On A Major Stall, But With Multiple Nsvs This Week
SarSmyle replied to Catracks's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Congratulations on all the awesome NSVs and I think the dress Looks beautiful and not "out of date" at all.... Enjoy it! Sent from my iPhone using VST -
It's so weird that there's no logic to this system. I wear an 18/20 on top and usually a 20 on the bottom depending on the cut. I'm much heavier than other people in the same sizes, but I'm also much taller than most. What frustrates the hell out of me is that according to the size charts of most vendors, I should be wearing a much larger size. With my 45" bust, 43" waist, and 53" hips the charts say I should be wearing a 26 / 3X, but now I'm wearing an XL top and 2X bottoms. I repeatedly ask my husband if my clothes actually fit, or if it's just my imagination. He swears I'm not walking around in too-tight clothes, which is something I've always tried to avoid like the plague. (NSV alert: On vacation it was so cool to be able to choose from the huge selection of XL t-shirts at the souvenir shops, instead of having to limit myself to what's available in 2X or 3X. I haven't EVER had this choice as an adult. I love it!)

On A Major Stall, But With Multiple Nsvs This Week

Congrats on your NSVs!!! In another note, I've always wanted to go to Knotts Berry Farn. -
Do you weigh yourself everyday? Bad/good?
violetroyalty replied to wagyu's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I try not to but I've noticed I'm weighing myself everyday, I'll try not to tho I feel is not very good for me, I like to see weekly results and NSV -
Remember you are in this for the long run. In my case it was not unusual to lose weight and then gain weight. I walk quite a bit which I find relaxing. When I do gain a little weight for a while I tend to concentrate on the NSV(Non Scale Victory). In my particular case I no longer use a cpap machine or take medicine for diabetes.

I'm not being banded until tomorrow so I can't talk from experience but I've read a lot that we shouldn't always pay attention to the numbers on the scale to determine success. Wow -- with all that exercise you sound like you're doing great. Don't forget muscle weighs more than "fat". Celebrate your non scale victories (NSV). Good luck!

Pardon my ignorance, but what is an NSV?

Who are you and what have you done with my wife?
Alexandra replied to Alexandra's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Thanks! I sent this pic to my brother who hasn't seen me in several years. He said "Cool. I'm trying to think of an insult, but I really can't." (You'd have to know him to know that means he's utterly astounded, to the point of speechlessness. THAT'S a ginormous NSV right there, actually!!) -

Great NSV Alex and a beautiful blouse! Great picture of you and the girls too! -

FUN NSV - Now when I sit down and look down, I can actually see my navel!!! I no longer have that gi-normous spare tire blocking my view. Does anyone else have some fun non-scale victories to share?

Congrats everyone!!! Great NSVs. I am constantly amazed by the things I fit through. I take up way less space in reality than I do in my head...In my head I am still a million gagillion inches wide... But fitting between people and things is WAY easier now! Rain

Sounds like a serious NSV to me! Big congrats, eh. And you will be losing the lbs, too. Keep on enjoying the trip.

I've had a bunch of NSVs recently! When I sit in a chair I find myself crossing my legs without even thinking about it! And I can sit like that for a while, unlike before, where after 30 seconds it hurt to keep them crossed. I actually have the following body parts (or at least now I'm 100% sure): A neck! A hip bone! Collar bones! A rib cage! Also, the chairs in my classrooms are the chairs with an attached desk, which are not big people friendly by any means! Last year I could barely sit comfortably in them. Now I have plenty of room to move and I can even cross my legs under them! And......I bought an XL sweater from the Misses department!!!! I'm not quite an XL in tops yet, but this one fit, so who cares, it wasn't a plus size!:tt2::w00t::smile:

GREAT NSV's Mine... (besides the clothes I'm fitting into again) is.... The proud feeling I have walking OUT of the gym all sweaty and red faced!

Best POSSIBLE NSV: I keep shaking my head and saying "I can't see it!" when people tell me how much they can tell I've lost. Today DH was hugging me and said, 'Oh, yeah -- look how much farther my arms go around you now!!' As he turned me to look in the mirror! I think I might get someone to snap THAT shot for my Before and After photos....I like using him for my 'tape measure'!!! Nana<----still DOESN'T SEE IT, but can't seem to lose that silly grin today!

wow what a wonderful NSV!! Great Job... I love the clothes from Old Navy I cant wait to shop there myself!!!

On Wednesday it will be one month since my surgery and I feel great!!! My NSV is that I can fit into 3 different pairs of jeans I had saved that I haven't been able to fit into in over 9 months! YAYA!! P.S And... there even starting to get loose now!

I went to the drs. yesterday and realized, while sitting in the waiting room, that my butt didn't fill the entire seat. Then, while at my sister's house, my butt didn't fill her entire seat either. YEAH!!! I love love love NSVs! Oh, and I lost enough weight that the dr. will consider doing something that he wouldn't do 70lbs ago....Best day ever!!! Rain

Here are two quick ones....yesterday we went to Outback for lunch. Whoever designed their booths must be an avowed 'fattie hater', because they are HORRIFIC!! I've been able to get in them since a couple of months after surgery (couldn't EVEN before!), but getting out was not always a pretty sight and often required my husband's assistance. Yesterday, I was up and out of the booth before HE was and we both looked at each other with shock, then began to LOL!!! The other one made us LOL, too!!! A couple of weeks ago I noticed (don't know when it actually happened!) that my navel has gone from looking like this --> O to looking like this --> | !!!! Now that's not at all 'pretty', but, it'll be 'fixed' eventually, but for now, it's a big NSV......SOMETHING had to have happened for that dramatic change!

Hello NSV is my favorite place to post. My NSV today is I bought the cutest bra and panty set. Not the mammoth 46DD horse halter and just my size panties that could cover a small pool. But a very pink with lots of lace 36D . My first happy shopping experience in years.

Bumping up this thread because I love it! Here's my most recent NSV! A year and half ago I could barely walk a mile on 3mph. Now I run comfortably at 6mph and last week I ran my fastest mile!
