How about everyone share their latest NSV (non-scale victory) in one spot. I love reading about all the steps that make up the journey, so please share!

Mine was in church yesterday! I could kneel without pain and my belly didn't rub on the back of the seat in front of me when I knelt! Woo-hoo!

Working toward the day someone thinks I look too thin. A non-NSV loss, just awhile back little kid👦 looked at me and said "Are you fat or are you a 👩woman"? I will drop enough pounds that my girl-hood 🙆shows and I get a figure that just curves in and out. I'll settle for a glass coke bottle figure 👸instead of a salami🍤 one!

Embarrassing moment and an NSV:

Four years ago I had a few cocktails pre surgery with my husband. I slipped and fell back on the toilet and cracked the base. He is replacing the toilet today.........Buh bye evil reminder of my high weight.

My husband was sleeved five weeks ago and I am one week postop. We have had many non-scale victories. Hubby used to be in pain 24/7 but longer has chronic pain, he can walk short and long distances without being completely winded and out of breath, he flew on an airplane recently without the seat extender, can stand through the entire worship portion of a church service, can use the “small” bathroom in our house again and the list goes on. One major non scale victory is that we now take walks as a couple. We are also looking at purchasing an RV to travel the country before our kids move on to college in a handful of years. The goal is an active lifestyle together. Never would have even imagined we would have the opportunity.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
