OK I'll ask!!! What does NSV stand for? :faint: :help: It took me a long time to figure out what PB meant, I was embarrassed to ask. I'm still trying to figure out some of the lingo here.

Ceparano replied to Ceparano's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
40 mins. at Curves today......my scale was kind to me this morning.... I'm happy to report I've lost 5 #'s since Sept. 4th (when I joined Curves and started taking Trimspa) Bluehill: See, you must be loosing inches for yor Chiropracter to notice your weight loss. Yeah!!! Congratulations on that NSV. Roberta -
It's funny how words sometimes are missing feeling, emotion and inflection and can sometimes not convey what the writer was intending to convey. Please forgive me if I was a bit forward in asking for your statistics. I truly did not mean that you should provide anything you don't want to provide. I was more in the mindset of possibly helping you recognize some NSV's that you may have over looked. scale Victories are not the only important victory here...... You could be feeling healthier. I know my blood pressure dropped significantly just in losing a few pounds. You could be 2 sizes smaller and have built muscle like ddiedre stated, which weighs more than fat. You could have more energy, confidence, I could go on and on. Try making a list of NSV's that you have had so far, maybe that will give you a more positive perspective of where you are right now. Take care,

.....The weather is a-changing. The cool weather has brought out the jeans. This morning, I took out some size 20 pants that were previously too small, put them on for the first time since being banded, and now they are too big.:clap2: Damn, missed the opportunity to wear those. :heh: Size 18's are still too small, so will wear whatever fits until then. Thank you band, Thankyouverymuch!

Let's begin now as a "soft" start up. Keep track daily of - Water intake in ounces - calories consumed and an estimate of Protein grams - minutes of exercise on your personal journal (LBT journal is no longer available--use fitday.com or whatever is easiest for you) Post WEEKLY every Sunday in your signature line your totals for the week (Sunday - Saturday). Barbara has volunteered to give us a "ticker" or example of how to post. This week we will keep track in our journals from Wed - Sat and on Sunday 9/23 (an incomplete week--but let's get started!) I will post your progress from what you have in your signature line. We will have one complete week (9/24 - 9/30) to post b4 the "official" tallies begin. The actual challenge will begin Sunday October 1. Official tallies will begin October 8. Questions??? Public is best--so we can all learn and "tweak" together, but I welcome any PM's if things aren't clear to you There are some "habits" that I need to reinforce--that aren't in this challenge. - chew each bite 30 times - be "kind" to my band by eliminating foods that don't digest easily (tomato skins, sweet potatoes that have stringy flesh, seeds or nuts, small bites of bread, that 3rd cup of coffee) - always carry a hi protein snack bar in my purse, car, etc. If you want--please add an NSV to your weekly totals, i.e., "Chewed each bite 30 times this week, Found an exercise partner, etc.

I know this is a silly NSV, but after I got ready for work this morning, I looked down and noticed that my shoelaces are tied in the middle now, and I didn't even think about it. No more "tie to the inside" for me!!

You're right mandi. I was at the grocery store and the guy behind me had plain lettuce salad thingy. I was thinking mmm that looks good. and I don't really like salad. Made Cookies for my kids and they actually got to eat them! I think that a NSV!!!! Oh I slay myself!!!!

I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!! you know, ever since i got this band, i really have not committed myself to the necessary practices to achieve marked success...thus i have only lost 20 tiny little lbs since march. but today, i had an NSV that was not even weight related!! i completely attribute this NSV to my band, and the way that it has, indeed, modified my behavior. i go for a tweak tomorrow. i have been beating myself up, like i do before every fill because i have not lost more weight. in a moment of weakness, i bought a king size pack of reece's pb cups. got to the car, could not even weight...i mean wait...to get out of the parking lot and i had the package ripped open. i stopped to get gas, thinking i would finish the pack off while waiting on the money meter to stop rolling. would you believe that i finished the one single cup and did not want anymore? i was actually able to recognize that the single cup was enough to satisfy the madness. i tickle myself sometimes...i know, that's perverted, i shouldnt do that...AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! i am so happy!

