Leslie, that sounds so fun! DH and I took the youth group from church there a couple of months ago and played laser tag. It was sooooo fun. Wonderful NSV! Bet it felt great!! Oh, I have a good one too. I officially weigh less than DH! I am thrilled because I have weighed more than him for almost ten years. Granted, he is a lot taller than me, but still....I WEIGH LESS!!! HAHAHA I can say that to ya'll, lol. I would never rub it in his face like that though. It's just nice to be able to share this kinda stuff with ya'll.

Congrats! This is how it happened to me too :cry_smile: I still try to wear my clothes too long.. I usually dont switch to the next size till I have excess material hanging off my butt. My hubby hates it haha. I can't believe that once I lost one size they just started snowballing down. I went from a 22/24 to a 14 in 50 pounds. Just wait a few more weeks and u will probably have a nsv again Those are the best!

That's awesome, ladies!!!! How fun! I've not been banded yet, but have been trying to watch my carbs and increase my Protein in the last week. I put on a pair of jeans yesterday and the bottoms came lower past my ankles down on my feet (like they're supposed to)... that was thrilling! I showed my hubby and he was happy for me. I can't wait for all of the NSV's!!! I just realized that all of my holiday tops that I love, this will be the last year I get to wear them, how fun! Then the new clothes shopping will begin. Someday, I'll be able to shop in a regular store. Woohoo!!

Hiya HH! and one more thing........ I actually splurged on a few clothes yesterday at Dress Barn...... I NEVER buy anything that is not on sale, but yesterday I said screw it and I bought a very pretty sweater type jacket.. it is of course varying threads of purple! It is gorgeous and $59.99 (this is a lot for me to spend on 1 article of clothing) Also a couple layering blouses that WERE on Clearance.. one is white (to go under the jacket and one is a light green (to go with my eyes) The jacket is an XL and the blouses are size L. I think its time for me to go through my closet and cull out the things I don't like (its just hard for me to through out stuff that actually fits!) WEIRD NSV.

Any October Bandsters!??!?!
~Bridgette~ replied to SoCalCass's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! We're another day closer to our journey to fitness! Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I'm making my wish list today. All the things I have always wanted to be able to do but haven't been comfortable to do so because of my weight. I want to keep this so if the scale isn't moving as fast as I may like, I can look for NSV's like the things on my list. Meshultz~ I'm going to tell my family, but I'll wait til they're back from their vacation.. I don't want them to spend their vacation worrying abotu me, LOL. I know I'll need the support and understanding to know shove food in my face just "because it's tiime to eat"... -
Hi everyone!!! I am the same KT that started this thread, but somehow managed to lose my connection to lapbandtalk and had to get a new login!! Anyway, I came back to say hi! Seems our wee thread is losing momentum... I truly hope it's because everyone is doing so well :-) The last time I posted I was frustrated with my weight loss but optimistic that I could turn things around... well I am pleased to report that I had a fill (9mls in a 10ml band) and wow.... restriction, frustration with restriction, etc etc I've had it all!!! Anyway, I finally passed my "original" goal weight. BMI says I am normal!!! YAY!!!! Unfortunately for me I've moved the goal posts and now still have 5kgs to go "keep on trucking"... I am soooo determined that I'll be there by Xmas!!!! NSV: The other day someone said to me... "look at you, skill as skinny as ever"!!! OMG, I have never been skinny but how nice is that!!! So many of us started in June 2007... I hope that you are all happy, healthy, satisfied. It's not so easy but it is attainable and you all deserve it! LOL KT

Dr. John Bagnato - Bagnato Bandits - NSV
kristim8132008 replied to a topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I had to share my biggest NSV yet so far. I went shopping for jeans Friday and I bought a pair of jeans 2 sizes smaller than the last time I bought jeans (which was quite a long time ago.) It made me feel very good. -
Evening, Violets.. Well, another concert done. We got a standing ovation so we must have done something right!! I had a couple of NSV's and then a real downer. Several people told me how nice I looked tonight.. actually heard the word pretty! :thumbup: BUT.. two of the girls forgot to bring white tee shirts to wear under the black tops so I told Bob to bring two of mine. One was a medium and one was a 2X from my former life. Well, the lady who wore the 2X one thanked me for bringing the shirt to her and said it was a good thing we were about the same size so it would fit her. arghhhhhhhhhhhhh I haven't worn a 2X in a long time! In those particular tees I wear a medium!!! OH well, can't have all NSV's all the time!! I'm off to go watch some TV with the Bobster and then head to bed. Everyone have a good night. Sleep well. We got Kat feeling better... now we really need to work on Laura!!!

