I hope you get well quickly so you can discover more NSV's!

Are you happy with your sleeve
GastricSleeve2018 replied to Sassytallgurl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm back again. I am getting all my fluids in, pooped (tmi but the best NSV right after surgery), walking around the block 1x a day, walking a lot in my house, etc. 198 lbs down from 220. Sleeved June 11th. I do not regret this one bit. I wish I would have cared more when I started getting fat. Alas, this is the best tool for weight loss. -
NSV: yesterday a business man came into to see one of the bosses. He gave me a candy bar first and then the paperwork. I said I would be sure to give to supervisor. he says no candy is for you. I said its ok, he was , NO ITS FOR YOU. I said thank you , that I had had weight surgery so I tend to stay away from candy. He looked at me up and down and said you don't need surgery (probably didn't understand what I had said). It's nice knowing that I look fit enough to where I would not need one, lol. Working out 25 out of 31 days definitely helps!

VSG on 4/16/18: My journey
TexasMommy80 replied to TexasMommy80's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Small NSV: I have never been able to wear this tank that I got as a gift from my boyfriend, because my belly was too big. It doesn’t fit perfectly yet, but I will be able to wear it to the gym by football season! -
I just had an NSV that I didn’t think I’d ever have. Apparently I don’t have thigh chafing anymore. No cub rub. No more shorts under skirts and dresses. I have had that since puberty and was convinced half the problem was being over weight and half the problem was the way my thighs were built. But omg. My thighs don’t rub together anymore. It is kinda freaking me out!

The one thing you could not live without post surgery
Frustr8 replied to Oceanlove's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think, for me hands down a little a little emotional support from those I love would be very cool. Just like my first bike, the first pair of high heels, the first time,i tried to steer that bulky,piece of e n gineering we call an automobile, someone to say Hey its Okay, you are Not going to kill yourself doing this! Oh that is something the little teeny ME inside craves this. Yes,to the average bystander I look like a big Obese GrownUp Person. but deep down inside Little Girl Frustr8 worries? What if I can't make a success of this all? and telling her Just Shut Up is being cruel to my quivery foundation. Like the Little Engine that Could I keep chanting I Think I Can I think I can but a" surrounder" like Cammarays friend who gave her a NSV by saying" Yes I can see a change" that would be SO COOL! -
Well Cammarays. you are sparkling for me from afar, and Rosie what a lovely occurance for you, you are literally in your 2nd Youth with such a petite size. Reading these NSV firms the resolve of Pre Surgery Chicks like Me. We say" Hey they could do it, If I firm my resolve,keep following the diet and exercise rules, I think,I can too!" and we keep chugging along, even with doldrums on either side, toward our future finishes. Thank you for your shining examples!🙉🙈🙊😛

GALS who started their journey over 300 lb+<br /> +
Frustr8 replied to Frustr8's topic in The Gals' Room
Hey don't despair, your body is still confused and trying to realign itself. Remember about the NSVs the the non surgical victories, you might lose inches before a great big weight loss. Your feet might get less plump, your tummy might not be as tightly fat, the poundage might stay the same and things might redefine. Suspect this is why the veterans tell you to take measurements, them when you're blue maybe your wrists, waist etc might still have decreased in size. Everything gonna be all right, my dear, you'll get past this as many,others have before!😛 -
So I had a NSV today and I just had to share! I’ve been very depressed since my surgery because four days after my surgery, I’m five weeks post op, I got a staph infection in one of my incision sites and had to have it drained and have a drain put in for almost two weeks due to an abscess. I was very depressed even my coworkers were worried even though I was still home and I isolated myself from everyone. It took a very long time for the incision to close and I was beginning to worry. Well with that being said, today my friend who is a medical assistant and helping me through this confirmed that my incision is officially closed!!!! No more band aids or butterfly sutures!!! This has officially been the best day ever. I called the surgeons office and told them, they were aware she was watching it and I asked if I could start working out again and they gave me the green light!!! This has been a big day for me today 🙏🏼

given some more time it will even out mostly by going away. this one was a great NSV for me - putting my wedding ring back on after years of it sitting in a drawer. then you may need it resized but wait for a few months

