NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Have any NSV's to post? Non-scale victories... Even though the scale may not be moving down just yet, weight loss results in other forms.

I put on a pair of 18 jeans that I could not pull up and close in about a year...and they fit!!!!! And they went up with ease!!!! My work pants are also sooooo baggy! YAY!!

Let's hear it May Flowers and Shrinko De'Mayos!! :P

My weightloss has slowed...but hasn't stopped! However, I do have a couple of NSV's that I would like to share,

1. My capri pants are no longer capri's. NO...I didn't shrink...but I think that I lost in my hips and butt and they are hanging lower. I love it. Now I might not have to hem my pants.

2. My favorite necklace is longer...that freaked me out a bit.

3. I'm sweating less. I know that's gross but I sweat like a pig and I hate it. I went walking yesterday and I didn't sweat so disgustingly that I had to come home and take a shower. Psyched!

4. My rings fit better. Now if I could fit into all of my cutie patootie rings that I have stashed my jewelry box.

My rings fit better and my fingers don't get swollen anymore...people who haven't seen me in several weeks comment that my face looks slimmer...I have more energy and feel good about the healthy things I eat....I miss junk food...but haven't given in to anything except a few honey roasted peanuts, lol!

I haven't noticed anything different, my clothes pretty much fit the same, although I've been wearing sweats since surgery pretty much. My mom says she thinks my face looks slimmer, I think I'm still pretty swollen from surgery though, its so exciting to see all of your success!!!! Congrats! I can't wait to post something here!!!

I thought 13 lbs would be a big difference but no one has noticed I have lost weight!!!!!!!:thumbup:

But on a good note some of my old capri's I can fit into again. I was down to wearing sweats everyday because I didn't want to buy bigger clothes so that is a victory!!!!!

I put on my work pants the other day and looked in the mirror and said to myself "i look like crap! why?" and i realized it was because my pants were too big! I could pull out the hip part like 5" and my pants were super baggy and hanging in the croch. So i pulled out a smaller pair of work pants that i havn't been able to wear for a while and they didn't just fit, they were even a little big! I put them on and looked in the mirror and I felt that I acutally looked cute!!

My other NSV is that i've been trying on some old dresses cus I'm going to vegas in a few weeks, and I found 5 that fit now and look hot! woo hoo!

Aww congrats!!!! I haven't noticed any clothes fitting different! :( I feel like I should!!! Eh maybe I'm just not paying close enough attention. I'm gonna have to start taking pics of myself to compare because I can't see any difference at all :(

My pants are getting way to big. I am constantly pulling them and my friends at work announce on a daily basis what color my underwear are because my pants keep slipping down (doesn't help I didn't have a butt to start with). My rings are getting to big and everyone has mentioned my face looks thinner. To be honest I can't see it when I look in the mirror but the clothes tell the story.

Have a great day!!!

My hubby took a double take and commented that my pants were getting looser. Also several have mentioned my face is looking thinner. I will get my first fill on June 23 and can't wait tio have restriction. I felt my first PB last night. My Dr said I could start back on solid food and had a hamburger, 1/2 ear corn, Beans. Way too much for my tummy. My brain just hasn't kicked in.

I learned my lesson.

Yesterday me and a bunch of my friends were all hanging around my best friend angelas big inground pool. Since I still can't go swimming, I just wore a black cotton tube top and some black bathing suit bottems. A bunch of friends who I haven't seen in months, who don't know about the surgery, even that I was on a diet or anything, all said that I looked like I had lost weight. One of my friends who I haven't seen since last fall (this is the first time I've seen a lot of these people since they left for collge) even did a double take because she wasn't sure who I was for a second! Haha I don't see THAT much of a difference, but I do definately notice it right around my rib cage where your bra sits, the weight loss there is making my boobs look huge!!!!!!!! hahaha

      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.
