This has been a great week so far! Random woman who I don't know but see most weeks at my son's swimming lesson told me I look awesome and she can really tell I am working hard! Thanks so much lady - I am working hard! Today is my birthday and my husband bought me a bunch of workout clothes - which are too big! This is not his fault I told him the size to buy- down from a tight fitting 26/28 to an 18/20! Also, the fact that I asked for workout clothes for my birthday. This morning I also wanted to treat myself to Starbucks. I had planned to order the new Salted Caramel Mocha which I tasted when my sister had one the other day. Delish! Well, when I pulled up in the drive thru they have the calories listed. NO WAY! 580 calories. No thank you! I ordered a Skinny vanilla Latte! 160 calories! It was just as delish (thats what I keep trying to tell myself anyway ) I also broke out the fall/winter clothes and shoes. Well, almost all of my shoes are too big!!! So excited - I get to go shoe shopping! WOOHOO! Hope you all enjoy your day!

So, I started out at 277 three months ago before surgery and right before 2 week pre-op diet began. I stepped on the scale this morning and for the first time in YEARS (maybe even a decade) I saw a "2" after the first 2. Just barely but it was there (229.8 to be exact). I just had to shout it out - I was really really excited to see that little old 2. Hitting a new "decade" of numbers has been my short term goal and has kept me motivated. If I think of the 90 pounds I still want to lose it seems overwhelming. I'll stick to my mini-goals and I'd encourage all my fellow bandsters to do the same. NSVs are wonderful - but for me I only "trust" the hard cold numbers on the scale. They will always tell me the truth LOL! Best of luck to all of us on our journey - I'm so happy I got the band!!!!

I was at my Lions' Club meeting last night and dinner was served. Main course was a stodgy oversize serving of lasagne with a slice of lettuce and tomato that was supposed to be a salad. I ate the salad and a lapbander sized portion of the lasagne. I had been for a 30km bike ride earlier in the day so knew I had a few calories in reserve. Then out came dessert. Usually it's fruit-based with whipped cream and I can just push the cream aside. No such luck tonight! It was a massive portion of baked egg white and sugar, aka pavlova, smothered in whipped cream and topped with chocolate. Well that just wasn't happening! Three different servers tried to place a dessert in front of me and three times I managed to say no thank you. What a relief not to have undone all the good work of my bike ride. And the roof didn't fall in just because I said no thanks to a dessert!

NSV = Non Scale Victory and Bob I think you answered your own question. "changed my diet, stopped all sodas, sugar, sweets and started the high protein diet" = all great things for the teeth. Congrats on your NSV and good look to you with the band! -

Please tell me what NSV stands for. I see ppl put it on here all the time but I never know what the heck it means.. -
Ok, this sounds a bit crazy, but I went to the dentist this week and she was checking my gum health, you know when they assign a number for each tooth. Well, last time I had like 18 "4"s and this time I just had 4 "4"s. She said, "your whole mouth looks so much better in just 6 months. What have you been doing?" Well, I had been on my pre-op for 6 months and had changed my diet, stopped all sodas, sugar, sweets and started the high Protein diet. And I stopped all my meds about 7 weeks ago. She really thought the lap band diet had improved my teeth incredibly. Anyone else have this happen. I guess this is a NSV of sorts.

Thank you both! and YOU WILL GET THERE!!!! I'm just now really experiencing some of the great things I only read about before. I wasn't always sure I would be here and I am so thrilled. I know you both will also have wonderful experiences - NSVs and SVs!!!! -
I love your NSV and the way you told us about it! Your enthusiasm made me smile so big! So far, the only way I've been able to do this is to buy bigger towels.

This may be a little lame, but it sure lifted my spirits! After my shower yesterday I needed to run into the laundry room. In the past I've run to the bedroom to look for my robe or threw on some sweats and a t-shirt - basically had to dress. On a whim yesterday I grabbed a REGULAR SIZE TOWEL and wrapped it around me!!!!!! WHOA NILLY!!!!! It worked!!!! It wrapped all the way around!!!!!! AND IT STAYED ON TUCKED ALL BY ITSELF!!! I skipped to the laundry room and then all around the house in my towel!!! I did not know how uplifting a stinkin towel could be! I don't remember the last time I was able to do this!!!! I wish I could have worn it to work LOL ....okay maybe not..... white is not my color Best wishes to all!!!!

One I didn't even realize I was doing.....
Julie76 posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
So I have a NSV that I noticed this morning and didn't realize I was even doing it until my daughter said something. We were driving to school this morning and she looked over at me and said "Mom, Is it really safe to be driving with your foot in the seat like that?" Then I realized it. There it was.... I had slipped my foot out of my flip flop and put my foot on the edge of the seat and was driving like that. Safe maybe not, but let me tell you this, coming from someone who use to worry about the steering wheel touching my tummy when I was driving, to having my foot in the seat with me, it was a huge victory. I almost took a picture of it but I figured it wasn't a good idea.lol I'm feeling better and better every day. Walking, running and just moving in general feels so good. I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!! PS... If you are thinking about having the sleeve done, don't wait! Do you and your body a favor and DO IT!!! -
What about your bras?
mauraclegg replied to Tired of being Tired's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As someone else said my fav NSV was going into VS and getting sized and buying a bra or 2 there. I went from like a 44f to a 36dd. So I did lose some, but the girls are still a healthy size. (I was a DD long before I started gaining weight) -

Me too! My favorite 1st NSV was to go to Victoria's Secret and pick out 2 pretty bras. Like Jachut said, just hand wash and they will be okay! Karen -
