OK I'll ask!!! What does NSV stand for? :faint: :help:

It took me a long time to figure out what PB meant, I was embarrassed to ask. I'm still trying to figure out some of the lingo here.

non scale victory, wheezy.:)

Thanks Neenagh,

My first NSV was that I came off of one of my hypertensive medications and that was only 20 lbs!!! I'm hoping that I will be able to come off of the other.

My second was that I was able to fit in a pair of jeans that I couldn't before the surgery

I'm no longer on one of my hypertension meds....I don't expect to come off the other one though....even if (I mean when!) I get to goal....I've had hypertension since my early 20s (when I was thin).

So, going off one of 'em I find to be a major NSV.

Also, I bought a size 18 pants the other night and they fit!!! YEEEEHA. I fell in love with another pair of jeans and bought them at size 16....course I can't do 'em up...but I will soon enough...and then they will last me longer!

That's great Yoda, off one of your meds.:clap2: :clap2: That's exactly why we are doing all of this sh....t. To become healthier and if while we are becoming healthier, we happen to fit into smaller pants, well, that's icing on the cake :happybday:

P.S. I know it's not your birthday but there's a cake..lol

The two people who see the most of me both say that I look thinner, especially in the face. (What I want most is to see that damn gut disappear....) I am healing really fast from the surgery and am feeling very positive, a miracle considering that I am a genius at being depressed!

hey green, chin up!! I have shrunk everywhere, but my tummy seems just as huge. As I loose the weight it just keeps getting jigglier and lower. Its horrible!! I keep hoping the next couple pounds will be in the stomach. Not complaining, 'its a good gross'. LOL .

Yah! What is it about the gut, anyway? Mine is as ugly as it ever was. Well, maybe a tiny bit smaller....

So yesterday I brought up all the rubbermaid totes with all the winter stuff in them. I pulled out my winter coat that I bought at Penningtons 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. It also made me think that just the past February I was in a totally different place, probably a depressed place, but little did I realize what was just around the corner.:bounce: :bounce: My consultation with Dr. Cobourn was in March!!

      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.
