Non scale Victory

Just so the scale doesn't rule/dictate our lives. It's not always about the number on the scale, so we are always trying to find non-scale ways to celebrate! ;)

Thank you! I was trying all words I could thing of, I was just sure it had to be Newly Sleeved something or other!

LilMissDiva,

I loved the story! That is a victory. I can't wait to watch people do those double takes when they realize who I am, the new skinnier me. I've a long way to go but hearing eveyone's experiences makes me what it so much more!

"Ok I'm a loser...what does NSV stand for????"

________________

I was right there with you fatBgone! I had no idea what NSV stood for in this forum.

I knew it probably was not:

-----

Non Scalpel Vasectomy

NullSoft Streaming Video - a popular codec in my geek world

Net Sales Value

The NSV 12.7mm a Soviet made heavy machine gun

or

Non Specific Vaginitis: which I suppose could be crazy (especially since I have no Vagina) but didn't seem to fit the message.

Non scale Victory works for me...

---

Speaking of scales, I have a GREAT scale I bought from Amazon that weighs accurately up to 500 lbs...I will post a link to it in another topic. Only problem is it will tell you (in a really loud voice) how much one weighs...

That's a great story! I love it that your own mom didn't recognize you! Way to go on your continued weight loss!

Diva...I imagine it was because your mom was seeing you in a group of people and had to pick you out of the crowd where normally she sees you in "your" environment (home, etc). Either way....what a great compliment! I'd love that.

I had the reverse happen to me recently when I was walking in the mall and saw this woman coming toward me and I thought to myself, "gosh, she looks so much like my aunt Barbara...only much heavier." You guessed it...it was ME reflected in a friggin mirror!

What a bummer! Oh well....a week from today I start my journey to becoming unrecognizable to my family because I've become so svelte! :P

Loved it..hahaha Good luck to you~

THANK YOU sooo much everybody!! Today I have decided that I am going to accept what is, and be proud of all my accomplishments. I am going to run a 5k in less than a month and I am healthier than I've ever been in my life. I can thank my sleeve yes, it has been a major contributor, but there is no one greater contributer than me myself and I.

Feeling good about myself, and appreciating the rewards of all the hard work.

Blessings!!! I hope everyone had a really great weekend. :)

      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.

      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.
