A new NSV for me!



Recommended Posts

I have no clothes that fit me anymore! Everything is getting too big, except one pair of size 22 jeans that I just got into. Stupid things, I was wearing 20s in other jeans and couldnt get them on! Anyway! I went shopping for some pants to wear to the gym. I picked out 2 pair exactly alike, one size 18 the other size 14/16. They were cotton, elastic waist with a draw string. I tried on the 18s first and they fit but they were a bit snug. They were 100% cotton and I figured they would draw up, so that wasn't going to work. When I picked up the 14/16s I saw the tag, and it said 18. I had on the 14/16s!!! LOL! I was stunned! How in the world can someone who weighs 246 pounds get a size 14/16 on?! Someone please tell me! *laughs*

So my NSV is, I not only bought the 18s but I also bought a pair of 18 Lee's jeans. I walked into the dressing room with three pair of pants and bought two! Do any of you realize how shocking that is?? *laughs* I do! And that's my NSV for today. Thanks for letting me share! :confused:

Congratulations....you must be thrilled!! :clap2: I can barely remember the size 18 days and the size 14 days were in the ancient times for me. I can picture you with a big smile when you walked out of the dressing room. :biggrin1:

Definitely! And you can be sure that when the dressing room attendant took the pair of 14/16s from me, I made sure she knew I could get them on but I chose to buy the 18s. *laughs*

Go P'Nut!!! Aren't NSV's fun!! I keep finding new ones every day. I agree with Lisa. You might as well just buy the 14/16 because you'll be there in no time!!! How tall are you? You look pretty tall in your Before/After pictures.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
