I'm 6 weeks post op and I have lost about 34 lbs. I'm still in my same size clothes. I think I may be down one size but I haven't checked. The way I see it is that, as we get smaller, we should see the sizes come down quicker. I was just telling my best friend how I have lost a little over 30lbs...she is so amazed by this. However, she' seeing this amount in reference to her weight. She is under 200lbs so if she lost over 30lbs it would be a major change in her size. But, for someone like me, who was 264lbs at the time of my surgery, 34lbs is great and quite an accomplishment...but, it is not drastic enough to drop a significant amount in clothes size. It's all relative to how much weight we have to lose. I have no doubt that the weight and inches are coming off. I know I have to be patient before I see a shift in my actual clothing size. I was a size 20 for awhile. I was also able to fit into a size 20 even if I went up a few pounds. Hang in there! The NSV will come for us all!

Unexpected NSV - I'll take it!

it pretty much depends, for me it didn't feel like I dropped sizes but my clothes felt baggy until I went shopping and bam I was in a 24 at 3 months and a month later I was able to button a 22. Coming from a size 30 I should have figured it out sooner but I just expected "baggy" clothing. Have you tried putting on some smaller sizes at all??? you might have an NSV! I'm almost 4 months post op and down 85 lbs from surgery and 110 total- you'll get there. I felt discouraged from a lot until I was 3 months post op and it'll hit you. Good luck and from your numbers you're doing amazing!

Congradulations on the NSV with shirts. I can say that I have to look at getting new belts and my pants are sliding down. Chris

Met the first weight loss goal I set for myself TODAY!! 43lbs down, met my lowest weight attained with diet and exercise alone. I almost cried when I saw the scale ) NSV's: Ran 30 minutes non stop yesterday Yesterday, wore shorts that were too tight to button at the beginning of summer. They were LOOSE! OMFG!!

I took my 3 grown sons camping a couple wks ago. We were swimming and racing up and down the river when my son stopped me and said "Mom look at our empty chairs just siiting there. I am so proud of you Mom" You see, I am usualy siiting in one of those chairs WATCHING my famlly enjoy vacation. Two miracles happened that trip. My very health/fitness crazed son has never told me was proud of me (he is 26) and I was active the entire trip!

My 1 year surgery anniversary is today!
Piplula replied to Piplula's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
WOW...that's a first!!! Another great NSV!! -
GRRRR. I hate it when some people speak before they think what they are saying!!!! Not all obese people have diabetes. Don't worry you will get the "un-hitched NSV" you deserve!

Today a co-worker comes up and tells me, "I can really tell..." Tell what? Tell who? I didn't do it... "I can really tell you've lost some weight since your surgery." Really? I never told you about my surgery. "I'm glad your health wasn't really bad." What? I've never been sick in the entire time I've known you... So I tell her, "Well, maintaining my good health was one of the reasons I had the surgery - I was really high risk for a lot of things like diabetes, high BP, etc. and wanted to try and make sure I didn't full-on develop them." She says... "Oh, wow - I can't believe you didn't have diabetes, that's really unusual for someone as big as you not to have it." I've yet to receive a good, plain, un-hitched verbal NSV. I always get these stupid little antithesis NSVs! :angry

Is anyone having success and enjoying their banded life?
MarieMarie replied to Kitt3000's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The NSV's are important as my weight loss is very slow. My daughter doesn't know about the band. I see her watching my shrinking body and hoping I don't fit into her jeans one day. Wink! Wink! We shall see -
I really enjoyed my Thanksgiving Day. :hungry: I plan on going walking today and this weekend. Piggyback off of Cha Cha dreams Tiny NSV's Running up and down the stairs and am not ready to drop dead Knees don't hurt as much when running up and down the stairs The band keeps me from filling a plate up with food, woofing it down and then go back for more. Private NSV for friend Able to sit with one leg under me without my leg falling off dead Able to comfortably do the sit sideway crossleg The confidence is amazing, I know it is also the coming of age....40 None of my clothes are tight anymore. LOL Did I tell you I love my collar bones. I can actually feel them and they are almost able to show all by theirselves if I position them right. LOL I'm so excited.:clap2:

What are/were your favorite Non scale Victories? Especially the surprise victories.... Here are a couple of mine Clothes that were way too small are now way too big.- I tried on a pair of too small pants, hoping that I could at least get into them, only to find out that they were too big to wear! Total happy dance. Crossing my legs again!

That is one great NSV, and surprising one for you!!Congrats!

And now that January 2019 is about to end, have YOU had an NSV yourself?
-
@Neri Congratulations on your progress. NSVs are proof it's not all about the number on the scale! Yesterday, while talking to a friend of many years, she said "you are starting to look like the you I remember and I know you'll get back to where you were mean't to be." I've known her for 40 yrs and she has seen me yo-yo diet for the last 20 yrs so I know she mean't this as a sincere compliment . Definitely a NSV for me.

It happened so gradually, I just noticed yesterday that my thighs no longer rub together! I can wear pants, stockings or go bare legged without making a sound or creating friction! I also have a "gap" between my legs...I've never seen space there before - LOL!

Our family just took a trip to Disney and I was feeling like a month post op the weight wasn't coming off. That is until my husband showed me the pics. Yeah! I can finally see it
-
That's so exciting, congratulations! This is a great NSV! I'm only a couple months out from surgery, but this is something I'm looking forward to. I have a trip to Disney planned in October so I'll be 6 months out. I'm hoping my hips won't need to squish between the arm rests!

Congratulations! Such a wonderful NSV! I look forward to that moment myself...
