3 Days Post Op And Not Sure How To Feel?
galpizza replied to galpizza's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow, liquids kept you full for 10 days?! I feel like they don't keep me full now! Does full feel the same as it did before? I mean, the liquids take away my starving feeling, but I don't feel full at all. Hmm, I may just turn to tuna too! Thanks for replying! Can't wait for a little nsv!! -
Congratulations to all. I haven't flown since my surgery and am anxious now to see how it all happens! Good Job everyone! You deserve every NSV you get! Ciao bellas! KT

Which part of your journey was the hardest?
Dairymary replied to krystalrose219's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Maintenance. Definitely. The thrill of losing weight and NSVs are gone and everything gets tedious and boring and old bad habits start knocking on the door. Life still happens and now you have to deal with it without your old pal, food. All that other stuff is temporary.....Maintenance is forever. -
Congrats! I cannot wait for that feeling of being able to fit comfortable and not ask for the extender. Btw, excuse me if I sound dumb, but what is NSV? Or DH? I always see these terms and I'm just trying to figure out what they mean...

YAY! I LOVE NSV's! Good for you and keep up the GREAT work! :thumbup:

GREAT NSV!!! I have to remind myself that I don't need to pull my seat up. Since I have shrunk, my belly doesn't touch the wheel and I think "Oh I am too far away" and then realize I am not.

October Sleevers, how are you doing?
Ignatius replied to The New Kel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Just made the cut--sleeved on 10/31. Everything is progressing well. I've lost 21.2 lbs. since the operation and 46.4 since I started the pre-op diet. My last two weigh-ins were much lower than my first two weeks post-op, but that's fine. Seems to be very common. I can advance from soft foods to the regular diet after my next NUT appt., Dec. 22. I've never craved a grilled chicken breast so much in my life! For NSVs, clothes are definitely looser, and I should be within a few weeks of moving down a size. I've ordered a few shirts that are a size smaller and fit snugly, but not too tight. I'm also getting closer to wearing my winter pea coat from two years ago. Still tired some evenings if it's been a particularly busy day, but not fatigued like I was the first week or two out. I return to work this Monday. Mixed emotions. This recovery time has made me realize there are certain aspects of my job that need to change, and if they don't in a few months, I'll feel comfortable looking for new opportunities elsewhere. Now, off to scrambled egg and cottage cheese for dinner. -
I am keeping to my training commitment for the 1/2 marathon this spring. Today it was 13 degrees. I ran 5 miles (also a very hilly route) with my friend and we finished feeling very good about ourselves. When I got back home, the hair that was hanging out of my polar fleece hat was all wet with sweat...then I realized I also had ice chunks in there! Too funny! Not bad for someone who has been a couch potato at various times of my life!

Ok, today I had to stop my husband from walking out of the house....in a pair of my skinny jeans. Bahahahahaha! This would NEVER have happened in my size 22 days. He's like....Ok, I thought they fit weird, but I couldn't figure out why. D'Oh!

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. -
1. Wore a minidress for the first time in my life 2. It is a size 4!!!!! 3. No spanx 4. No thigh chafing!

Scared/second thoughts
Healthy_life2 replied to shanshan's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Being scared and nervous can make you question your decision. Normal pre surgery jitters. I’m sure your surgeon gave you the statistics and risk/complication facts. Your team is going to take good care of you and manage your pain with medication. The pain is temporary, your results will be amazing. As for all the horror stories, I think its human nature to gravitate toward the negative posts. It will fuel your pre surgery aniety. Try to balance things out by reading the positives. Surgery before and after’s https://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/297668-i-want-to-see-before-after-pics-contd/ Success stories https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/1298-weight-loss-surgery-success-stories/ NSV's https://www.bariatricpal.com/search/?q=NSV I think many of usthat have bounced back from surgery quickly and had no complications don’t get represented. People that are maintaining no longer need support leave the site. Most people posting are in weight loss mode, a few with complications and people that have gained weight. -
Do not use this thread... I had no idea what a NSV was... now I know! Use this thread instead.

