Sometimes the Non-scale victories are more exciting than the numbers on the scale going down. Hooray for NSVs!

Congrats on your NSV.... I had to put my scale away for fear of weighing myself daily or hourly. Now I just weigh myself on Wednesdays.... -
Woot! Woot! Congrats! All of the c25k and weight loss is showing in ways more than just numbers going down on the scale. Awesome NSV! Sent from my iPhone using VST

199!!! Wheww….sitting here kinda in a daze ….you go into this hoping that it is the right thing to do…and pretty soon you are losing 10, 20, 30 pounds and you are saying…wow..it is like a dream. I sit here with tears in my eyes…I am below 200 pounds for the first time since 1984, when I was 19 years old. I made so many broken promises to myself…you know the ones…when I get x weight, I am really going to start getting serious about losing weight and you just keep raising the limit until you get up to 270 pounds and at 5’1…I was looking pretty bad. I can say in all honesty that things are starting to turn around! ffice:office" /><O:p></O:p> So here are all the good things that have happened since I got my miraculous band: <O:p></O:p> I lost 71 pounds so far in a little less than 6 months, as well as hitting that goal before my birthday, which is coming up this month. <O:p></O:p> I have lost 52 inches all over my body. <O:p></O:p> I now weigh less than my husband…now I am aiming to weigh less than my ex..I now know that is an achievable goal! I have 3 sizes and teetering on another. I feel better and my feet and ankles have stopped swelling. Although my feet are a little swollen today of course. My sleep apnea is now almost non-existent. <O:p></O:p> Too many NSV’s to clog up this thread with. <O:p></O:p> I am listening to my band and paying attention to it more and more and working on listening to my head less and less when it comes to eating and hunger at least. Gosh I could go on and on. <O:p></O:p> <O:p></O:p> Some negatives to balance out all this nauseating sweetness. <O:p></O:p> The hanging skin is downright ugly and a full body lift is in my future…no doubt. <O:p></O:p> I went from a 46D to a 45A..what the hell is up with that???<O:p></O:p> I still fight head-hunger everyday…I thought that after almost after 6 months..it would get easier…the battle continues. <O:p></O:p> <O:p></O:p> I want to say a big THANK YOU to everybody on this board who has given me wonderful advice and suggestions since I joined this forum. Ya’ll have made the journey so much easier for me, than it would have been alone. I also want to thank my band buddy, Kira(Bridget) for all her support and advice. I saved the best for last, I also want to give a big hug and thank you to my DDH for standing by me through all of this and being my rock. Ok now on to the next big milestone!!! J Onederland rocks!!!!!<O:p></O:p>

All along my ultimate goal was to wear skinny jeans (and not look like a stuffed sausage) with a pair of tall boots. One could dream, right? Well, I bought the tall boots a few weeks ago thinking and hoping that soon I would find a pair of jeans that might just fit inside them. Tonight I decided to give it a go. I took a size 14 and a size 12 back (with the boots in hand). Size 14...way too big. Size 12...still too big! What in the world?! Who walked out with a size 10 pair of skinny jeans that look amazing in my tall boots?!? That would be MEEEE!!!! There is no food on this earth that tastes as good as this victory!!!

Went for my 3 mo. post op on Friday, saw a PA I had not met before. He looked around the room and asked where the bariatric patient was. That it couldn't be me, because I was svelte. SVELTE. My new favorite word!

Marci - I love that you could get your 18's on...lying down to zip and all! It doesn't seem so painful when the pants you are trying to get in are smaller than the ones you are in...LOL! I had a laugh myself this past week...the 22's that were finally comfortable slipped off with unzipping or unbuttoning...WOO HOO! I, of course, called my daughter to brag! She had bypass over a year ago and is a svelte size 10 but since the 22's were once hers, she got a laugh out of it too! I'm not sure what a "NSV" is - I can never find the place to look that stuff up...maybe I had a NSV too!

Well, I had a great NSV yesterday. I knew I had a pair of jeans in my closet -- size 18 with the tags still on. When I went in for surgery, I was in a TIGHT 20. My pants have been so loose lately I thought.....hmmmmm, wonder if I can get those jeans on? So I got them out of the closet, pulled them on (yeah! they went OVER my hips!) struggled to button them :paranoid , but they buttoned, laid down :rolleyes and zipped them up. They actually zipped up!!!! :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: They are still a bit tight to be wearing out, but another couple of weeks and they should fit right. When I first bought them, I couldn't even get them over my hips and they've been hanging in the closet for 3 years. I'm looking forward to being able to wear them all the time.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I'm having a really hard time seeing any difference in my body having lost 30 lbs. But I got to go home this last week and visit my family and my inlaws. Most I haven't seen since I had surgery and only my mom knows I had surgery. Everyone I saw kept saying "your face looks soo thin!" that made me so happy! My mother in law (who has no clue I had surgery) kept going on and on about how good I look and wanted to know what I'm doing different. I exercise six days a week and I'm eating a third of what I used to eat. Some day when I reach goal I'll tell her I had surgery but she's very overweight and VERY against weight loss surgery. So it was fun to have her notice and go on and on. It made me feel good. Anyway my very first NSV!

What a fun NSV!!! I look forward to that!

I have now lost more weight, than I have weight to lose (lost 89 lbs; 88 lbs left to lose). I guess on the journey of weight loss, I'm now over the hill! Still have a long way to go. This forum has been a huge part of the journey, and I thank each one of you for being a big part of it!

Silly Success Story....
ireallywannabthin replied to ☠carolinagirl☠'s topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
That's not a silly success story.. that's a huge accomplishment.. a NSV (non-scale victory)!! That is one of those items on my bucket list of weight loss that I want to accomplish also! That's wonderful...enjoy every moment of fitting comfortably in those pants! -
I love your new picture. You are one of my weight loss inspirations. Every time I look your ticker is down .5 pounds. It is so obvious how hard you have worked. Congratulations. Robbie Apparently you cannot edit subject line. Rachel412, I apologize for my dyslexic post and mangling your name. Sentiments still apply.

Has Anyone's Obesity Side Effects Stopped After Weight Loss?
Rootman replied to Malisima69's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
A big YES. I had high BP, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, shortness of breath, high resting heart rate, nasty eczema, sweat like a trooper constantly and had no stanima. Alsmost two years out with 2 full physicals behind me and it's all in the past. BP is npw typically 110/70, cholsterol is 133 / 64 trig., resting heart rate is about 70, eczema is cleared up and a LOT more energy. I now swim 2-4 hours a week and bike about 100 miles a week. The best part is I no longer sweat much. This effect was immediate without the weight loss and I can't explain it. I have a theory that it's due to the cutting of the tail end of the vagas nerve but this does not make sense, regardless it is one of the BEST NSV's I have had. I used to sweat even as a skinny little kid si it was not due entirly to my weight. -
Great Job Terry! Awesome ride.. 146bpm AVERAGE, thats a great nsv by itself!

I put my swimsuit on yesterday. Back in March while I was in California and Mexico it was super snug. I had to wiggle my way in and out. Yesterday it was loose and baggy. Extra baggy up top. :-( It frustrates me that many plus sized swimsuits are designed assuming the plus sized woman has a large bust. I just don't. And what little I have is disappearing with every pound. I was pleased at the apparent weight loss but saddened by just how unfeminine I felt in my swimsuit.

Alex, what an awesome NSV!!!
