December 2012 --- Band Buddies Unite!
UntamedR replied to LadyLeigh2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Being able to sit comfortably in airplane seats. Being able to walk/trot without hiding my heavy breathing. Having more room in my car. (Downsized from van to a sexy equinox but have limited room). There are othrrs but my Token NSV (non scale victory) will be being able to fit what once was my favorite winter skirt. Its been around 10-15 years. I kept it as a visual reminder & it now hangs on the closet door across the room from my bed. -

I think all my NSVs will have something to do with clothes. I have a beautiful pair of pants from Nordstroms that I have not worn in years. I refused to get rid of them and yes they are still in my closet. They are my motivation. I told my nutritionist that I don't have a number set as a goal. I want to get out of Lane Bryant! (LOL) -

So what about NSVs. What is something small that you are going to be proud of? I think I'll be quite happy when my boots slide up easily over my calves. What's yours? -
The pictures tell it all!!!! Current weight 162.5!!

Now that I am so close to my goal of 150 I have developed new habits lol one of which will probably be bad eventually lol but hell I went years without bcuz of my weight. My addictions are shopping for new clothes and shoes and crossing my legs!! Lol I have been to the mall everyday this week!!! Lol I am very cost conscience bcuz I only hit the clearance racks and deals in shoes. So I haven't spent to much but I have spoiled myself. But my bday is dec 23 and I'm finished Xmas shoppin for the family already. And I have no clothes now since I have lost 76lbs. Now that I don't have so much extra weight I can now wear the heels I've been wanting to wear! It feels so good to shop on the clearance rack and always find ur size!! Now the crossing legs addiction...I LOVE IT!!! I haven't been able to cross my legs in years!!! Now that I can do with ease I can't help but to always sit like that now! I think it's so sexy and I feel sooooo sexy!!! This surgery was the best thing I cud have ever done for myself and my family and I hope anyone that is thinking about this surgery will definitely get it!!! IT'S SOOO WORTH IT!!!!

2 Great NSVs, new image of ourselves
Summerrain replied to Banterwonder's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What fantastic nsvs!! -
I decided that Christmas is the best time to treat myself to a new outfit that fits my new size. I also am going to the in-laws and have not seen most of these people in year, so I want to knock their socks off. I knew I wanted something out of my comfort zone, and I did. It was fun to know that I could go into any shop in the mall and find clothes that fit me for the first time in my life. Even though I felt overwhelmed by all the options. I now understand how young girls and thin people can spend so much time shopping for the right outfit. I also know that I have no sense of fashion, so I asked for help. What an eye opening experience. I have not completed by journey but this sure was a fun NSV, and I am going to look fabulous at the in-laws I hope each of you treat yourself to a new Christmas outfit that fits your new thinner you.

When I chose my screen name last year, I knew that I would live up to the name. I am literally a new person since my vsg on 12/2/11. The girl I was (i say girl, but im 33) was 266 lbs, unhappy, and beginning to go downhill healthwise. I started the process and it saved my life. If I had not, I would never have discovered and conquered severe sleep apnea and high blood pressure. This has been a complete life style change. I am down to 163 lbs. I hit exactly 166 on my surgiversary, which was amazing to me that I lost 100 lbs! I went from a tight 22 to an 8, 3xl to medium, heck my shoes even went from 8 1/2 to 7 1/2!! I will say that this wasn't always an easy road. It was hard to conquer my eating, portions, and "head hunger" in the beginning. The weight melted off the first six months, and after that every pound was work. I still have the motivation to keep going. My personal goal for me is 133, which would leave me at half the woman I was. I excercise with zumba and watch my carbs. I drink water and limit sugary drinks. Have I had bad days? Heck yeah, sometimes too many. But my motivation kicks in and I get back on track. I log my food and excersice when im focused lol. I will also say I hit a moment of depression around month 7 and 8. But sunny days came when I realized I am in control! My many nsvs include being able to ride amusement park rides with my kids, playing and running with them, wearing skinny jeans and if I say so myself looking darn good in them! I bought myself some beautiful leather boots just because they can zip up over my calves. My bro in law blurted to my mother in law behind my back that I look like a model! My mom didnt recognize me at the mall last week. My husband and kids are so proud of me, they loved me then and now. Last but not least, the biggest goal for me was to regain my self confidence. At the risk of sounding full of myself, I longed for the feeling I had when I was slimmer, the feeling of being able to walk into a room with my head held high and knowing I look damn good!! In essence, im not a new girl, I just got the old me back. And I will say im better than before because of my experience. I struggle at times with the attention, because I feel like I was human before this and people were mean. Ive been humbled by this and just thank the Man above for allowing me to go through all of this and appreciating every second, pound, and inch.

I have a problem with getting boots past my ankle. I have a lympdema in my leg. I finally was able to get the zipper past my ankle. So that was a great NSV for me.

2 Great NSVs, new image of ourselves
Banterwonder posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1.The deli manager whose store I have frequented for many years, did a triple take yesterday! He said he almost did not recognize me !. Until I placed my regular order ! Made me smile and feel great all week long ! 2. I was talking to a colleague who I speak to about once every 2 weeks. As we were chatting, I realized that she didn't know who she was talking to !!! She said she didn't recognize me until she heard my voice! I think sometimes we cannot see our "new " selves. -

Attention ! Australian Sleevers
Aussiegirl replied to Lavea's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
AussieLady, I embeded the video in the following topic http://www.verticals...52-nsv-changes/..hopefully you can view it there Shell - WAY to go *insert happy dance*...you look awesome. Thank you all for your feedback and comments, especially about the video and the negative people. I know I have to walk away from this person, but he was my biggest supporter over the last year, being there encouraging me for almost every challenge I set myself. But he lies to me, about things that are not worth it, so how can I believe what he says about me...his actions and words dont aline and it just does my head in. Talking to him about it only leads to more lies..anyway I will find a way to put some distance be healthy mind and spirit. New Year...finally New ME!! BTW I am open to be set up if anyone know and nice elligible single men hahaha:) -
Almost 4 months out results and nsv
gettinMeBack posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I went shopping today because I have NO clothes and the store I shop at had a major sale!! Half off already clearance priced items. So I went in there and cleaned up in some things especially since I only have 15lbs to lose before I reach goal now! Here is some pics of me in the dressing room tryin things on, and in shock bcuz I can fit in a size SMALL IN JUNIOR SIZES!!!! I was in shock completely and almost cried!!! I haven't been able to wear a small in anything in YEARS!!! Needless to say I bought everything I liked lol but going from a size 3x-4x in plus size to a small-med in junior sizes will make u want everything that looks good lol -

NSV and almost surgi-versary mini-update
favoredone posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hey Guys!! Well, it's been almost a year... I won't be at goal by wednesday, unless I miraculously lose 75 lbs in 2 days!!! LOL... anywho, I'm grateful and a little more focused now!! Hopefully, the next 6 months will be filled with sweat, loose clothing and plumping muscles!! My NSV happened last weekend when I went home to be in a wedding.. I was the MOH and had a wonderful time.. My mom burst into tears when she saw me... and my best friend almost walked past me!!! LOL... I try to keep these events in my mind as I struggle with not having lost 100#s yet.. When I put things into perspective... I'm doing darn good!! No meds, besides allegery stuff... I can wear clothes in a regular department store (which has added to my shopping addiction) and I have influenced a number of people (several co-workers) to pursue WLS to help them achieve and maintain a better quality of life.. The real update is coming on Wednesday (I hope)... Be encouraged, no matter where you are on this journey.. and remember, we are changing our lives one meal at a time!!!! (now) (before)