If You Knew Then What You Know Now...
Sadiebug replied to Em_Jay75's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Follow your program guidelines 100% - just because you can do something outside the guidelines doesn't mean you should. It is so much easier to get into good habits from the start vs. trying to change them later when you see bad things creeping in. Lean on your support system as much as possible, especially dieticians to get new ideas for things to try that are within your guidelines. Don't get too focused on the numbers. Take lots of pictures and measurements and focus on the NSV's. And lastly don't sweat the small stuff. It's a huge emotional rollercoaster and getting worked up about how many pounds you did or didn't lose in the last day or two or if you have "stalled" because you didn't lose weight in the past 24 hours is just not worth it. -
I had a NSV tonight that made me smile...my bath towel wrapped all the way around me without any gaps
-
only a few of us on Bariatric Pal can say that,i vote that a bono fide NSV!👍
-
Gosh how wonderful that is! I had a kid come up to me and ask "Are you fat or a woman?: although I may not ever see little Mr Smartmouth again, it would be a NSV not to field such questions again. See I always felt like I was cute inside it has been troubling to to be making the outside match!😭😪

Never in a million years did I think these pants would fit me again!!! Woohoo made it to a 12 and one of my old favorite pairs of jeans! Sent from my SM-J727T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am down from a size 28 to a solid 20. I can even fit into some 18/20s. The motivation I feel when I see myself in these smaller clothes is incredible. I almost don't recognize myself because the transformation is pretty drastic. I met with a personal trainer yesterday that they offer at my office's fitness center and got some basic info. He is going to give me 2 free "trial" sessions if I sign up for at least 2 additional sessions. I am pretty sure I am going to sign up. I am making this the summer of SleeveinIL! I can't be the mother, wife, caregiver and anything else I want/need to be unless I am healthy. Food is fuel! I see the scale moving again and that is also very motivating for me as well. NSV this week...taking a bath (first since before surgery) and my behind and thighs weren't mashed up against the sides of the tub not allowing the water to flow between the front and the back of the tub. The water was able to move around and nothing of me touched the sides of the tub unless I physically moved my legs there. This surgery is giving me some confidence back for sure. I even updated my photo at work because I don't look like that anymore!
-
It's funny you mention the photo at work! I got questioned a bar this past weekend because my picture didn't look like me anymore. Congrats! You may have inspired me to take a bath

Good NSV the other day. I had my first physical since the surgery and the DR was very pleased. Blood Pressure was great, pulse was great and I was down 96 lbs since seeing them last. First 'good' physical I've had in 15+ years where it didn't end with the DR making dire predictions about my health if I didn't lose weight.

Yeah Baby! Oh I have a Christian type joke for you! Lady appears at the Gates of Heaven. Saint Peter says" Before I open these gates I must know if you know Our Savior, the Son of GOD? Lady says Oh Saint Peter,yes I do and we are on a first name basis. Saint Peter says Oh yes, and what might his name be? Lady says Yes his name is Andy. Saint Peter says Andy? Lady says if course: Andy walks with me Andy talks with me Andy tells me I am his own! Great NSV I am looking for the day I can bend straight over, tie my shoes and not get dizzy.

Got a couple more today. Had to go to a walk in clinic today got a skin infection thing... they didn’t have to go searching for the bigger BP cuff and just used the “normal one”. Doc even said after reviewing my vitals what not that I’m “really healthy”. I’m choosing to take that as positive and not a backhanded compliment. Best NSV was the Mr giving me a big hug and saying he could reach around me more and this was now his favorite way to measure my progress. Congrats on everyone for notifying NSV even if not posting.

I LOVE this topic! Read every one and cheering for everybody! For me, I literally walked out of a pair of jeans. My heel caught on the hem and they came right down off me. Down a size already! And I'm having a surge of energy in spite of having zero caffeine (I was addicted to Diet Coke pre-surgery.) Got up at 5:30 this morning and cooked eggs for me and hubby (he was shocked, LOL) then took the dogs on a mile-long walk. Can't wait to see what NSVs the next weeks and months bring.
