost 21 lbs by my 9th day out and my scale didn't budge for over a week. I am finally moving again after about 9 days of no loss. I think our bodies just need to catch up to the changes. Keep following your diet and walking everyday, it WILL pay off. Also, look at those Non-Scale-Victories (NSV) like how your clothes look, fit and feel. Congrats and don't lose hope. Try to keep things in perspective and don't let that evil little scale derail you. YOU GOT THIS!!!! -

Another big NSV today. I bought my third wardrobe since 1/31. I went from 52 inch jeans to 40 inch and 3XLT shirts to 1XLT. I'll probably be at 34 or 36 inch pants and LT shirts when I hit my goal. -

Last night I went to a Weekenders party. (If you're unsure of what that is, it's a company that sells clothing through home parties.) The last time I went to one of these parties was about two and a half years ago (before my surgery), and I had to buy the largest size they carried. Last night, I had so much fun trying stuff on! Just enjoying that process is a MAJOR NSV for me. What's even more exciting is that I was able to wear several pieces in a medium. I honestly can't remember the last time I wore anything that size! It was so exciting!

Blossom, cool NSV! I bet you'll be the first bandster to get whistled at! I've seen how pretty you are! Michelle, what kind of foods do you prepare in your restaurant? chicken fried steak is my sons' very favorite w/homemade mashed potatoes and cream gravy, and fried okra. Boy, that sounds like a perfect bandster meal, doesn't it? NOT!

I just passed a co-worker that I don't see on a daily basis in the hallway. She looked at me and smiled and said Have you lost weight? I hugged her neck!

It has been a great morning. I got dressed to go to work this morning for the first time since my surgery and everything felt a little big, including my shoes! Perhaps some of it is psychological, but, hey, I'll take it. I was also thrilled this morning that I found a Protein shake that I can tolerate very well. Isopure Low Carb Dutch chocolate. I was really struggling with trying to get my protein in this weekend, so I am happy have found a shake that will work for me. 50g of protein per 12 oz (2 scoops of powder) which sounds great to me. All in all, a very good morning! Brian:biggrin0:

That is a great NSV! Size 14!!!! Wow, you are doing great. I piled on a ton of weight after my parents passed away. I think the whole stress thing was too much for me. See you Tuesday! Great job!
