AutumnPunkin 313 Posted May 6, 2013 We love to see before and afters, but i am bow wanting to hear about NSV's. we get so focused on the scales we lose sight of other victories. So tell me, what was you best NSV? I'll go first. I am pre-op but have 2 NSV's with my diet now 1. I can put my socks on without grunting 2. My engagement ring fits again! Your turn.... ???? 5 coloradogrl, OneWritersSoul, FeeIsMe2 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lilbearzmom 584 Posted May 6, 2013 Last Friday as we were riding in the car (I was in the front passenger seat, he was in the back behind hubby, who was driving), my 8 year old said to me, "Mommy, you're little!" I melted- love him! LOL 2 OneWritersSoul and coloradogrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devichan 79 Posted May 6, 2013 Can you have NSVs before surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaS 316 Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, you can have an NSV before surgery. NSV stands for non scale victory, so it is anything you can Celebrate that doesn't have to do with the numbers on the scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cincykat 34 Posted May 7, 2013 Can you have NSVs before surgery? Today I wore a size 14 pair of pants to work. They fit perfectly. I think they was running a little big but I take it. I wore 18W before surgery. Woohoo Sent from my iPad using VST 5 FeeIsMe2, Ballermom, OneWritersSoul and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted May 7, 2013 I can sit cross cross apple sauce (Indian style) during story time again. When I was heavier it made my hip sit in the joint crooked and now it doesn't. 4 jessica bowling, LindaS, FeeIsMe2 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
