NSV (Non Scale Victories)



Recommended Posts

Congrats on all these wonderful NSVs!!!! Mine is pretty typical, but I was thrilled nonetheless...

I had purchased a skirt online over 2 years ago. Sadly, when I got it, it was waaaayyyy too tight, couldn't even barely get it over my hips. Well, this weekend I was cleaning out my closet, throwing away clothes that were now outdated or too big :lol:. Anyway, found the skirt, tried it on for kicks - I just knew it would still be too tight because I have been steadily gaining since I bought it - but it fit!! And it was a comfortable fit too!!! Love my band!!!

Im so excited! I was looking through my closet a few minutes ago and came across and outfit WAAAAAAAAAAAY in the back. I was really surprised that I still had it. Let's just say the first and last time I wore it was about 5 years ago. It's a dressy outfit that I bought for my Grandmother's 90th B-Day Party.... Guess what, IT FITS!!!! I was shocked. Everyone says that they can see that I have lost weight, but I don't see it. This evening I saw it!!!

All of you my "Bandster" family are the first to know!! Now to make some phone calls.

Thanks for listening, or I should say reading!!!

Whos, those are great, congrats!!

I’ve got a great NSV to share…<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

This morning I was in such a crabby mood. However a few weeks ago I placed an <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:place w:st="on">AVON</st1:place> order for the cutest shoes Id seen in a long time. Well, when I came into work, my friend had them there waiting for me.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I ordered all size 9M. Now during this time I was kinda sweating it because I used to only be able to wear size 10WW. Yeah, fat feet there… anyway – I knew I was able to wear some 9M’s lately, because I’m a shoe fanatic and I love to go shoe shopping.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I was so worried my shoes would not fit! I guess that is the fat girl in me telling me I'm still too big for this or that. Well guess what, every single pair DID FIT!! Especially the cute red heels that I just cant wait now to buy a whole new outfit for so I’ll be able to wear them!<o:p></o:p>

Bumping up this thread because I love it! Here's my most recent NSV! A year and half ago I could barely walk a mile on 3mph. Now I run comfortably at 6mph and last week I ran my fastest mile!

Yesterday I pick up a 44 pound bag of dog food tomove it across the house. First of all, I am ABLE to pick it up easily and while I am marveling at that I realize that I have lost more weight than two of these bags combined! 44 pound bags of dog food are not light. I cant imagine strapping two of those to my body and trying to make it though the day. No wonder I was so tired all the time.

      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.
