Hi everyone,

I had a non-scale victory of mine own last week.

I have avoided wearing pantyhose for a several months. I live in Florida, and it is not unusual.

I needed t go to a family funeral in the Midwest.

So, I checked the weight chart and decided that

I could now wear a "B" size in Legg's pantyhose. The last pair I had bought was a Q2.

Wow, I was amazed how nicely they fit.

I have not worn anything that didn't say "Q' in pantyhose in several years! I am so psyched, I had to share with you. Karen(kll724):w00t:

Getting dressed this morning, my husband looked at me and said "WOW - I can really see the difference". Guess he wasn't looking that closely before - LOL.

It was nice to hear, since when you live with someone the changes are slow to see.

All these NSV's make me smile.

I'd type out a few, but I'm about to go get ready for a HUGE NSV .. going to walk (and maybe run a little) in my first 5K tomorrow!! (if it doesn't rain big time).

Great idea!

Here are some of mine:

  • wedding rings fit perfectly now
  • more energy (have to be careful to hide this, I've been volunteering to clean out the back of my hubby's work truck, fill the wood box, and clean up the leaves with all this extra energy; I'm afraid my hubby my start expecting me to do this all the time:smile2:
  • wearing a size 18 (just this week) for the first time in 4+ years
  • Wonderful compliments
  • feeling so much better about myself

My NSV: My fat belts now need extra holes put in them as they are too big even on the smallest hole. This leads to another NSV, my 16 and 18 pants are too big in the waist, thus the belt.

Love reading these.

I had an NSV just today. I've had previous MRI's on my knees and they've been unable to fit my leg comfortably in the knee coil....until today!!! I had an MRI today and my leg fit perfectly in the coil! No pinching, or having to stuff the fat down to get the coil to strap on. It was such a little thing, but a HUGE deal to me!!!

My husband and I were in the grocery store the other night and we got separated. He couldn't find me.......he said he didn't recognize me because I look slender now!!:w00t:

Still have a LONG way to go, but this was a huge NSV for me!

That happened to me with my daughter once, she looked down an isle, and didn't see me. Oops, Mom, didn't recognize you.

Funnier still, is looking in the overhead camera when walking into Walmart, and not recognizing yourself, at 1st.:thumbup:

All I've experienced so far is my clothes getting a little baggy. I see my friends and family often so they haven't noticed my weightloss. I did see my fiancee's sister yesterday who said I had obviously lost weight. I hadn't seen her in a while, so she noticed it pretty well. Made me feel happy :-)

I caved and went and bought some clothes today... I just grabbed some pants, didn't bother trying them on, but I grabbed a pair of 20's (which are currently a little big on me) and I grabbed a pair of 18's (for the future). I got home and tried them both on, the 20's, no way, no how, they are really big on me and the 18's a tad big, but would do. So, I'm going to take them both back tomorrow and exchange them for 16's. I honestly have no idea when the last time I squeezed my rear into a pair that size! lol

Oh, and my neighbor yelled across the street to my hubby this afternoon and said that he's going to have to start chaining me up in the house if I keep losing weight. Tacky, yep, but did it make me smile, HELL YES!!!

Wearing my 12W Talbot's jeans I'd worn once or twice 5 years ago, and flying for the first time since surgery-- I couldn't buckle the seat belt before (shhh.....). Now, not only did it buckle, but I had SIX INCHES of seat belt to spare!!:)

My plantar fasciitis doesn't seem to be bothering me anymore-- yay to no foot pain!

You just gave me sooo much hope. I have this along with a nasty bone spur it cause and it has been really hurting lately. I don't want to get anymore shots for it. I was banded 3 weeks sgo so maybe it will get better! YEA!!!!:)

I noticed that I could put my purse next to me in the chair when I was waiting to get my 6 month follow up blood work done. Then tonight I really noticed the gap between my stomach and the steering wheel.:blushing::thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