Does Your Band Stop Your Hunger

OMG DENISE ME TOO... Right now I am stressed and tired - big food triggers for me. :cool2: I was at the grocery store after work - wanted a lamb shank (they didn't have any ) but I was looking at the sweets - Cookies - ice cream - donuts - cin rolls - Oh I wanted some :thumbup: In the bakery section looked at the sweet rolls but nothing appealed to me - Just got some dark choc sf pudding - but at the cash register - I looked at the candy - but said to myself - you don't need it.. So GREAT NSV... I didn't buy any - not that I didn't want to - but if I don't have it I can't eat it... Hope the watermelon I got is good - I haven't cut it yet - It pisses me off when they aren't good.. How things with BF & SIL ??? Is it straighten it's self out yet?? -
I had my first NSV today. I am a hospice nurse and after seeing my patient I was walking in the hallway and the nurse came up to me and said, I did not recognize you from the back. I said, what do you mean, she said, your backside is really slimming down. It wasn't until you turned around that I recognized you. Needless to say, I was all smiles.

Personal challenge between HP and D!!!

Congrats HP!!! That is an amazing NSV!! Glad you have power back! I cant imagine, I would have been miserable! -
Good Morning to all my little June Bugs! :thumbup: No one has been posting on this board for a few days so I thought I would spark it up again! I've had lots of little NSV's since June and all were very similar to yours, so everytime I would read one of yours I'd just chuckle to myself. So here's one that I had this morning that just put a huge smile on my face...I have a pair of really sexy knee high boots that for the past 2 years I would have to leave half zippered under my pant leg because it would not zip up all the way for the life of me! Well, to my delight, they actually zipped up all the way with no trouble at all this morning!!! Yayayayayayaaa!!! :smile2: Since surgery, I have slimmed down all over, and not just in one spot so the loss is really coming along nicely. Hubby keeps saying how I'm looking sexier by the day and he can't seem to keep his hands off me! :smile: (I know, I know, TMI!!) So, I've lost 40 lbs total since the beginning of the year and 32 lbs since surgery!!! I think I'm doing great and seem to be right where I should be with the loss! People are really starting to notice lately and I've been getting so many compliments, which feels great! Also, I've had virtually no sagging or loose skin at all. I think that has alot to do with my age and my skin type (we have really great skin in my family) and also with the fact that I've been walking, walking, walking! Anyhow, hope you're all doing well! Does anyone have any good meal ideas that you'd like to share? I do get bored sometimes so I'd like to shake it up a bit! Hope to hear from you all soon! I also need to update my ticker and I can't quite figure out how to do it! Take care all! xoxoxo

I hear you Liquid!! Mine is on October 20th!! So much for my docs comment "We may even fill at 3 weeks if you are really hungry and healed well enough!" I figured hey that may get me a fill between 3-6 weeks but 8 weeks!!! OMG!!! and I know I won't be able to go to him between 6-8 weeks due to him being on holiday, could suck up to an associate but I'll see how I go! Well done everyone on the weight loss!! I am not too discouraged as I did start at a lower BMI so I figured I may not lose as quickly after the initial weight loss anyway! Oh and a NSV I just heard. My hairdresser (kate) who coloured my hair also does my sis-in-law and my SIL told me that when she had her hair done last week Kate said she couldn't believe how much weight I'd lost and thought I looked great! :thumbup: Also I've noticed quite a few work collegues giving me that corner of the eye look up and down! I had one girl earlier this week give me it and then comment on how she loved my new hairdo and I said "Thanks and I've been losing weight, got a bit to go but I'm getting there!" and it was an open invitation she was very animated in her reply "You have lost a lot and are looking great!" It cracks me up though watching peoples reactions but weight being such a sensitive thing they don't want to say anything!But I know they notice and it gives me warm fuzzies :smile2:

