What NSV are you mist looking forward to?



Recommended Posts

NSV = non scale victory

For me it's being able to wear heels and more stylish clothes. I always felt it was hard to be feminine and morbidly obese. Carrying so much weight coupled with not a lot of clothing options just made me go for comfort. I'm hoping this changes this year.

I wanted to fit comfortably in an airline seat - I now can with room to spare. Like you, I wanted to wear high heels - on Christmas Day, I wore 5" sparkly heels! And I wanted to go dancing and shake my thang without being stared at - and I have now done that on a few occasions and LOVED it!

I am sure you will have many NSVs this year - enjoy every one!

here isn't one I'm particularly looking forward to. However, one happened over the weekend. I was shopping with my 23 year old daughter (who is a size 1 and I think maybe someone switched her with my real baby at birth or something) and I kept looking at size 3X tops and would try them on and she kept saying, "Mom you are drowning in those." She finally went and picked out some cute 2X tops and they fit beautifully. I guess I thought I was a 3X because I wasn't really fitting into the 3x's at Kohls before surgery so I thought they would fit now. Well, I was pleasantly surprised.

I haven't yet gotten my surgery or surgery date, but I am now 24 and just graduated this past year because of medical problems. I didn't buy a graduation ring because i was embarrassed to get such a high size to fit my finger. So hopefully when i do get this done i will be able to ware a ring proudly. This is just one of many thing i am wanting to get out of this surgery..

The first NSV I am looking forward to is for my belly to not touch my legs.

#1. Not having to wear shorts under my skirts! My thighs rub together something fierce so even on the hottest summer days i have on some kind of spandex shorts underneathe. it's so annoying b/c if the dress is close fitting you can totally see the shorts. Plus it's so hot and uncomfortable. I need some air up there (lol)

      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.
