NSV Thread for the May Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I am totally off all three of my diabetes medication. That is 6 pills less I have to take. I am also off my high blood pressure medication. I have a bad liver so it really helps to be off as many medications as I can. :wink2: Besides losing weight, my biggest goal as been to get off the medications.

I also was able to go out and buy some new clothes. Everything was so baggy.

4_17_211.gif Patti...What a wonderful NSV. Off some of your meds.

I have had another NSV.. I cried and still am tearing up some...some of you will understand this one others who haven't been as big might not.....but I was trying on old clothes this morning and a lot of the older ones fits me again...great, but a little while ago I decided to use the tape messure on my hips...It actually touched! No more guessing how many inches in between the ends. Is it 5" or 6". I didn't do my messurements when I had the surgery because of how much I had to guess. This is very emotional for me. Even though I see the scale moving and clothes fitting it just wasn't regeristering 100%. Now it is. I can look at pics and actually notice a difference! 36_1_75.gifThis is so awesome to me..

Sorry so long and rambling!

Well I havent gotten as lucky as all of your with the NSV's. The only things I notice is I'm losing everywhere but my midsection and IT SUCKS!!! Bra cups are lose on me I went from a DD to a D size now..it snug around my body but the boobies are shrinking and starting to sag:thumbdown:. My pants are lose on the legs,but when I get to my stomach it's still snug :grouphug: so I havent bought any smaller clothes yet.

congrats to all on their NSV's and their weight loss.

blessed be

K, I am gonna turn up the heat for a sec....:thumbup:

My newest NSV: Last night during the middle of sex w/ DH, he picked me up to switch positions.

Just in case you missed that-HE PICKED ME UP!

Of couse it freaked me out and I screamed put me down because I still suffer from fat girl syndrom. I am trying to let go of my issues but I still see myself as that chick who still carries the 102 lbs I have lost so far.

I am working to get over it and, *ahem*, maybe a few more lbs and I will request to be picked up :thumbup:

I have the same trouble...my stomach is the LAST to lose!! I have started doing targeted stomach exercises like crunches, reverse curls, etc... You can do them right in your home!! I haven't seen any drastic results yet, but I know that it can't hurt!!!

Good luck!!

      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.
