My NSV List

[Butterfly07 0]

I am at 10 months post-banding and wanted to share my NSVs with all of you. :clap2:

In no particular order:

1. I have a noticable jawline & cheeckbones, and only 1 chin.

2. I can sit in any seat now and not be squished in by the sides.

3. I now shop in the misses section for my tops (size Large).

4. I weigh less now than I have for the last 18 years.

5. I can cross my legs!

6. I can sit in a booth in a resturant without my belly hitting the table.

7. My collarbones are visible again.

8. Hubby can reach all the way around me when he hugs me.

9. I am just over 1/2 way to my goal weight (mine, not doctors).

10. I can look down when standing and see my toes!

At my first visit to the surgeon my weight was 329. I now am 249.6. My personal goal is 165 or so (doctor says 135).

At 5', 3", that was a lot of weight to carry around. I work out 1 1/2 to 2 hrs 5 days a week at the gym and love it. I hope to be at goal weight at my 2 year bandaversary.

Thanks for sharing with me.

CONGRATS!

Those are wonderful NSV's indeed. The scale can not measure the pleasure of sitting comfortably in any seat, any where.
