Major NSV -- 4.5 Months Out -- Great Health News!
sunnyd replied to Kris's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats! That's great news for you! I think being healthy again is the greatest NSV of all! -
On my 4 month "surgiversary" this week, I noticed I was feeling sleepy and lethargic. I took my blood pressure over a 4 hour period, and it was running about 95 / 55. I'm surprised I was up and walking around! Talked to my doctor. She had me cut my blood pressure medication dosage in half. I had already eliminated one of the two drugs I had been taking for blood pressure after my 3 month check-up. So I have gone from 2 pills twice a day to 1/2 pill twice a day. YEA! So far, my blood pressure is running about 105 / 65. I feel much better. Zumba class later this morning - I don't think my blood pressure will be low after that!

When I started I could only do it for a few seconds... Now a few minutes. A nice NSV for me.

NSV...Stretchy Leggings in...Gasp PUBLIC
apple-saucy posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
So I wore some stretchy capri length leggings out of the house to go to our little local grocery store last night. I had on a shirt that used to be tight on me but is now tunic length or looks like a maternity shirt now (LOL) so my rear end had full coverage...but I wore LEGGINGS OUT OF THE HOUSE! -
People who have never been large have no idea how great this NSV is! When it happened to me recently, my niece and nephew (2 years old twins) couldn't understand why I couldn't stop smiling. One of my favorite NSVs and I'm really happy for you. Ellen

I am so happy right now! What is your latest NSV? I really LOVE reading them!!!!!!

I've been up and down on weight many times in my life. 4(ish) years ago I was fitting into size 36 pants and I saved them in the hopes that one day I'd lose weight again and be able to fit in them. Well, yesterday I pulled them out of the closet and they fit great! YES! We just had a health screening here at work and I felt great when they weighed me. Although I'm still above my ideal weight, I'm on my way there! My blood pressure had gone back to normal, and I'm great on paper now! Just excited and wanted to share!

Ammisuu replied to okiekatt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

A Nsv That's Blowing My Mind!
SuperMom replied to his2my2our4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I hit 40 lb loss ....I thought about same thing. My 4 year old is HEAVY when you try to hold her and it is amazing that I have lost TWO of her now! LOLOL....how in the world were we carrying around that weight? My 20 year old son weighs 120 and he is much taller than me and no way could I lift him. When I get to goal weight I will be at 100 lb loss (I am hoping to get down to 135 and I am at 145 now) How in the world was I carrying around that weight????No wonder I was tired all the time!!!! Congrats!!!!!! on your NSV!!! HUGE NSV!!!! -
A Nsv That's Blowing My Mind!
LoserMama replied to his2my2our4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is an awesome NSV, congratulations! I've been contemplating that myself, while I'm in a stall, i'm trying to buoy myself up with realizing the volume that 57 lbs actually represents, instead of getting stuck on why its not moving faster. -
Congratulations! I think the NSV are the best and most encouraging. Keep up the great work!

Smashed out a 3 minute prone hold today! NSV for sure 3 months ago I couldnt prone longer than 30 seconds! Now just got to work on press-ups - still cannot even do one!

I went to Loft today and caught a major sale. A friend gave me a gift card before I could even fit into their clothes! I held onto it and used it today. I tried on a pair of size 12 shorts...too big...then a 10 and I thought...Oh no..this can't be!! I felt like Diva when I took a picture of my shorts. One of these days, I will figure out how to post pics. Mine all seem too big. My first goal is to weigh 150 (I am 164 now). Then I will set another goal of 5 pounds... I was so scared to have the sleeve after the LapBand nightmare...So glad I did. I am LIVING for the first time in many years. NSV for you... I waiter spilled a drink on me at a bar because he was staring at my boobs!! LOL Nina

I took my kids (ages 4 and 6) on a float trip yesterday! 50 pounds ago you could not have convinced me to get in a canoe! We had soooo much fun. Just thinking about the memories that I am making with my kids now brings me to tears! No more hiding in the house and wasting life. I look forward to each new day!

On A Major Stall, But With Multiple Nsvs This Week
Wolfgirl1978 replied to Catracks's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congrats on your NSVs!!! In another note, I've always wanted to go to Knotts Berry Farn. -
Ha ha, thats brilliant, what a great NSV!!! I wore a mini dress to work last week, and felt really self conscious all day, but when I went out for a walk around the block at lunch a guy literally just stopped dead in front of me looking at my legs, I had to walk around him to get past!!! It made me smile the rest of the day!

NSV- crying at GoodWill in the dressing room
myrori posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
So I really did not look in the mirror for the first 5 weeks, I honestly had no idea how much my body had changed. I went back to work and by day two my uniform pants were so large I asked to wear regular clothes the next day as my uniform should be arriving. The boss said it was ok, but it had to be business casual. So I had to head over to Good Will and get something. I grabbed a bunch of size 18 pants and one x shirts (formally I wore 22 tops and 24 pants), some jeans that looked new in different sizes and headed to the dressing room. When I tried on the sweater top and slacks I stood there and cried. i could not believe that was me looking back at me. I continued to try on the clothes and for the fist time in many many years I like what I seen below the neck line. For at least 10 years, when I looked in the mirror I only focused from the neck up. Funny thing was a few hours later in my head I was back to the old self image. I guess it will take a while to get to know the new body I have now and what is to come. -
Hey Everyone! I am so excited about my project this morning, I just have to share. I have had difficulties getting dressed in the morning because everything I try on is too big - not a familiar problem for me. Anyway, I decided it was time to ditch everything that fell into the "too big" category for good. In diets passed I always held on to some of my favorite big things, just in case. Not today - if it was a 20, 22 or 24 it is GONE. Most of the 18's went too. I have no concerns that I might find myself back into a 22 in a year. I love my sleeve. I found some stuff from skinnier times past that fit just fine and some 12/14's that almost fit. My neighbor might think I am leaving my husband - he kept watching me as I carried armload after armload of clothes out to my car. The trunk of my Camry is stuffed. I usually just take this kind of stuff to good will, but I might try to find a resale shop. It's a lot of clothes, expensive clothes (you all know Lane Bryant is not cheap) and I could use the extra money to supplement my wardrobe in the next couple of months. Thanks for listening - happy losing :thumbup:
