B-Man, How wonderful, I know you were so excited to be able to do that again. Dosent it make the last year sooooo worth it. I had my bandiversary on the 3rd of Jan, I wish I had some type of exciting reward like yours. Everyone is doing so good, is it not amazing the difference a year makes? It makes me want to tear up, so many NSV. Best of luck to everyone. Lois

What about your NSV (non scale victories). Are your clothes fitting better? Do you have more energy? Don't focus so much on the scale and don't compare your weight loss to others. Sleeved on April 25, 2018 HW: 258 SW: 238 CW: 218 GW: 165

Saw my best friend first time since September. Had surgery 10-3 we met at David's bridal she walked past me didn't know it was me til I turned around and said oh my goodness you've lost a lot of weight. Mind you she knew about surgery we just hadn't seen each other. Buying a bra 2 sizes smaller. Coat I bought in January I pulled out. Could put 2 of me in it I think. Ready for Christmas party Friday wearing a red dress 3 sizes smaller this Christmas. Best of all, I didn't do it. Working third last night baked goodies, cocoa, and m&ms. Wanted them ate zero of them. Had my 4am Protein shake chocolate fix instead. Today just another shake, and my tuna for lunch and crystal light. Sent from my 5054N using the BariatricPal App

Kimber-lilly's Slow Loser NSV for today!
chellseabelle replied to Kimber-lilly's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
A check out - is a check out, girl. And remember, your brother-in-law is a guy first and you Brother-in-law second. The great thing is he knows he shouldn't be checking you out being he is your husbands brother and he did it anyway because he couldn't help himself and you caught him. That is awesome!!! YOU GO GIRL THAT IS A NSV Be proud. -
Hello all..... slow loser here, but! Something kinda significant happened today...... I was upstairs, just out of the shower, in bra and panties--heard someone knocking at the door. Two able bodied people downstairs DO NOT MOVE to answer the door. So I am scrambling around for something to put on....and scurry down the stairs (what I wanted to wear was in the dryer). So I throw the shirt/jeans on as I zipped down the stairs, yanked open the door and there stood my bro-in-law. I haven't seen him in a few months and my DH has 6 brothers and lets just say, he is the least gross of the whole bunch (except my husband who I think was adopted since he is so different from the whole lot of 'em). We have a nice friendly relationship. He totally checked me out! And I watched him do it! And it was fun! I went back upstairs and finished what I was doing after I said hi and my husband finally figured out someone was at the door (duh....). I haven't been checked out in a loooooong time! (even if it was the bro in law--has to start somewhere, right?!) As a side note, DH tells me almost everyday that I look great, etc.. which is so nice, but it's nice when others notice, toooooooo.........

why am i not losing?
reverie replied to Pammy S Lewis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stalls are when you stop losing weight for a few weeks. It's usually due to your body readjusting and recomping. A lot of people stall when they move to normal foods, which is usually due to your body getting used to normal food intake again. Stalls can last a week or a few weeks. Your best bet is to wait it out, play around with your calories/exercise, and focus on the NSVs, such as losing inches. Nothing you can do to avoid it. It's all part of the weight loss journey. Weight loss is not and will never be linear nor constant. Some weeks you'll lose nothing, some you'll lose 1/2lb, some weeks you'll lose 3lbs; it is never the same. -
What a great boost for your self esteeem, that is truly a NSV, and you so deserve it! Karen

Has Anyone Gotten Pregnant After Sleeve
vsg30815 replied to Rosikah's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My doc told me that it puts you and baby at risk. Baby won't get all the nutrients it needs especially if body is in ketosis. I have PCOS and surgery is my last resort in hopes of conceiving. If not, I'm ok with that! I love the energy and other NSVs I'm seeing now~ and my monthly has returned after soooo many years being absent! Down 23lbs since surgery 5/1/12 and 54lbs overall. -
Hi Megan, Wow what a difference. But you were cute in both pics. My drivers license pic needs to be changed for sure. A while back I got a ticket, went to pay it at the city office and all the women behind the counter started passing around my license and staring at me. ONe lady just said, howja do it??? I started cracking up!!! Great NSV! Babs in TX 334/180 ish now

Happy Birthday Terri! I'm glad you had a nice, lazy day! Good for you! Here's to a great year of weight loss and wonderful NSV's. Yay you!

Just wanted to share this- Pre surgery, I cooked up a STORM for my family of 5, which includes two teenaged boys who EAT. And eat. My kids will bypass fast food any day for a home cooked meal. They actually prefer it, along with fruits and veggies. So, being a typical mom, I didn't want them eating garbage while I was recovering. My lovely mom even contributed to my stockpiled freezer. My family had meals for 4 entire weeks. Last week I was moved to a general diet and finally blew through all the cooked frozen meals. Here's the kicker- I have been cooking all of those meals once again, and I'm ok with it. I really didn't think I would be able to, knowing there were things I could not eat at this point. But I did. And have enjoyed it. So, a different kind of NSV, but exciting nonetheless. Even made Desserts. Didn't want a single bite of any of it either.

