My small and pathetic NSVs!


dawg

Recommended Posts

Alright this used to be called "My small and pathetic NSVs!" but they told me off and said it wasn't small and pathetic... I did try to revise the thread name but it won't let me :scared:

So I have two NSV's which gave me a bit of a smile today.

Here they are in all their glory....

1. I am wearing my old workout shirt today. This shirt once was "toit loik a toiger" (tight). It is now looking like a comical dress that comes halfway down my thighs.

2. I just got back from the grocery store. Normally after hauling the cases of Water and all the groceries, plus walking around the store, my heart is beating like a snare drum from a thrash metal band. Today after checking my pulse... it wasn't even off of resting (thanks dreadmill).

Okay, thats my teeny little flag waving for the day. Feel free to share yours :P

WOWOWOWOWOW! Those aren't small NSV's at ALL!! Those are HUGE!!!! I remember the first time I noticed that I was walking around a store and wasn't overheated and sweaty. THIS WAS A HUGE HAPPY DAY FOR ME and it should be for you too!

THANK YOU TREADMILL!!!!!!

(and this is a good reminder for me to get BACK on my treadmill!!!)

Whooooop, NSVs!!!!!

That's great. I would love to feel like that after shopping, or doing much of anything. They may seem small, but those two things mean so much. I can't wait to be able to say them.

Well done dawg! I agree, those aren't small, they are GREAT!!!

I bought 2 Size Large sweaters in the regular dept, not the Plus sizes! And I keep getting compliments! They actually fit, rather than swallowing me whole like my old 3X sweaters made to hide beneath. Yay!

There is no such thing as a pathetic NSV. No such critter.

Now kindly repost your NSV with PRIDE because you deserve to be proud of the hard work you have done.

:rockon: That is awesome!

No NSV is small!

Okay, okay! No NSV is small. I changed the thread name :P

Thanks for the cheers, they made both my eyes crinkle at the corners :scared:

If people keep up being so nice... I might even be able to get these craggy features into a semblance of a smile... but I'm not promising :(

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
