NSV. Good bye forever. What your NSV?



Recommended Posts

The clothes are a big NSV. But also, no need for seat belt extenders, I have to actually tighten them now. Fitting into rides at the amusement park back in October with my niece!

Parasailing... zip lining... riding horses in the ocean, kayaking in the bioluminescent bay and hiking a rain forest! All things I couldn't have done before surgery! Did em and ready to do more!!! I'm only 5 months out, but so thankful for my surgery... made my life so much better.

I jogged. I haven't jogged in years. I like doing it just for the novelty of being able to.

I love bagging up the fat clothes and getting rid of them FOREVER. It feels great!

My latest NSV is weighing less than my husband. For the first time ever! I feel so much sexier being smaller than him finally. ;)

This happened months ago, but I still get a kick out of it: collar bones. I have them. Hadn't seen them in years. Every morning in front of the mirror, there they are.

Im just getting started dropping weight 15 days out, but my size 26 jeans are huge on me and I can now squeeze into size 20 (even though they are kind of stretchy jeans)

Booked a flight with a bulkhead seat because I won't have a problem fitting behind the tray anymore.

Christina, thanks for the encouragement! I have my VSG in one week and am wearing a size 26! Would love to be a size 20 at 15 days post-op!!

I think my Ah Ha NSV moment came back about a year and a half ago when I could buy cheap $8 pack of underwear from Walmart. I knew then that I was now officially out of the Big & Tall stores only when it came to shopping for clothes. Now I am in suites, something that I think I wore maybe three times in almost 20 years, I've worn at least five times this year alone and we're aren't even in month number five yet out of the year. I have two custom tailored suites now, I hope by the end of the year I'll have at least five more to give me a suite for every day of the week.

My next few NSV, which I am sure I can do now:

  1. Is to buy a complete from head to toe outfit from American Eagle or Abercrombie and Fitch.
  2. Outdoor Bike Trail Riding for 10 to 15 miles
  3. Do a photo-shoot. (Both clothing and nude photo-shoots. I have a bunch of photographer friends that will gladly do glamor shots of me)
  4. Actually attempt to do a 5K run. (Maybe in the fall)

Waiting for plane to take off.

Seat isn't as small as I remember it. I don't know what everyone is bitching about. Got plenty of room.

      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.