Hey, I had a NSV to share with everyone... We are the proud parents of a kitten that we rescued from being under a car in the parking lot where I work. Yesterday, I was down on the floor playing with her, and crawling around and when I got up I didn't even have to think about how I was going to do it... I haven't crawled around on the floor like that in a long time, and being able to get right up without any difficulty!!!!!! 63 pounds makes a difference!!!!!:thumbup:

nsv - thinking like a thin person
donnabarney posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was with another family on saturday. we were a function together. I was with my mom, and then put on my sun glasses and followed them. I called out to my friend to wait for me. her husband said "who is the skinning women". I felt so great. I was heavy for 15 years and thanks to my band and my trainer at the gym I am only 20-30 pounds and from my goal in 7 months. I think that having a trainer if you can afford it, (I don't eat out any more and save that money for my trainer), has been the best thing that has happened to me. I'm also duing the grouse grind on saturday, again for the 5th weekend in a row with my trainer and my kids. its 2900 stairs up the mountain, and amost 2 miles straight up and takes me 1 hour and 20 min. I'm still having a problem with thinking that I am still obese, and wonder who that person in the mirror is. I'm hoping that by the one year I can work around that. anyway just wanted to let someone know how it is going. -
Woot! Another NSV this evening! I went to the Y w/DD & DH... they were going to play racquetball & I figured I'd do the treadmill or the weights... but as I was walking in I saw the schedule of aerobics classes and starting @ 6 was a "Zumba" class!... I'd seen a piece on it on the "Today" show about a year ago... latin-dance inspired exercise... so I thought I'd "give it a whirl!" (my motto!)! All I can say is "Whoo!" It kicked my butt -- but in a fun way! All that latin music made me crave a 'rita after!! ha ha! I was soaked w/sweat -- seriously, my hair looked like I just got out of the shower! DD was incredulous, because it is known far & wide that "Momma doesn't like to sweat!" This is all part of my new resolve to try new exercises & GMIAG!! I am proud of myself that I was spontaneous and tried something new!! I will definitely go back if/when my schedule allows (it is *very* rare that I can do something like that in the evening, but because ds was sick & dd amazingly didn't have an activity, I was able to tonight!) Going to go log in on bodybugg & see how many steps & cals it was!!

Oooo Oooo.... My turn!!!! Kat18 I have you beat in the age department, but this weight loss thing makes me feel 20 again! I've had several NSVs over the last couple weeks. 1st from my Dad. He hasn't seen me since last December. I got my band last November, so I hadn't lost much weight when he saw me last. I went home for his 50th wedding anniversary party. When I walked in the door, he walked toward me and literally stopped in his tracks. His mouth hung open and he just stared. When he finally regained his composure, he says: "My God. You look like a movie star!" (I have cut and bleached my hair, and got a new makeover) Added to this.... My sister picked me up from the airport. I told her I would meet her out front and would be wearing a red and white polka dot top. She drives toward me and my cousin tells her, there's a red and white top, that must be her. My sister tells, my cousin, "NO, that's not her. She's to tall and she's blonde and skinny." IT WAS ME!!! My hubby called me yesterday and told me that he wanted me to go out shopping this weekend for a fantastic outfit. We have been invited to a very posh and elegant party. Okay..... Then he says, "I've always wanted to see you in a little black dress. with pearls. (He bought these over the summer for my birthday)Get some sexy black pumps and black hose. Simple elegance. I want everyone to see what a trophy wife I have, and those rich bastards can eat their hearts out!" I couldn't stop grinning. My eyes are tearing up just thinking about what he said!! My oldest son is moving out of our house in the next week or two. My husband told me that his first purchase upon exit was going to be a blow up baby pool. ?????? WHAT?????? What for, I ask? He goes on to tell me he wants to put it in the middle of the living room in front of the fireplace and put Astroglide all in it and roll all over me in the firelight...... *GASP* Me?????? He says he wants to start having some REAL fun with his new wife...... *blushing*........ From where we were two years ago in our marriage, this is like a dream come true for me!! (I also can't beleive I told you all about this.....)

You know I've always been a one bone kind a gal too!!! One just One! You're good with the exercise, I'm good with the eating... let's just make one person out of us and we'll be successful! We could be the Sheldee~ That's great!!! I had the same thing today! I bought a pair of jeans from Old Navy online. It was during their big jean sale, $9.99 a pair. I got some really cute ones! BUT they are all huge on me!!! Yikes! Really huge! I can pull them off and on without unbuttoning them! Size 22! AND I started at size 32! Don't you love it! I can't believe you're wearing a 12! Mountain, hill, ant hill -- it's all an achievement! AND something to be proud of!! Congrats! that's a great NSV! -
NSV alert ---> I fit into an XL!!!! I knew I needed a new coat this year, and I want something WARM. So I was eyeing an LL Bean down coat. They are much more expensive in Women's sizes, so I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, I could squeeze into an XL. I was reluctant to spend $100 to try it though, so I got this one off of Ebay before making the investment.... L.L Bean Crimson Insulated Quilted Barn Jacket coat XL - eBay (item 300257064951 end time Sep-15-08 10:11:15 PDT) And, it fits!!! A little tight in the belly, but not too bad. By cold weather it should do just fine. I'm so excited. I haven't been in Misses sizes since college when I lost a lot of weight for a few months. Woohoo! I know I'm nowhere near XL in regular clothing. But I'm still excited. It's not an ugly, freezing cold Woman Within coat!

