Gratitude - what are you thankful for?
CrazyJaney posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
10 months post op and -115 pounds (30 more to go). I'm constantly having NSV's and feel grateful everyday. More than anything, I am grateful for better mobility and overall health. Watching others struggle with basic functions has really opened my eyes as to where I was going had I not lost weight. This week has been so stressful at work. I'm a nurse and we have been unbelievably busy for about 2 months. The patients being admitted are so sick. I can't tell you how many times I've stood at a bedside this week and felt immensely grateful that I have been able to lose 115 pounds. Several of my patients have weighed 250-300 and are severely limited in their mobility. I know if I had kept on, that would have been me in 10-20 years. I felt so sad for two different women today: one a patient who weighs 300+ and can't do anything for herself, and a 250 pound visitor (elderly woman) who couldn't make it back to her car because it was too much walking. She was so stooped over with arthritis and her knees could barely hold her. I am so grateful and motivated to keep this up. I never want to be that immobile of that dependent. I. Am. Grateful. -
77 lbs! Feels amazing, doesn't it. Congrats on your NSV! Daisy, do you like the dance classes? I've been wanting to try it.

@@dhrguru, knock off the false modesty. There are three things at play here: (1) We're meant to have an unobstructed view of all that is below our breasts. (2) We're meant to see the heads of the playmates. It's part of the turn-on. (3a) To err is human; not to behave in a risqué fashion is an unfortunate error, -or, alternately- (3b) If you think it's risqué, you're living too sheltered a life. Cut loose. Yeah, okay, I know you meant the talking about it, not the doing, but I wasn't going to pass up an opportunity. Important NSV. absolument! Laurie -

I'm not going to deny that we enjoyed this nsv. In fact as crazy as it sounds it seemed to both of us to have more girth. Either way Mrs. Fat Man was quite happy as was I -

Trying on smaller sizes
Kat410 replied to SIPS in Seattle's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Shopping in my closet was one of the great NSVs of the first six months! I was wearing a 24w when I had surgery and had some old items in my closet down to a 20. It was empowering to size down when what I was wearing no longer fit me. Now the days of shopping in my closet are over and I have an interim wardrobe. -

Two weeks from surgery
PrettyThick1 replied to MOJO3141's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
NSV = Non-scale Victory: When your body changes, even though your weight stays the same. Your clothing fits looser, you've lost inches, you sleep better, get off of any meds you required before you started the process. Sugery lasts only about 45 minutes, feeling almost normal starts to happen around day 3 or 4. Bloating and your incisions are healed around week 3. Day 1 will be the worst, be prepared by having one point of contact for people who want to check on you. You won't feel much like talking or being bothered by anybody or anything, so be prepared before you go for your procedure. Good luck! -
Yes! Just Figured Out The Protein! :)
Smontgomery posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So, protein shakes aren't working for me too well. They are just too thick. I tried mixing orange whey protein with orange juice but, it was too sweet. So today, I tried something new. I love the iced mocha latte from Dunkin Donuts. I just ordered a medium iced latte, decaf, skim milk, no whipped cream and added a scoop of dutch chocolate IsoPure protein to it. I get in 25 grams of protein and get to sip one of my favorite drinks. This is offically my first NSV! -
"funnier sex". I am getting a vision - big long shoes - red ball noses.... Hey - it's funny to me. Thanks for the chuckle, Julie. After a mere 40 pounds - Knee Pain is all but gone and general well being is much improved. Seatbelt extenders only required depending on the type of plane. I can find more than 1 item of clothing that fits on any given shopping excursion and I can fit into all my clothes again. People are noticing me more and noticing my weight loss Future NSV Goals: no more seatbelt extender on any plane frilly girl matching undies size 12-14 get hit on in a bar. (yeah - I know - I am happily married - but it's a vanity thing. I would turn him down, very sweetly.) Not having to worry about killing the hydraulics in my office chair. Not being the fattest person in any room. I know there are thousands more - but these are what come to mind right now.

How pretty! My husband wants a fish pond in our back yard but I'm the one who'll end up taking care of it. Or feeling guilty about NOT taking care of it. I'm a realist, I barely take care of the yard as it is - no frills. Congratulations on your fabulous NSV!

You are lethalwoman!!!! Congrats on a hard earned and much deserved NSV!

April 2006 Bandits' February Challenge
DeltaDawn replied to JulieNYC's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi everyone! Bluehill I am so glad you are out of the hospital! I hope all goes well. Kat how is your granddaughter? Julie- it sounds like St. Barts was great. I think you are brave for considering the PS. I am not sure I will ever go there... I do not like surgery and am a bad patient!! Sarah, welcome to our group. Yep... just start the exercise slowly. I did in house weights for a month, then I progressed to aerobics, and then to walking/ running. When I began running it was run 1 minute, walk 3 minutes... from there I moved on. So... I have been in montreal for most of last week. I am working with a new consultant (on creating ministry of education exit exam), who I only just met and she is a runner!!! Yipee we had lots to talk about (including my $400 trip to the runnin room- ouch!!) So I finally bit the bullet and registered for my first 5 k. It is March 25th in Montreal. I am hoping I can get my time down to 40 minutes (it seems to be hovering about 43 right now...) But I can run it all without a break and feel good doing it. As well, I was happy because the scale is still moving. Check it out!! Oh... huge NSV... I went shopping and bought a new sweater and pants at THE GAP... no more plus size stores!!!! As well I bought a new bathing suit at Bikini Village... how wierd is all of that!! I hope you guys have a good week. I am staying home today with my kids (I was away for work all weekend). So I am just going to enjoy them today!! Thanks, Dawn Banded April 4, 2006 Montreal 358/ 196/179 (I bet I will want it to be lower) Exercise sessions this month=18 sessions (I hope to get it to 20) -
I had one this weekend, for years I have always wanted to be able to shop at stores like Gap, OLD NAVY,etc. This weekend I was able to buy a skirt at the GAP that I can fit into now. I opened the door of the dressing room to show my husband and I stood there crying a like a baby. I got the funniest looks by people walking by. I wanted to tell everyone in that store why I was crying. These little NSV's are great. My husband bless his heart he just hugs me and tells me to keep going and there will be more of the NSV's. I love him so much without him I don't think I could have gone this far.

And have you actually had this particular NSV yet, Leatha? I am so jealous!
