YaY! Congratulations for the NSV and having the surgery -
@@Inner Surfer Girl - "I am still way too buoyant to swim under Water but maybe that is in my future, too!" NSV for me was sinking like a rock in the water, muscle doesn't float so well. Downside is I do have to really kick to stay up Congrats on getting back in the pool. That's great.

It is funny, I thought I was the only who could not see me as the world did until I saw a picture of myself. I go to Seattle is less than 3 weeks, to see my daughter and her family. I am acutally sort of excited to have a picture taken again. I also scored a nice NSV this week too - I can officially wear ALL the clothes in my closet. So, to Celebrate, I am cleaning out my closet this weekend of all the stuff that it too big so I can make room for the new. Have to look good when I go to see the daughter.

Love NSVs!!!!

Congrats Vicki... keep up the good work. It is very frustrating when the scale doesn't move but sometimes we don't realize the NSV's. I was just thinking last night... "OMG, my knee doesn't hurt anymore... AT ALL" I don't even know when it quit bothering me! Way to go!!!

Post Op visit NSV, anyone have a NSV to share?
honk posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay so I am not sure whether the nurse made a mistake or not but my BP today was 110 over 70 (She was doing a manual reading). At my PCP they have a digital version and I am usually 117 over 75. Back in 9/08 I finally broke down and went to the doctor about severe knee pain. Admittedly I was in a lot of pain at the time but my BP was like 160 over something high. -

That's right up there with the aggrivation of your shorts riding up one leg. Never figured out why they only ride up on one side, any way, that was my nsv this summer, no more shorts riding up my legs, walking a foot, then pulling it out, come on ladies you've been there I know, LOL.

I can so relate, it's probably one of the reasons I have never worn dresses..You have given me hope Great NSV!

My hubby, who was not supportive of the surgery, has been a sweetheart. He just got me an ipad 2 as a gift for my first 25lbs. I am loving it all, the attention, the weight loss and the ipad 2 of course!!

Okay, call me stupid, but I've seen "NSV" all over this board, what the heck does it stand for???

Congratulations! There's nothing like it for boosting the self confidence! It is a wonderful NSV. I'm all for accepting appreciation wherever we find it, even if you don't do anything to follow up... Emily

hi, welcome to LBT. the band is a great TOOL, but you do have to work with it. it IS a drastic life change, but think of all the great things that will result in those changes you will have made. look for some threads around here labeled NSV (non scale victory) - crossing legs, fitting in a size 16, fitting in a size TEN, no problems on airplanes, the list is endless. good luck and it truly is worth it.

Congratulations to you! It's great that you set some NSVs as your goals and that you kept track of when you met them. What a great idea! Nancy

Is this a good NSV? LOL
ProudGrammy replied to iggychic's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
iggy congrats - great story, NSV BUT theres no such word as "ONLY" with our weight loss (only 45 lbs down) - you know that 100 whips with a wet noodle, take that -
Congratulations!!! How inspiring! It's been a desire of mine to do a 5k. I started the Couch to 5k plan last year. Between week 2 and 3, I injured my knee and could barely walk. I've been getting injections into the knee and limping a bit since. My knees obviously decided I was too fat to run My doctor told me no more than 1 mile a day because of the knee issues. If I couldn't even walk for excercise anymore I felt like I was just going to get fatter and fatter until I died. That is when I decided that it was finally time to go for the surgery. The thought of surgery was scary, but death is a bit more scary! My surgery is next week and I can't wait to drop some weight so that my knee isn't quite so angry with me when I walk. I've rocked my preop diet so far, so I KNOW that I can do this. I've been busy picking out the 5k's I want to do first. One is in October and the other is in December. The finisher 'bling' is such a turn on!! Thanks for sharing your NSV!

Measuring Success off the scale
920amy replied to legal loser's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I have been putting off joining a gym because you know that big lady off in the corner pouring sweat that is beet red and looks and sounds like she's having a heart attack...? That's me!! Lol. I need to get myself into slightly better shape before I 'publically sweat'. Good for you for kicking your scale to the curb! My biggest NSVs are shopping back through all of my old clothes in my closet and being able to wear things that I haven't in years! -
Gingerbug, A year does make a big difference. I do not see my weight loss on myself except when I look at pictures, then I see it. but looking in a mirror or looking down at myself, I still see the old me. My Laundry NSV is when I fold my underwear... Not Tent-N-Awning anymore. 40ismyyear. congrads.... How wonderful. scale Victories are just as important. I know this band IS the single best thing I have ever done for myself. Self pay.. yep, and I would pay it all over again... Double it even. I AM WORTH IT. Again Congrads.. I need to set my final goal. How did you set yours? Lois

I really like this new look. Anyways I have to share my fabulous news. After being down about the fact that I couldn't see/feel a difference after losing weight, I finally found something. I joined a gym today and it seriously is the best thing I have ever done for myself, besides the band. I did 2 miles on the treadmill, BUT I RAN 1.25 OF THOSE MILES! Now it wasn't all continuous, but I did run .5 straight. Then I did another 1 mile on the eliptical. So here are my HUGE NSV's. 1. I ran .5 miles straight for the FIRST time in my life. 2. I wasn't the fatest girl at the gym:thumbup: 3. I didn't feel like I was dying 10 minutes into my workout. 4. I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK TOMORROW:Dancing_biggrin: Well after an hour at the gym I need to go get some work done.
