How about some NSVs!?!?



Recommended Posts

Here is a big NSV for me, my little garden. I'm going to eat healthy and grow some of what I eat. I don't think I would have ever had the energy or motivation to do this last year. It's small, but I tilled it all by hand so it was a lot of work. I'm not done with it yet, but I've so happy with what I've got done so far.

I just bought a size 18 dress for my daughters first communion, and a pair of size 20 shorts. I was wearing a 26, plus I haven't worn shorts in years. Man this feels so awesome!!!! :D

I picked up two pairs of jeans for $4.99 each at. Ross. My son is 27 years old and had never seen me in pants. I always wore dresses and skirts because I was heavy. I love getting compliments from family and friends but nothing compares to hearing my husband tell me how beautiful I look each day!

I can wear my wedding ring again and I can now cross my legs. My once too tight bra is now in the 3rd hook and the cups are kinda bulky. I am down from a tight 2XL to a large. I hung up my walking cane. I am off high BP meds, cholesterol med and diabetic meds....to name just a few

I have left the size 20's in the dust and am now in the teens!!! I use to wear a 26 pant and now I'm wearing an 18w comfortably and a regular 18, but tight. I can run a full 2 miles without stopping in 26 minutes (my best so far).

And, in church I can kneel without my butt touching the seat. Sometimes its the little things we never think about, but when they change we are so ecstatic!

Surgery was the best decision I have ever made!

I can probably fit my wallet in my bra it's so loose. Time for a round of new ones. Also down from a size 22 pants into size 11 which is getting big also. Time for a size 9. Best feeling ever. Also having a lot of people notice my 84lbs loss. I tell them thank you for noticing. Feels good to have someone acknowledge my success.

I just realized I am finally a normal bmi! This is such a huge milestone for me. I can't remember the last time I was a normal bmi let alone just overweight instead of obese.

Congratulations! That "normal" BMI is what I strive for too!

      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. 🤞