Non Scale Victories!
Ms skinniness replied to jar312's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
CONGRATS! I love these NSVS. I loved the first time my ring fell off my finger and I didn't notice it. Then I decided that when my other ring that was smaller would fly off my finger that I would be done with my weight loss. Well, it still hasn't happened yet but I think my weight loss is good. I'm stuck at this weight with a bounce of 3 lbs. Not bad, i do like my body size. Ironically, now I'm focusing on my face! I so desperately need a face lift. LOL Nothing is ever going to be perfect. -
Flame Free Friday Confessions!
Lilee84 replied to Lilee84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! We're not posting NSV's (although I suppose mine was a bit of an NSV, I was emphasizing the more sneaky vindictive purposeful torture of my ex) we're posing Flame Free Friday Confessions So if you've got a juicy confession, we wanna hear it! -
Tell me what's on your mind! Got a question you need answered? Ask! Got something you want to talk about? Talk! Got an NSV you wanna share? Share! Sleeve related or not, I wanna know what you have to say! What's on my mind today is a tiny NSV from this morning... So, I've decided not to buy clothes until I hit onederland (35lbs to go!) so this morning I put on my size 24 work pants and had to pin them in two separate places! Holy crap batman! Also, the shirt I'm wearing today was too small two months ago. I've gone from a tight 24 in the waist to a comfortable 18, and a 2Xl to an XL in the top Oh, and my stall has finally ended! Halelujah praise the Lord!

Are You Buying Sexy Clothes Now?
coops replied to Queen of Crop's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Erm, not for me... i really have to work on my self esteem and confidence in this department!! I am desperate for new underwear, saggy baggy knickers are really not attractive, but I am sorta confused on what to go for now!! I suppose I just have to pluck out the confidence to buy a few different ones to see what shape is best? I think it is the saggy tummy skin that stops me, it is just awful and I will do anything to conceal it!! On the clothes front, I am struggling to know what suits me now... is it too young? (I am ONLY 41...lol), too short, too long, too tight, too fitted... oh I could go on! Again I lack the confidence to go into the shops and try things on. I think I fear that it will either be too small or look awful! Like I say, I am working on this part of the new me! Good for you though... getting new clothes and undies is a great NSV, especially when they make you feel good! =] -
Very disappointing Surgeon Check-up
texashopeful replied to tbarnes18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too was disappointed with my follow up appointments. Everyone was super nice, but I have still not met the actual dietician, always a nurse. Several of them had the procedure done, but I don't feel like I am loosing like I should either...I would like to ask the dietician a few questions. I haven't lost a lb or inch in over a week! I actually went up and then back to the original place, and my BMI is very high, so I thought I should loose quickly. The nurse said I was on the right track, and my body was thinking it was starving so it's holding on. She said likely it will start going back down. I haven't had a single thing that wasn't high in protein or on the list, so I am quite frustrated. I got 2 books (1 from my Dr. and 1 from the hospital) and they don't say the same things about food. She said to follow my Dr. book, but it doesn't go into much detail. It is so confusing and a little frustrating. I keep telling myself that I am heading to be a skinny me, so I need to figure out what works for my skinny version. Did anyone else "stall" for a week or 2? No NSV's either...I haven't lost a single inch in over a week. -
I was noticing the NSV of seeing my stomach go down for the past four weeks. However, as of Saturday, my stomach has dramatically inflated. What could be happening?

I know my own concept of 'personal size' began shifting when I EMOTIONALLY realized I was no longer usually the largest person in the room. And the sudden discovery there were entire STORES that sold clothing mismarked without "XXXX" in the size tag. Perhaps the BIGGEST 'NSV' I've never listed here, is when I suddenly realized when wiping in the bathroom, I no longer was a "go between" but suddenly had the optional "go around" approach. Body dysmorphia in our psychic software is subject to a lot of discussion from time to time. Being able to slip between partially open doors, or when doing home chores, being able to fit into a space previously inaccessible, was a clue for me as much as 'size' on my clothing. Getting rid of all the old XXXX stuff helped, but I did keep one set of 'fat clothes' just to remind of where I had been. It's odd to hold those old 56-58 sports shorts up now, but there I was. And here I am, still a bit confused about 'what size AM I'...... seeing that reflection in the store windows without the 'usual crowd' following my every step.....

Great NSV, Diane! Thanks for sharing this with us. *hugs*

What a great NSV and what a great looking bunch of lass's. I can see a slight resemblance in the cheek curvature of everyone. P.S., I hope to look as great as mom does when I am her age and I would hope I look just as great after having 10 kids...wow! Hehehe, I fell completely apart after 2 kids. I was 145 when I got pregnant with my last one and skyrocketed to 240lbs . Not even 3 kids yet.. I plan on taking one of these pictures when I see my mom in July or August and my sister. I used to be the smallest and now I am the biggest..even still after dropping the lbs, I'm still the biggest. Can't wait to "not be" anymore:cool: .
