What Nsv's (Non-Scale Victories) Are You Looking Forward To?



Recommended Posts

I have so many, but one of the main ones (that I experienced today) is not getting a painful rash on my inner thighs from them rubbing against each other when I walk. Especially in the heat, when I am wearing a skirt with no stockings! Ugh!!

What are you looking forward to?

My job requires a dress code of tan pants, navyblue pullover shirt, and a belt so the shirt is tucked in. I am the store manger so the dress code is a must. I cannot wait to tuck in my shirt without all my fat showing! That is one reason I got the lap band. Doing good. I was banded June 4th this year. I also agree about the rashes.

Fitting into regular sized Wrangler jeans was a non-scale victory for me- I hated those elastic waist blue denim fakes from the Plus section. The day I wiggled into a pair of size 15 Wranglers I was a happy woman. Now my 11s are loose and I am thinking about (GASP!) springing the dough for a (GASP LOUDER) size 9.

Other biggies:

my sleep apnea disappeared and I gave up the nightly oxygen.

I can slide through the pass gap in the fence instead of having to open the gate.

The inside of my upper thighs don't chafe anymore- they don't even touch!

I can sit and pull my knees up to my chest without gasping for breath.

My wedding ring fits again (actually it is too loose, but close enough!)

And the biggest and most recent: my husband took a picture of me and a friend who is a professional dancer and I did not look like a whale next to her! I thought I was half again her size even now, but I'm not. I look normal!

  • I look forward to not having to order my bras online because stores don't sell my size.
  • I look forward to embarrassing my son by what I say, not by how I look.
  • I look forward to sit comfortably in theater/airplane/stadium seats.
  • I look forward to no having my feet & back ache from carrying 100 lbs of extra weight.

Due to circumstances, I walked through town this morning wearing my cycling lycra and I didn't feel self conscious at all!

Oh, and then I rode 64km (40miles) :P

Oh I so can't wait until my thighs don't bleed from the rubbing. You should be so proud.

Love that one! For me it was the day I realized that the plus sizes where too big and I shopped in the misses department. First time since high school (46 yrs old).

I agree with all y'all!! My biggest determination.......and my hold my breath moment.....will be looking sexy as hell in my cowgirl boots!!! Not being so insecure about getting on the dance floor and people starring at me because I'm knocking them out with my American thighs....not because I'm the biggest girl out there!!! That will be my moment!!! July 10th can't be here soon enough!!!

      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.
