Nsv!!!

[RayLandry 18]

Before, I never gave much thought to the NSV's that everyone talks about. But before, I was enjoying consistent genuine scale victories, so I wasn't in tuned with the importance of a NSV! Well, I have kinda hit a wall at losing the pounds,but my recent NSV has giving me positive reinforcement to my whole Lapband experience!

My job requires a yearly check up that includes: eyesight, hearing and blood pressure. Last year my blood presure was 164/94. The nurse made me lay down to see if my BP would drop a little before she would allow me to get back to work. It only dropped very little, but I had to agree to get it checked by my PCP. Well today I had my annual physical and my BP was 122/ 76. How cool is that! The weight loss and the exercising that I am doing are really paying dividends!

One side note..............during the hearing test, we are placed into a soundproof hearing chamber. During the test, I could hear my stomach making some really weird gurgly noises! Noises that up until now, I wasn't aware that were happening! I mean some funny sounding noises! Anyone else ever heard their tummy "sing" like this? I was cracking myself up just listening!

We should all get together and play name that tune

Well done, Ray!!! You're fit as a fiddle

My stomach gurgles/sings constantly. More so when I'm too tight as well. It can be soooooo embarassing in a quiet office lol.

Oh I'm ALL ABOUT the gurgly tummy. Especially when I've just recently eaten. Glug, glug. I just sort of put a hand on my tum near where my band would be to try to muffle the sounds. lol.

Good on ya for the NSV too!!

Those are all great NSV's, I am so happy for you.

I am always telling my band that it's ok and it doesn't need to cry, I am aware it is there, I am the opposite of everyone else, I gurggle when I am hungry.~Mandy

What is an NSV?

I'm new and see it mentioned everywhere but I guess everyone else knows what it means.

NSV = Non scale Victory (something great that does not have anything to do with weight/numbers)
