I have to have MRI scans every now and again and hadn't had one since being banded. For those that don't know, you lay on a table, are strapped down and then the table slides you into a round tight capsule where it takes very noisy (think jackhammer) scans of your body......it must be horrible for people who are claustrophobic. Today I noticed that when I was being slid into the capsule that I didn't need to almost dislocate my shoulders to fit my arms through the gap and also that I didn't need to take a huge breath in to stop myself from getting jammed in the gap due to the size of my tummy!!!!!! :thumbup:

Congrats! I remember how fun it was when I started fitting into smaller clothing. NSV's are everything to me. Keep up the good work! I always lost really really slow before surgery. And now almost everything I bought after surgery is too big. (And as much as I think it's a great NSV, it's a double edged sword. I hate shopping for some things, like bras. Now I'm having to shop again, but its less fun since I'm broke from surgery) Congrats again, keep up the good work.

Hi. Here's an early NSV in my process. I will be in MX for my 35th birthday recovering from surgery. I told one of my staff at work about the liquid diet.... she's a lovely person but 98 pounds so doesn't really "get" it. Anyway, her first comment was "Oh, we'll have to celebrate your birthday early. Do you want to order Michelle's (the best bakery in town) like a week before you guys fly out?" Normally, I would've immediately thought that I should do that and not "miss out" on anything... My NSV is that I realized I have to change my whole attitude toward food. My birthday will not be about celebrating with food. It is not about where we're going for dinner and/or birthday cake. I'll happily put a single candle in my broth and have my sweet little niece (my best friend's daughter...both are going with me to MX) make me a card with little hearts and her best "fancy" handwriting," hug me with the most unconditional love, and tell me happy birthday. Whoohoo! I can celebrate without food. Seems trivial, but I truly believe that for me, it is a NSV. Kelli

Hi all... It has been a while since I have been on here. I can honestly say life is sooooo different!!! I can't imagine ever going back to where I was before. I know you all understand what I am talking about! Well My biggest NSV to date is my new man! As most of you know, I mentioned in older blogs that one thing my weight hindered was my love life. I was single for over 5 years during my biggest years. I have recently found the love of my life! He is amazing and he is everything I prayed to find in a man. He thinks I am beautiful even though i am no where near my goal weight. He is so good to me and has added 2 wonderful children to my life. I don't remember a time when I was this happy. I thank God every day for the changes in my life over the last year. I am down 110lb since surgery. I am at 182lb and a size 12 at the moment. I have not been very good about sticking to my high protein diet but I have been holding steady for about 2 months now. Its nice to know I can eat normal and maintain a steady weight. I do want to get down another 20+ pounds but I have time. I hope you are all doing as wonderful! That your prayers are coming to pass and that your joy is as great as mine.... Love you all... Amber

Yep - brought back bad WW meeting flashbacks for me! LOL. I like the idea of an addiction therapist and a group session where convening is rotated. Nice - I'll start doing some looking around here. And I'm going because I've read those same studies! I want to find a group i'm likely to at least be willing to go back to, even if not always anxious to. It was good hearing people both talk about NSVs, losses, anniversaries AND frustrations and stalls and regains - even complications. All the same as is on this site pretty much, but in person. I can see though that you all are definitely where I'm more apt to turn! Thanks for letting me rant and rave!

I started walking after the 1st month. I started out with a goal to walk 10,000 steps each day. Took many months, but I finally got to that point. http://www.bariatricpal.com/blog/9018/entry-31216-nsv-2-you-best-step-off-b-hatch/

No such thing as a "trivial" NSV. Each one is important, because you are important!

Well has many of you know I threw my back out two weeks before surgery & was completly not walking for most of that time. So the Hidden blessing was that all my neighbors/friends/family knew this & had seen me taking 15 mins to get into cars for doctor appts & stuff. I am a closet bandster. Many have helped out cutting the grass or walking the dog. So when I had my surgery I just continued to tell them how bad my back was & that it wasn't any better & the Docs said at least 2 more weeks. In reality my back has been much better BUT having 5 NEW HOLES in my gut have made walking & moving difficult. OK so here is the Nsv - it a small one but still made me so happy. A neighbor saw me outside & came over to see how I had been doing. She said that she could see I wasn't feeling well because I look like I had lost weight.LOL She said my face looked skinner. I said really- I haven't been eating that much because of the drugs for my back.LOL LOL I am down 15pds. total--8 pds since surgery, only 9 days ago. WHOO HOO!!!

I started a new job on Monday. On Wednesday a coworker said, "I think you went to school with my husband". She told me his name which sounded vaguely familiar....lets face it, I graduated 30+ years ago! She then went on to say, "He said you were heavy in school and I told him it must be someone with the same name because you were VERY THIN!"

Like the 50s song "Little Thing Mean A Lot" Even a NSV when things are stalling.[emoji13] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app -
tips to keep a stall from bumming you out?
Kindle replied to tiredmama's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
The best way to avoid stalls is to continue to follow your meal plan and STAY OFF THE SCALE!!!! Seriously, if you don't weigh, you won't be subjected to depression from the stupid numbers that don't really mean anything. Measure your success by how you feel and NSVs because those are the things that matter. If you follow the plan you will be successful. Or, you can just keep stepping on the scale everyday and keep making yourself miserable. -

NSV - First time in 25 years told to stop losing weight
bdcsail posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am just over 8 months post VSG. I am lucky to not have had any complications. I was able to get to my goal weight. I chose to have a breast lift and tummy tuck at 7 months post sleeve which I know is early but the right choice. I am 6 weeks post plastic surgery and just had my follow up appointment, I laughed when she sternly told me to not lose anymore weight. I can honestly say I would never have thought that I would ever have heard that again in my life. I do notice that it has been a full life style change but I am glad that I do feel I live a regular life. I know that I am sure to have obstacles over the years to come and it could be easy to fall back into old habits but I am sure my new tummy will keep me in line. This forum has been a great support and I am glad to have found it. -
Ok.. this is funny so be ready to giggle.. Katerzz's NSV of the day: When your nurse whos giving you an unfill tells you its time to retire my pants. She tells me, "they are wayyyy to big on you i cant believe you can keep them up" (btw.. the pants.. i love them they are black silky pants that ive had for years Granted, almost 70 lbs later.. well ya you get the picture) HAHAHAHA I'm loving it... (i think the fresh water is going to my head after that unfill)

I went to meet some friends at a local club. I got there after they did and was standing at the bar getting my drink. Kinda looking around for them. I look up and see them and wave get my drink and go over. They were kinda laughing when I got there and I asked them what was so funny. My friend said well we looked at you and said is that Kristie her boyfriend said where, she said at the bar. He said where I don't see her. She said right there in the brown shirt. He said I don't think so. Thats when I turned around and waved at them. And they were like omg it is Kristie. They didn't even recognize me!!!!!!!!!! I've only lost 50 pounds but boy did that make my night and the next week!!!!! IT was WONDERFUL. I know I said only 50 pounds let me rephrase I've LOST 50 POUNDS in THREE MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO
