Finally...the Nsv I've Been Waiting For!
VJSlim replied to his2my2our4's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Awesome!! Congrats!! To me Clothes are the best NSVs - they give you instant pleasure when you realize the surgery has made all the difference in your life!! Would you believe me if I say I've NEVER worn a jeans and T in my life? I live in India and I always wear our 'traditional' clothes (Salwar Kameez - if you would like to google it ) I've dreaded wearing jeans coz my thighs are huge and I always felt like jeans would look too odd on me. I cant wait to lose inches in my thighs and wear my first pair of jeans & T !!! LOL -
Now that's an NSV! CONGRATS!

I have been waiting for the day that I could buy myself a sexy little black dress....well my friends, today was the day!! I don't have any pictures (yet) but it's a cute little black halter dress and I couldn't be happier in it!! I walked out of the dressing room and my 14 year old son said, "whoa!".

I Reached My Next Goal!
kimmy*custis replied to kimmy*custis's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I was just told nsv means non-scale victory...I thought it meant new sleeve victory...sorry about that! Either way, it is a victory for me! I changed the post a bit! -
Hi amica! Welcome back! What a great NSV!! I must confess, Friends...I need some encouragement today. I'm stuck again. I hit the 60 pound mark and my body just won't move any further. I keep going back and forth with the same 2-5 pounds. I walk at least a mile every day. At least 3 days/wk, I'm working with the weight machines at the gym. I'm not going over 1000 calories. I get in all my protein. I don't eat bread. I get all my water in. I'm just...ugh. I'm going to call the dietician shortly and see if she can help get me motivated again. I think my band has relaxed some because I'm back to at least a cup of food again. I just had a fill 2 weeks ago! My restriction was good for about 10 days. I'm trying to eat the leanest cuts of protein like chicken, fish and turkey. I've cut way back on the red meat. I'm taking my multi-vitamin (though I was without it for a few days). Could stress be affecting me, even though I'm not stress eating?

I have had so many NSVs in the last 3 months, but my favorite so far happened last weekend. I was working around the house and I noticed my shadow on the driveway and it had a visible waist! It has been years since my shadow was anything but a big blob with a head and legs. I was so excited. Other NSVs I have had include: Went down from 4X sweats to a 1X I can wear heels all day at work and my feet don't hurt at the end of the day I went shopping at the mall with my daughter for 3 hours and was not exhausted when we were done I no longer crave sugary rich desserts or high fat foods. Instead I crave cucumbers or turkey burgers. I can now see the cleft in my chin,and I only have 1 chin to look at:) I am no longer morbidly obese The seat belt in my van will fit around me and still have extra length to spare.

So Many Nsv..and A Few Sv Also :)
Stephanie Kelley posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my surgery on March 8th. I am down a little over 70 pounds which is actually not really hitting me yet. Here is what I have jumped for joy over. My scale will never hit the dreaded 300 mark again. It will also not hit 250. I have not been under 250 since my early 20's Bigger victories? I am no longer on ANY medication. supplements are the only thing I NEED. No more arthritis pain. NONE...EVER No more CPAP machine....and my kids are not afraid I am going to die in my sleep! No more antacids. No more blood pressure meds NONE!!! All erased from my life. YAY! Silly things to many that make me smile I ran 2 miles...and lived to tell about it...I did not even FEEL like I was going to die. My dog LOVES her 3 walks a day! (she has dropped a few pounds herself I am saving a TON of money...just the amount I was spending on soda and Snacks for my home was ridiculous! My kids are eating a better diet...hopefully they will not get my "fat" gene! and the #1 Victory Today my 1st pretty bra and pantie set was delivered and I can wear it proudly COMFORTABLY I have not had a pretty bra since I was 13 YEARS OLD !!!!! I feel FANTASTIC! -
20 min on treadmill and 10 min on bike. No back pain. Felt great! Also my stall is broken and I'm losing again. Was sleeved 4-24-12 and I'm down 51 lbs!

Hi gang! I've missed you! Something's up with my account settings and I'm not getting the email alerts anymore. Also when I try to use the App on my iPad or phone it says I'm not authorized for this forum. I hate I'm behind on lots of progress! I missed my 5/25 goal of 50 pounds, but that's okay it was my stretch goal. My initial goal was to be at 50 pounds by 6/21 and I'm at 49 pounds now (202.5) YAY! I think I'll do a mini stretch goal and try to be in onederland by 6/21. My 18 pants are getting loose, so I guess in another 5 pounds I'll need to go shopping again! I did have an AWESOME NSV yesterday. I went to the Starbucks near work (haven't been to that one in probably 9 months); the guy behind the counter said, "Did you used to come in here a lot?" "Wow! You've lost a lot of weight! You looked familiar but there was something different!" I do have to confess I've been avoiding my exercise like the plague though. Shame on me!!!

Great NSV, smaller clothes and doing physical activity that you couldn't do before are much more rewarding than eating that extra serving of food!

It's funny that getting your period is a NSV....but I agree it would be. Having irregular periods since my mid twenties, a little regularity in that department would be good. Thanks for the post. It's all the little things that make it worthwhile.

NSV is a "Non scale Victory". So anything you enjoy about your weightloss that doesnt have to do with the pounds on the scale. For example, I have ready that people are finally able to buckle a beat on a plane without an extension or able to run for the first time, or no longer have to buy stuff at plus size stores. Those cool things about getting smaller....

I had surgery 5/8/12 so it is a few days short of one month. I lost 10 lb prior and 10 the week after, then stalled. I decided to put the scale up b/c I was obsessing. I plan to only weigh on fill appt days in the beginning. However, I had my third NSV. I am usually a size 20. I went to Target to look for swim suit tops b/c in 6 weeks we have a big trip planned. I was going to buy one a size smaller. However, as I began to try the plus size tops on, none fit. I went to the regular sizes and picked up a few tops. The one suite that I liked the most was only in a size LARGE. I tried it on and it FIT! Not plus size, not XXL, not XL, but LARGE! WOW, only one month out and I got to see LARGE on a reciept. Holy cow, that is truely what I needed. I also ran for the first time last night in over 3 years. I walked a mile and thought I would try to jog some of the next. I ended up jogging MOST of the second mile. I stopped 4 times for 30 seconds. I was very excited in the difference in my ability. I dont know if I have lost more than the 20 b/c I have not weighed but I sure love the NSV. Thanks for listening. Katy

Before surgery, I would sweat like a pig a the drop of a hat. People would often ask me if I was feeling OK. I was always fighting the thermostat wars with my wife. Now, at 7 weeks post op, the only time I sweat is when I go to the gym and even then, not nearly as heavy as pre-op. This is a NSV you can look forward to.

Yeaaaa! NSV!

Huge Nsv!! Wearing My Engagement Ring For The First Time In 4 Years!!!
SashaWLS posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am so excited!!!!!! I haven't been able to wear my engagement ring since I had my daughter 4 years ago. Yesterday I got my second fill and found I was down another 5 pounds and have officially dropped to below my pre-baby weight... So I decided to try it, and sure enough, it fits!!! While it was very tight at first this morning, my finger seems to have adapted around it and I can now twist it and slide it around on my finger just fine. It's not strangling me!!! I am so so happy!!!
