My New Nsv! :)
Ms skinniness replied to Crystal Woods's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow you are so tiny! That's also an NSV! I love it when our legs no longer rub and there's actually light. -
What NSV do you hope for post op?
sleevemom88 replied to Kelly84's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have reached a lot of NSV that I never thought about before. Sitting curled up, fitting in the middle seat of the car, comfortably fitting in benches and chairs when out with hubby, crossing legs, sitting with knees to chest, painting toes, wearing "regular" clothes, buying a form fitted dress, wearing heels without feeling like my feet will fall off, Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App -

DSLdiversity replied to Kelly84's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
For starters: Being able to play with my 8-yr old son more. He just came in the room and told me "your the best dad ever." All three of my kids are great but I've gotten better now since my wife and I have 3 (no more!) I just want to run and play with my baby. Take walks with him, take him to the zoo, hiking in caverns, and go to his school to pick him up without feeling self conscious about how I look. This is my #1 NSV DSLdiversity -

Amazed by Family Response
MINI-Me replied to JanePatrick's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What a wonderful gift you have been given ... the support and love of your family. MAJOR NSV if you ask me. -
I have alot of trouble with salad. Stay away from iceberg lettuce, for some reason it is hard to chew up. Also, I agree, you may still be slightly swollen, and the excitement for the wedding could be a factor too, take it easy for a few days. You might want to go back to liquids. Congratuations on the "new attitude" and NSV's galore. Karen

Today is my Monday weight in and I was nervous. I have been eating 700-900 calories per day and my dietician says 300-400. I was so scared to get on the scale! I was shocked when it said I have lost 4 lbs this past week! Very happy, but confused. Don't know if I'm overestimating on my calories or if my body just wants that many. Anyway, I guess I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hope for another good Monday next week. NSV -- I do know my pants fit better. I wore a pair of capris today that I haven't been able to keep buttoned because they were too tight around the waist. I wore them all day today and could still breath at the end of the day. Nice feeling! Getting tired of my mushie routine and ready to go to solids. My plan says 8/13 but my dietician appt isn't until 8/20 and they can't get me in any earlier. I'm bummed about that. I just want to chew something crunchy. Just a cracker or something. Anyway, things are going pretty well and I haven't had any regrets yet.

I'm 2 weeks and 3 days post op and today I tried on a pair of shoes that I had bought online and were too tight and they now fit. I guess I lost in my feet too.

If the seatbelt fits...
gowalking replied to fatgirlsvelte's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I love these NSVs. Congrats. Don't sweat the eating out. You may find it's not such a challenge when you realize the camaraderie and conversation is so much better when you aren't focused on the food. Make the right choice when you are looking at the menu, and then just sit back and enjoy. -
Thanks everyone for the great responses! It occurred to me that I pedaled my bike standing up! I never was able to do that when I was heavy. Now it's become so much easier for me that I did without even thinking. I guess that comes under the heading of NSVs.

My first NSV! Share yours as they happen!
auntlucy replied to HarleyGirl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I'm not feeling well, so I went to the doctor today. The bad news is that I have an upper respiratory infection (Yuck!). The good news is that I had a NSV! In the past, they have always had to use a larger blood pressure cuff on me. It's always so embarassing b/c they try the regular one and it doesn't work on my fat arms. They have to go find the one larger cuff that they have in the whole office. But, today, she used the regular cuff on me, and it worked! Yippee! If I would have felt better, I probably would have jumped around the office. -

got a couple NSV's Well I'm short so I have to have the seat pulled up in my car, well my stomach has always pressed against the wheel, not any more!! At valentine's day, a co-worker was giving the ladies in the office watches. Well I picked mine out knowning that wouldn't be able to wear it because it would not fit around my wrist, well now it does. This weekend I pulled out a pair of pants I haven't been able to wear in 2 years. They fit!! I loved these pants too. -

Hi Everyone, I had my fist NSV yesterday. I actually walked into a Nordstrom's Rack and I was able to try on the clothes that they had in the store. This has been the first time for me in a very long time. I did not buy anything there because I did not want to pay so much money for an item of clothing that I know I won't be wearing in a month. :thumbup: I am glad that I now have more options in clothing instead of having to shop at only a few stores. :eek: Congrats to everyone!!! Keep up the AWESOME work. :tongue: -

I had my first NSV yesterday. My daughter has a pair of jeans that are way too big for her (size 24). I asked her if I could wear them when I lose about 10 more pounds. she said, "mom you can wear them now, because they are "magical Jeans"". I was thinking "yeah right". I tried them on and they fit. It was way too cool. I haven't been able to fit jeans for about two years now and it is great to be able to have zippers instead of elastic all around. Congrats to everyones NSV...... -
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All those NSVs let you know that you made the right choice for you! Enjoy fitting in all those wonderful new places...including sex!

Excellent! You should get a Busy gettin' SEXY!! bumper sticker! I had a funny NSV today: I discovered my port! I can actually feel it now! -
My husband calls me from work yesterday and says, "I thought I would tell you that Bill ( husband's best friend) was at the grocery store the other day and he thinks he saw you wanted to say hi, but wasn't sure it was you...how much weight has she lost? She was unrecognizable." Ok it has been one year since he has seen me. Made my day and I guess I'm realizing that I have changed my body! ( his sister is heavy he is kind about the weight issues)

I was so excited that my clothing sizes where shrinking that I danced into the normal section..... lol I still have a hard time believing that I wear a size 10. I'll pick up a pair of 10 pants and think "too small" so I always take size 10 & 12 to the fitting room..... yep, the 12's are too big, I really am a size 10. You will get use to the change (& it's a great change)! Good luck on your journey, enjoy all the NSV like this!

Well, it finally happened, I have my first NSV to post and for me it's a big one: I went to the doctor today for my usual check up. For the first time in over two years my blood pressure was normal 100/70! And that's after I had cut the prescription down from 100mg twice a day to 50mg once a day, that was the cardiologists orders. I can't believe in this short of time, 2 months, that I have had that kind of reaction in my body. Also I went from 30U Humolog(Insulin) three times a day down to 10U three times a day!! I am so encouraged and I just wanted to share this with all of my friends her. Cindy

Here is a link to a thread about NSV's, those little non-surgical victories that help you feel like bariatric surgery is worth the angst and inconvenience. Maybe it will help you decide. http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/195065-you-know-you-lost-weight-when/page-21?hl=%2Bnsv#entry3548506