Jaime - I got fills that were a few months apart. This worked for me (especially since I had to travel to get them) because I had to "adjust" myself...and also knowing FOR SURE that I needed a fill. I've lost a decent amount of weight. A little slower than others, but it's not a race, it's life! You don't HAVE TO get a fill anyway, it just helps the tool to work better. Just take your time and PLAN on a few fills the first year - you'll be fine and we're here for support. Brandy - thinking/praying for you and your DH...even way up here! Maybe the Northern Lights ARE majical?! Mini - that's just WAY COOL that you've been chosen. You should be very proud of how you've coped with this terrible disease in your life. I'm not sure I could be so graceful. Now: the boobs - I, too, have breast cancer in my near maternal side, but breast tissue changes so rapidly that I wouldn't get myself all worked up about it - because that can cause tissue changes too! The neighbors - this is going to sound corny/cheesy, but why don't you pray for your neighbors? Yeah, go ahead with the lawyers, etc., but maybe they just need a friend and that's why they want to live so close. After all that praying I suggest getting some really loud, young, super ADHD foster kids to play in the back yard! :thumbup: Works here! Lifesaver - I'm totally not interested in BFL (although that may change), but I wanted to thank you for passing along valuable information. Thank you, thank you! I was just thinking that I wrote, but no one was listening...then WHAMO tons of kudos for my NSV leather jacket! Thank you so much...I really DO need that sometimes! As do we all or we wouldn't be here. Halloween Challenge: Got my scale working so maybe I'll be able to weigh myself Friday. I'm on a volleyball team now and that's at least getting me active (and bruised...you should see my arms!)...even got slamed in the head from a Samoan spiking the ball! I'm so tough! (Sarcasm there!) Anyway, I've decided to not try so hard with the dieting...I was so miserable last week and not enjoyable to be around...I decided that I'll just be more careful about what I put in my mouth and choose "good" food over crap and see how that goes. I may be in need of a fill, but that's not happening for a while if it does at all. I'm not quitting, but I'm not going to be as miserable as I was a couple of years ago when I WAS fat and didn't have the Band! -
Last year when I went down for the Vikings game there, I was a little disappointed in some of the crowd. They didn't seem to understand when to be loud and when to be quiet. Most of the people around me seemed ok, but still not overly loud. Last night, at least on TV, seemed like you guys were right on the whole game. Especially at the end for the Shegals last 2 drives. From the fans not in attendance, Thank You. Gotcha on the Shiner. Next time I get down there, I'll have to give it a go. As for the food, you gotta live a little also, just work it off. I really loved the tailgating down there, great people sharing everything. Had a Hispanic family parked directly across from us that had a HUGE setup complete with the Texas Longhorns tent/cover. They offered us everything they had foodwise and asked for nothing in return. Gotta love those Texans! And great nsv! I love that feeling of sitting w/o going into DW's seat anymore. One for me, this past Saturday we had a SWAT team get together at one of the Lt's house. As it was rainy and chilly, DW decided she would grab my new black Champion sweatshirt with our emblem and SWAT embroidered on it. I had to fight her to get it back because she loved it because it is only an XL and she doesn't "swim" in it like before.

there was NO sitting - only at halftime, maybe. as a season ticket holder, and spending every other wkend at TX stadium - including the last 7 thanksgivings.... it was just electric last night. and the game was off the hook! we got there aroun 4'ish to tailgate & the parking lot was already packed - hubby wasn't the only guy around who took the day off:wink: so quickly a few interesting NSV's about this football game. *as hubby and i gained weight - sitting in the stadium was "VERY close". more like spilling into each others seat. last night - i was (during commercial break) able to sit indian style in my seat - not touch anyone! *tailgating is ALWAYS so much food, nice to take A bite of everything w/out gorging - still ate high cal food, but ... eat better today??? LOL *shiner (That's TX beer Ceradad) - only takes 3 and i'm a cheap date..:laugh: back to being good today - bring on GB is right!
