Help me! What's NSV?
-
Ohhhhhhh no no no ! ! ! Not yet, we're waiting until at least late April-Mayish before we even try. We wrap it up every time without fail. If it did happen, we would be elated, but we're not trying. Thank you to everyone. Chancie, I love your most recent NSV. Keep up the great work ! ! !

Today is one month since my surgery. I'm down 21 lbs on my scale! My NSV was yesterday and today. I have a few pairs a pants that were my size but just too tight compared to the others. I was able to wear one pair yesterday and just put on the other pair-they feel even better! These are really the first things I can really say I noticed!!!

I thought this may be silly but it's my first NSV... I was looking down at some cabling on the floor and then noticed my ankles... i have ankles now and not huge swollen ankles. They are so small and normal now.. . silly thing i know but for awhile they had been so puffy and swollen looking months before surgery. Also i can't remember when the last time i was excited to get on the scale and see what's happened in a week.. I get to weigh myself tomorrow yay!!

This morning I was getting ready for church. When I came out my husband said "those pants are way too big you need to find another pair." I told him I had just cleaned out my closet of all of the clothes that were too big and that these seemed to fit the best of any of them. He said I needed to hold them to keep them up at church. After church he went to my second closet and brought out two more tubs of clothes and told me to see if I could find some clothes that fit. What a great NSV.

Love hearing my sons say..you're looking good mom. Wouldn't trade this for anything. Lml. trixie's line

3 months out and NSV I had a follow up appointment with my Diabetes Dr. The staff had not seen me since before my surgery. The staff did not recognize me. To top off the day my labs were great. my A1C is a 5.9 Diabetes well controlled.

They never end, love the NSV. Yesterday ran into someone involved in one of my kids' activities I hadn't seen in two years, she didn't recognize me, she said-- oh we used to see your son all the time but he was never with you, who was that with him?

Ok, so I made a daytrip up to Cedar Rapids, IA today (5 1/2 hr drive one way) and about 2 hrs into the drive, my butt started to hurt a little. I finally realized its because I don't have much cushion left on the tushy.... So, my butt bones were sitting on the car seat. Very uncomfortable drive. Guess its time to get a pillow and look like an old lady. A weird NSV, but who would have thought I wouldn't have enough fat left on my butt that sitting in the car would ever be a problem. LOL

I had my first post op surgery NSV today! It was so neat. . . i moved my daughter into her dorms today and then we needed to go purchase some text books. . . well the book store is about 3 stories up with stairs only, by the time we got up there and looking around, my poor daughter was sweating up a storm, me. . .usually i'd be there sweating like nobody's business right along with her, but there I was freezing and bundled up in my sweater. . . she asked if i wasn't hot, nope i was actually very very cold. . . yippy no more sweating like a sauna

Woot! I haven't been on in awhile, but congrats on all of those great NSVs! :thumbup: I graduated from college this past Saturday, and at our graduation practice, I had two classmates (neither of whom has seen me since at least December, and I got sleeved in Jan.) make comments. And this was with my gown on. One said, "Wow, Randi! You look amazing! How much weight have you lost?!" And I just said "a lot." :lol0: And the other girl (a SKINNY girl) said "Holy crap, Randi! You're like half the size you were before. You look awesome! How are you doing that? Just eating better?" And I said..."yep" hahaha. :001_tt2: I love when other people notice. Makes it all feel much more real.

Hello Everyone -- I hope that you all had a great 4th of July! I know I did. I guess you can say that I had my first NSV. I was able to enjoy most of the "traditional" cuisine (BBQ) on this festive day of independence, in much smaller portions of course. I got on the scale this morning and didn't gain an ounce!! I don't think I can recall a holiday that I didn't gain weight. This was awesome for me :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: . I have noticed that my appetite is just now starting to pick up a bit. I'm not sure if it's because I'm excercising more or the swelling is down. I think probably both. I get my first fill next week. I think the timing is perfect! How is everyone else doing? Melissa Lea

Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
TracyinKS replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
GOOD MORNING! Kat: Please let us know what is going on with your headache... and as for your MIL... well from what you've said about her she is a piece of work and her comments should just be filed under "hot air" You KNOW you are doing great! Laura: How was the concert???? Denise: I agree with you... until your dd is ready to do ANYTHING you need to hang tight. You are doing wonderfully! MS_JEN: Whooooooohoooooo on the Jean NSV. Prayers go out to your husband......... apple fritter sounds goooooooood TracyK: I too love the cut and color! Terry: Going in for unfill tomorrow? Pam: Leak check in Haydee: I know your busy with the move but we miss you around here. Judy: I LOVE your pics! Scone: How are you doing today? Jennifur: Where are you??? I woke up this morning feeling actual hip bones (when laying flat) I still have belly in the center but just the fact that I can now feel actual bones is a HUGE NSV......... so I thought.. MAYBE this would be the morning I could button the jeans....... so I got the gut sucker out of my drawer and wiggled it on.... put the jeans on and even though they did go over my hips better the BELLY STILL wouldn't budge..... dang it! But they are getting ever so close maybe two more weeks....... I have two pairs of size 14 Levis and about 5 pairs of size 12's............. my goal is to button the 12's by Christmas (they are mid rise boot cut stretch) My restriction is evident: I scrambled 3 eggs last night for dinner with a bit of cottage cheese and cheddar...... I gave my son the plate that had the bigger portion and then sprinkled some homeade salsa on top of mine... I DID NOT FINISH IT.. went down fine, I just got full fast. However I did get hungry again around 7 and I ate some spaghetti meat sauce...... it also went down fine............ all in all I would say I ate the equivalent of 1/2 cup at each sitting......... I wonder if this restriction will stick for a while. I have several must do projects today so I will check in when I can. WWJD! -
Shrinking Violets -- April 07 Bandsters
janiebug replied to TracyinKS's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well I had a nsv moment, I have not been able to wear a seatbelt for I don't know how long, years. I finally tried and it worked! Now the past two weeks I have gained weight. I want to lose weight right now for my 1 year weight loss anniversary!!! It is the 17th of August and I really really really want to lose 100 pounds by then. The problem is I can't get a fill until th 16th, and I am back to my old habits of eating sweets and things not good for me. I really started exercising again the other day and am hoping that helps. Pam, I LOVE your closet!! I want one big like that!!! Jane -
JULY 2014 SLEEVERS GROUP
lucclu81 replied to SMED0308's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the focus should not be only the scale but also non-scale victories NSVs....I fit xyz better, I'm able to A longer, etc. also remember you may not be losing weight but you may be losing inches. Take measurements and do comparisons. Also I think slower weightloss helps with your skin elasticity and having less sagging skin. Be positive the surgeries work and you're doing your part....it will all fall in place!! -
Sandra - wonderful NSV, I but it makes you feel great. Better get used to gettin those complements!!! Weazer- must of been something in the air last night I went on an Ice Cream rampage myself. But, I have confess my sins and forgiven myself and am bound and determined to stay on the straight and narrow path today. Laura

