NSV=non scale victory, I know because someone else told me just this morning!

We've got some great cheer leaders on this board! (dancing banannas)

Lisa and Nancy, great NSVs!!! It's not all about losing on the scale.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Alright, I know there has to be more NSVs out there. Energy galore is another good one for me.

Does giving away your first batch of clothe count as a NSV? It feels so good to look at this TALL stack of cloths and know that they are ALL too big for me! I've gone from a 30/32 to a 26/28 in 3 1/2 months! I'm luvin my band right now.

If y'all know anyone who can where a size 30/32 (lives in Tx preferably because of S&H) I've got some cloths for them! I bought most of these clothes from Catherines a specialty store here in Texas for large women. Thier nice cloths and would like to find a good home for them. I've thought about consigning them since I paid a lot of money for them but would like it better if I knew a woman that could use them for herself.

A year ago this Month I had to have carpol tunnel surgery on my wrists. They did the left one first. I had to go to the fire department to get my wedding ring cut off and it left the deepest groove. Hard to believe there was blood getting to the tip of that ring finger. Well when I started to consider this lapband I didn't bother to get ring sized up. Late week when my brother in law got married I saw the ring in the dresser and i tried it on. IT fits.(NSV) AS soon as I lose anther 20 pounds I will get it repaired . I do miss wearing it.

You can see in my signature below my other NSV. I am so happy that this is working for me and my family.

God bless you all

Fun thread. Today I touched my toes without bending my knees. It burned, but I did it! I have't even seen my toes in over a decade!

When I was preparing for surgery, the doc asked if my hysterectomy was a vertical or horizontal incision. I said I didn't know. I felt really dumb. But I ccouldn't easily see under my belly roll -- it took a good mirror and some contorsions. Well, now I know it was horizontal and runs right in the crease of my belly roll -- 'cause I can lift up my flabby ol' roll and look now. I think that's a NSV?? :D

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
