More NSV's ( non scale victories)



Recommended Posts

Having gone from 245 to 145 in less than a year I am so happy and thankful! However the scale doesn't reflect everything right my friends....So I love this topic because it gets us thinking about the awesome perks of losing weight beyond the scale! Here's my update :

1. My wedding ring is falling off - need a re- size

2. My pants never seem "tight enough" how many of us felt like our pants were previously cutting off our circulation ? Lol

3. I get complimented on my clothing by strangers .... Never happened before as I was always wearing frumpy clothes to cover up

4. Strangers in stores ask me " are you always this happy" .... Even though they don't know why- you guys get it .... " yes!!! Yes I am"

5. Finally - only regret .... Why the heck didn't I do this sooner !

Man, yeah, lookin good...!!

So lemme jump on this little bandwagon:

1)No longer taking meds or treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

endless pain meds, and sleep apnea.... utterly life changing!

2) I can buy clothes off the damn rack now, yay!

3) It no longer sounds like someone is getting strangled in the next room when I tie my shoes....

4) It's easy to get up early now

5) I can cross my legs comfortably when sitting

6) I can tuck in even a t-shirt without embarrassment

7) Might swim this summer in front of other people for the first time in decades

8) Might even dance at some point

HELL, KEEP THIS UP I MIGHT EVEN ATTRACT A GIRLFRIEND.....!!!!

One more thing ... Forgetting the size sticker on my new clothing isn't an embarrassment anymore it's all good ! 6 rather than 20 is a badge of honor rather than a shame sign ????

      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. 🤞