Hello, I sure missed you guys. We went to Richmond Friday evening for a baby shower. Our niece and her husband adopted a baby and they had a huge gathering to show him off. We ended up spending the night at hubby's sisters. We had a good time. Came home and stayed in my jammies all day and in my chair. Just felt a cold coming on and I wanted to fight it off. Today I was wanting to go to the Mall and get some shopping done. I took Abby and that was a mistake. We had a ball but ai couldn't get any shopping done. However I did have a huge NSV. Abby decided that she wanted to ride the huge merry-go-round. Not just ride it but to go up on the second floor and ride the pony up there. I actually had to go up there with her and ride. Yup, that was me up there on the merr-go-round. It was a lot of fun but after awhile I was getting dizzy. We had a wonderful day today and she wore me out. I'm all for the chocoholic trip. Maybe next year we could have the group get-together there. I will just have to not tell my sis I'm going. I just go and then tell her after I get back. LOL. Have a great evening

NSVs this week: 1. Had to buy new bras because mine were allowing the girls to escape. 2. Had to buy a new pair of jeans. Mine came off without being unbuttoned or unzipped. Unfortunately, the new ones are already looking baggy. 3. Saw a friend's hubby this week for a sad occasion. I don't see him much, but , when I went to hug my friend's hubby, HE commented on how much weight I've lost. 4. Chopped down and cut up four trees in my new yard. Okay, they weren't huge, but still a lot of work I'd have never been able to tackle before surgery. I got a decent work out, but was able to do the job myself instead of waiting on "some man" to come do the job. 5. In the same vein, I've spent a bunch of time rearranging furniture and crawling on the floor to re-route computer, cable, and printer wires. I'd have NEVER been able to do that 81 pounds ago! Overall, I'm very pleased with my progress!!!

"for the first time in 3.5 years, I literally fell asleep in my love's arms." Tiff, that brings tears to my eyes, it such a sweet, sweet NSV. The best I've ever heard. Nothing trivial about it, just the opposite. The journey you have been on is so remarkable. You should write a book; I am sure it would be successful. Soak up the love, Tiff...and enjoy! And thanks for sharing your personal journey.

Jane that is so cool about skiing. I would love to ski with my kids. I am glad to hear you're enjoying it more. It's so much fun, and just gorgeous out there in the mountains. I had a new NSV. I haven't had one in awhile . I was at the gym and I noticed this guy staring at me. He was about my age and I've seen him at the gym a lot over the years. I was doing lunges and squats and I asked him if I was doing something wrong. He replied "No, not at all. I was just admiring you"

Big NSV for me this weekend - Moved both of the boys back to the dorms to start college. Just like last year, we carried all the stuff in, then went to Target to pick up all of the last minute things. Last year, my knees were screaming and my feel were like fat puffy sausages that were threatening to burst at any moment. I didn't dare sit down anywhere because I knew I would never be able to get up and walk back out to the car again. This year....we carried everything in, put it away and then as I was walking through Target I realized something.... I FELT GOOD!! AND HAPPY!!! I had energy and I wasn't hurting anywhere!! We bopped back over to the college and had to run through the rain (ok, well I am still pretty big lol so I maybe more like did this weird loping fast walk thing haha) back into the dorms and finished setting up the rooms. It doesn't really seem like much when I write about it now, but it felt so good!! :nono:

This is kind of creepy but too funny to keep to myself.. I am six weeks out and down forty pounds from starting weight. I have noticed that i am getting a lot of random male attention. Got hit on, doors held open, the elevator kept waiting, rushed ahead in lines and even got a rose from my smoothie guy. I knew stuff like this could start happening. The thing that struck me the most though was when a arandom homeless guy said, " hey sexy". It hit me that i hadnt been hit on in many many years - not even by the homeless!! Is it a nsv?? Well, it has nothing to do with the homeless guy but i gotta say, it was indeed an nsv!!!

My first NSV is that my hip has not been hurting me since I had surgery. It's amazing what the few pounds I lost on my preop diet and since surgery have done for me. I was having to take a strong NSAID for my hip and another pill to keep the NSAID from messing up my stomach. Now, I don't even need to think about it. My knees feel better too. YAY!
