A Canadian "NSV" Thread



Recommended Posts

I have a few pairs of size 12 jeans in my closet for inspiration. Last night I was going to a BBQ and didn't have anything to wear, so I thought I would try them on...just to see how much more till they will fit...and the ALL fit!!!! I was so excited! I havent worn a size 12 in atleast 15 years! Now I need to go shopping and get some new shirts! lol.

This thread has been quiet for a while now. We need to Celebrate more! Keep it up everyone, we are on the right path.

That is AWESOME bandiva!! What a wonderful and well deserved surprise!! I am happy for you and can't wait till I can do that too -=winks=-

Here is my NSV

This morning I starting jogging!! I was worried that I could not keep up with the girl I went with, she has been running for awhile and offered to get me started. -=huge smile=- I kept up!! It was about a 5k and we walked and jogged it. I felt great when I got home and can't wait to go again. I is nice to have company too.

And you are right this is a great thread and it needs to be kept going, not victories are on the scale!!

... my winter coat ...bought ... last February. It was a beautiful coat, it was the kind I always wanted. Full length to the ankles, black, fur collar, comfy and warm. I wore it once last year for about 15 minutes. I put it on and well.......it hung on me like a garbage bag. I could have put someone else in it with me. I was actually sad because I loved this coat, however it is a NSV.

Well Cloe, I'm just at the beginning of my journey ... what size is your coat, maybe I can give it a new home :clap2: if you live in the GTA that is:nervous

Hi everyone,

It's great to see so many successes. I've become a clothes junkie. I love shopping for clothes and shoes. I guess one obsession for another but this one I can live with. Sharing successes and set backs makes us stronger. Thanks for keeping this thread going. Even at goal we need encouragement - this lifestyle is a life long committment.

That's terrific. Happy to see that. Good luck with the food choices. I found being at work much easier than on vacation for sticking to the good foods. Have a great long weekend and see you thinner next week.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
