How about some NSVs!?!?

Sharing clothes with my 15yo daughter. I am now only 5 lbs heavier than her as opposed to 100 lbs heavier than her. Twice the wardrobe selections.

Being on week 7 of a couch to 5k program and realizing just 9 weeks ago (missed two weeks) it was a challenge to do 1 minute walks with 15 second running intervals. Now, ran one 10 minute and three 5 minute intervals without stopping. WOW!

And, having your surgeon put your testimonial up on his website with pictures and all! :)

Sister, I'm a 46 H.. I feel your pain! Can't wait for some reduction. Lol

I'm a 42L and I don't know what I'll go to. Sometimes it worries me. I've always had large breast. So I'm thinking I might go back to my 7th grade size 38DDD

Being able to talk to strangers. This is such a big deal. I hadn't noticed the change but my son pointed it out at a football game. Then today I was able to talk, to sit and hold a conversation with a a group of strangers and never felt out of place.

This has been the best NSV for me, up until now he's never sat with me, I am now his buddy.

@@layknee and @shellbell79 -- be careful what you wish for. I've always been smaller on top but I've gone from a 40C to a 36B -- beginning to wonder if they make training bras in a 36 band! lol

@@Wallflower7522 Woot Woot! I did my first (since college > 25 years ago) and walked the middle and did it in 46 minutes. A week ago today, I did my second and actually ran the entire thing -- 42 minutes. Are you like me, did you ever DREAM you'd be running???

Great Job!

Freg, it's true! I should be careful but I'm equally excited to see what shoes I've been wearing all these years! Lol

I can cross my legs again and wear my high heel shoes and stay in them all day, I can wear a swimsuit and walk into any room and feel confident. I am still getting use to comments and the flirts as well as walking past a mirror without holding my head down. I now feel comfortable in my clothes.

My body feels foreign to me, those are not my thin shoulders, my ankles are svelt, my fingers are delicate looking, not the swollen sausages from before. But that is all AWESOME!!!! I have to keep just feeling my shoulders, even my chest, I can see collar bones and it is all so strange, but makes me smile.

I have lost 72 pounds in my journey and still have another 34 to go for my goal. :)

      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. 🤞