Ok so I get the idea of a NSV, but what does it stand for??
-
Holy Cow ! Ok, so I havent bought any new clothes in years, and I mean that literally .... I just dont like to shop for clothes, unless Its for something i specifically need. So, since surgery, my things are practically falling off of me, so i broke down yesterday, and went to CJ Banks. I was a 28 for the past 15+ years, so I figured i must NOW be down to a 24, or maybe even a 22 .... nope - an 18 !!!!!!!!! Holy crap!! I was just stunned! I actually cried in the dressing room, and called 5 people I knew who would appreciate it ! LOL Wow, this is all SOOOOOO worth it :-) I just had to share ....

How much weight have you lost? I am tired of this question!
melzie_99 replied to Keia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I can understand your annoyance. I think in my case, however, I get a bit frustrated about the question only because I thought I would've lost more by now that I have. I've never really been a numbers person when it comes to my weight until now (more concerned about size) as I've always weighed more than people my same size. I've become more focused on my NSV's, like being able to sit comfortably in a seat on the plane and not be squished or being able to keep up with my thin sister who speed walks everywhere without needing to whip out my inhalor (lol). I think most people mean well when they ask, but yes, there are always those few who are just there to try to steal your sunshine. I think as long as we remember this is a journey we are doing for ourselves and not others we will be just fine. Good luck to you all! -
what does NSV mean?? I am new to the forum and unsure of some of the terms
-
wow VK, what an awesome NSV. I just love the way dh looks at me now. My best friend has asked me if it bothers me that he looks at me that way now but not before. She said that he should be that attracted to me whether I am obese or not. I do see her point, but come on, I am not attracted to me when I am heavy and not taking care of myself. He would never have said before that he wasn't attracted to me physically, but now that I have lost weight, I can just tell the difference. It's all in his eyes. He is so proud of me. I am sooo proud of myself. I love that he can't keep his hands off of me.
-
The reason is that it requires 100 posts on this forum. Easy way to get that is to welcome newbies, congratulate people on NSV etc. You don't need to start 100 posts, just make 100. I think you are up to 6 or 7 now.

Sound Off On Post Op Appetite
shelleyrn22 replied to feszyk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hunger... *sigh* it's been a rough afternoon for me. Celebrated my first nsv, then it was capoot. I'm less than a week out and I'm already wanting something "different". I pretty much cried all afternoon. No regrets, but it's a grieving process for me. I'm grieving the loss of my life time friend, lover and companion - food. Yes, I knew this was part of "it" - blah blah. It still has thrown me for a loop. However - actual hunger - nope, not yet! Good luck to you! -
My friend took this candid picture of me cooking yesterday and I was shocked that I looked so adorable! It's the first time I've ever been pleased with a candid shot of me it feels so good!

Great NSV's for sure.

I am fairly new here. What does NSV stand for?

Beyond the 88lbs I have lost =) there are a million other little things that make me happy on a regular basis. I didn't really have an major health conditions due to my weight, but I would imagine that those are the best NSV's for some people; not having to take any more meds, etc. Here is a list of mine... Walking into a store and buying something off the rack without having to struggle to find my size and fit and such. Not to mention not having to spend a fortune on clothes that are in style and don't make me look 70! Not being embarassed at the register when the cashier rings up my pants and then proceeds to hold them out for the whole world to see as they fold them. Being able to cross my legs. I feel so much more lady like. Haha. Being able to shave all the way up my leg without getting major razor burn. I believe that is due to my hormones balancing out and my legs not rubbing as much. Being able to hike and play paintball and other activities without tiring after 10 minutes or being too embarassed to do those activities in front of people. Sitting in the car next to my skinny best frind or sister and not continuously glancing down and noticing how much bigger my legs are. Walking by a glass wall or mirror and being excited about my profile. Getting a Facebook message from my "monster-in-law" stating that I am now smaller than her. Being able to wear a thong without it being uncomfortable and completely lost for most of the day. The old fashioned doctors scale dropping down to the 250 notch, then the 200, etc. Having a lap. My puppy can now sit in it. <3 Being able to sit COMFORTABLY in a movie theater chair, restaurant booth, Plebotomy chair and with a seat belt on! My PCOS is chilling out and I've started ovulating regularly! Hopefully a baby soon. =) I'm sure I could go on, and some of these are ridiculously silly, but they all make a difference to me and make my world so much better. I heart my LapBand and would go through this process again and again and again. No regrets.