I consider finding out I have sleep apnea and getting it treated on of the best NSV of getting banded so far. I feel SOOO much better after about a month on CPAP. My surgeon required a sleep study for me. For DH is was suggested, not required. He goes by your BMI, neck size for men and if you have any symptoms. Given the implications of problems it can cause if unknown, didn't bother me at all.

Stetsi Stephani, I don't know how you can deal with plucking ppls eyebrows lol. I could NOT do it lol. I can barely handle having my own done, I keep my eyes closed the whole time! Ouch! I think it would be fun to put make up on ppl though. So have you ever purposely made someone look like a clown? Like some really obnoxious rude person? lol I would hhehehe. *evil grin* Michelle that picture is so funny! Even my husband got a kick out of that one. Im so glad we have this julyster thread. When we all become skinny bi**hes we'll have to have a big hurrah in some tropical place. ericsmom Stefanie, congrats on the nsvs! I can't wait until you start posting some before and after pictures, Im sure the change is remarkable. Keep up the good work!! You motivate me sooo much. Thank you. Ruthie, hope you feel better soon. I'll pray that you do and that you find a good caregiver too. Beth congratulations on becoming a purrfect grandma! lol for years my Mom was my cat's grandma too hehe. Everyone talks about my cat like he's a person, its so funny. Even now and I have 2 daughters. Isn't it funny how attached we can get to our four-legged friends. Im back to square one on my strep throat, the antibiotic shot they gave me started to seem to work for a bit, but now it seems my infection is over-powering it. Im going to go back in tomorrow and get a different anti-biotic. I feel like im just post-op again as im on a liquid diet. Its hell. Ive never had strep before this, it feels like theres a razor blade stuck in the back of my throat. The worst part is, im dehydrated because I can barely drink liquids even. So I think my breast milk is drying up. *sniff*.

Hello all, just checking in...I have a long list of things to do today, starting with picking up my son from Boy Scout camp at 11am. It's a 30 minute drive, so I'll leave about 10:15-10:30. Then I need to come home and pay some bills...something I've been neglecting to do for about 2 weeks (I know, that is so bad!). I had two nice NSV's yesterday. I get together with four other ladies practically every Friday night. Well, I haven't seen them in two weeks. One came to my garage sale yesterday and the first thing she said was "OMG look at you! Pretty soon you'll be smaller than me!!" I guess it's getting more noticeable. Then I went to another one's house to pick something up and she said "Holy Cow! How much have you lost now?!" She sid you can really tell through my upper chest and neck. Yippee!! I'd love to see 270 by Halloween!! Well, I'd better get myself ready to go. I'll check in later

I also had about 220lbs to lose before surgery. I was scared too (most of us were) but it turned out fine. The surgery itself wasn't a big deal. I was in and out of the hospital within a few hours. By that afternoon I was home walking around with a bit of a sore tummy and not much else to complain about! You're right, this is a huge life changing decision. But as someone who had a ton to lose as well, I can say that I am so happy I didn't do something more extreme like GB or something because my success has been comparable with my band versus the other options. I've lost over 100 pounds so far and I don't have plans for stopping. So yes, if you're prepared to work at it then I think it will help you too. Once you get some weight off you'll see your life improving. There are tons of NSV (non scale victories) mentioned on this site that will inspire you and help you see how people are getting their lives back. Very motivating! Good luck with the appointment and let us know what you decide.

Hello all, I am so excited today, I just have to share! I have lost over 40 pounds now since August, and I have been down lately thinking no one even can tell. So in the time I am the lowest I had to go to a business meeting. I was not myself, people commented how down I was. And THEN my friend looked at me and said "You've lost a sh*tload of weight" They way she said it I was just cracking up. But I was so happy that someone finally noticed. And then the woman to her right said "I thought so too, but I didn't want to ask!" That feels better than the clothes that feel better, the smaller size all of it! Someone finally noticed! lol...I just had to share! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
