Nsv That I Still Can't Believe



Recommended Posts

I am 37, six months ago, I was 5'6" and weighed 373 pounds.

My son has ran cross country for the last 2 years. I have been lucky to be able to watch him start, then take the parent shortcut to the finish line in time to see him finish. It has always bothered me that I couldn't help him train in any way.

Today, I am still 5'6", but am now down to 270. This morning, my son and I participated in a 5k. Yes, he had to wait for me at this finish line, but I crossed it at 49:30' still able to sprint the last 40 yards. And I did not puke, pass out, or die.

My 14 year old son, told me that he was proud of me today. I have had many nsv's, but none of them made me feel as good as this one.

Worth it all, everyday and twice on Sunday.

Much love

That is by far the BEST NSV I have ever heard!! (and I have read some really good ones!) That is one that will have you feeling good for days to come! Congratulations on running your first 5K! That alone is huge, but having your teenage son say he is proud of you....PRICELESS!!

That is WONDERFUL!!!! Congratulations!!!

I am doing a 5k October 5th and at my highest weight I was 332lbs. I am 5'10 and am just hit an 80lb loss this morning - 252lbs!! I am 4 months out from my surgery and I think I may hit the 100lb mark at 6 months as well. I am ecstatic and I cannot wait to run across that finish line just like you!!!! I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!! :)

BEST. NSV. EVER. Your post made me tear up. My oldest son does cross country and track too. He is going to start running with me. He took the summer off and today he shared that he's worried that he won't be able to keep up with me!?! Craziness. I ran a 10k today! I was fortunate enough to run a 5k with my youngest son last month. It ranks high in my life's favorite moments. Here's a pic. Loved it! I'm so glad that u shared today.

Wow. U brought tears to my eyes. I have a son, nearly 13. I dream of being able to do just this kind of thing with him. One of my main reasons for the surgery. Thank you for sharing. I hope someday, I will hear those words from him.

      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. 🤞
