NSV and scale victory
Stum-belina replied to shadst8's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You look great, I love NSV's..... Keep up the good work! -
NSV is an abbreviation for what? I keep seeing it on WLS websites and can't figure out its meaning...
-
wow! that's fantastic! Congratulations -- I too have not participated in Halloween in ages, but am looking forward to it next year -- Buying off the rack has to be up there in great NSVs! Congratulations!

Congrats, the NSVs are as good, and sometimes better than just watching the numbers on the scale drop!

I lost a letter. For the first time since high school, there is only one solitary letter on my bra size. I was not expecting this, but after struggling to find one to fit well, tried to drop from a double cup to a single and BOOM! It fits. I suspect this means I can now wear shirts with buttons. Wonderful stuff, but kind of like when I lost a shoe size it was completely unexpected and has left me bemused.

BeckyinTexas replied to vinesqueen's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Vinesqueen.....Repeat after me, I don't need no stinking scale to tell me I'm doing great! You are too you know. Look at all the NSVs you included, man oh man, those count more than what the scale reads to me any time. I try to only weigh when I go for my fills or else I have to go see the doctor for something and they make me weigh. I decided when I started this journey I wasn't going to be a slave to my scale cause I would feel exactly like you are right now and we just can't do that to ourselves! Hang in there kiddo, I mean my goodness, you bought a size L and how long has it been since you could do that? You've been so supportive to me and for that I thank you! Now come on, forget about those scales and congratulate yourself on how well you're doing! -
@@BigReid21 - that's hard to say, stalls vary in length of time. stay focused and it will pass and be prepared for the next stall. they happen. if you haven't measured yourself, do it now. you may be losing inches when the scale isn't moving- NSV!

So I have been a member of VST since before my surgery, 5 1/2 months ago. I have longed to submit an NSV thread, but never felt like I had a "legitimate" one to share. I recently went on R&R, home to my parents. Those who know me here know that I am a frustrated slow loser. Well my first victory is I guess a scale victory; By the time I was set up at my parents house and got to the gym, 8 days had passed since my last weigh in and ... I lost 8 pounds! Baffled doesn't begin to describe, I ate eggs benedict, chocolate, high tea cakes and sandwiches, and fancy cheese plates in those 8 days! So that was pretty groovy. My NSVs however, are these: going to the gym I realized that I was tying my shoes with zero strain or effort, just bending down, and tying them. Though the memories have become cloudy of life pre-op, I definitely know that tying my gym shoes used to be dangerous and depressing. To reach my laces I used to risk throwing my back out or had to lift my foot up to a high stair and even then felt the struggle to do this simple act around my fat. Now - bend and tie. The other NSV is that I was able to pour myself into a size 16. Due to vanity sizing and a discount brand, this doesn't really mean SO much, but when I stop to remember that I started out in a 24 - and that at my highest ever I was even in a snug 28- then I realize that yeah, I've made some progress. I bought a blouse from Old Navy, right from the store, in a regular XL. The embroidered terry bathrobe that came with my hotel room fit - not loosely, but it fit. I can scratch between my shoulder blades without an instrument. Although it was stretched to its limit, I was able to use the actual seatbelt in the airplane without and extention, and was able to bring down the tray, though that was a snug fit. Still, it was impossible before. I fit into the seat without my hips painfully bubbling over the arms. I'm in a 38D, from a starting point of 42G I think I've lost 6 inches off my hips and I think 3 inches off my waist and one off my calves. All of my old jewelry fits again and my newer jewelry is all loose - rings that I could barely shove onto my ring finger now fit my pointer and middle fingers. And as for that scale? I am mere ounces away from having lost 70 pounds, and barely 6 away from the milestone of 75 pounds lost. This is really happening, isn't it?! =)

My very first every NSVs
juliarh replied to Globetrotter's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I am sooo thrilled for you -- those NSVs are not small, but huge!! And 70 pounds is not losing slowly!! You've lost almost 15 pounds a month!! That's an enormous amount of weight!! I say CONGRATULATIONS and keep up the good work -- and I second that we need pics! -
My first major NSV - Today I did the grocery shopping. I even pushed the cart. We went to a huge grocery store and did a huge shopping and I walked THE WHOLE WAY and my back didn't hurt AT ALL. Crying with happiness here. The main reason for my having the surgery was because I couldn't stand for more than 5 minutes, much less walk, without being in agony from my back.

Congrats on another NSV. We have so many and never tell about things that others don't think is important to us. -
I had quite a few NSV I couldn't wait for, they were getting my wedding rings to fit, cross my legs when sitting, not have to shop in plus sizes anymore, weigh less than 200lbs, feel confident taking pictures I have accomplished all of these in 3 months! I still want to get off my blood pressure meds and have a normal bmi, I'm working on it!

This past week made 4 months since my vertical sleeve gastrectomy.... Sometimes I can't believe it's real. As of 2 days ago, I am 75 lbs down since my surgery weight. And I feel FANTASTIC! This is absolutely the best thing I've ever done for myself. PS: Are y'all still getting the error messages for blogs / gallery??. I'm just dying to update! LOL I have pics of what I've been eating as well as some NSV pics that I can't wait to share.
