Thanks to some genetics and my weight, I have rather bad knees and back problems. The result was I would get really tired just going up one flight of stairs - and would try to avoid them whenever possible. I couldn't walk more than 5 minutes without getting winded. I couldn't even stand in place for 5 minutes without breaking out in a sweat. Then I had VSG. Today - just 2.5 weeks after surgery, I was moving some stuff into my new apartment. I totally forgot about the stairs. There are 4 steps up to the front entrance, then 8 more down to my floor. I did all 12 steps at least 8 times today (both ways - so 16 times total I suppose)! I also unpacked my trunk twice taking stuff into the apartment and putting it away immediately. For me, this is a MAJOR NSV! Boy am I tired now though. Oh, and because I forgot to pack my lunch, I stopped at Big Boy for lunch (plus I wanted to sit in air conditioning for a bit - my apartment has air, but no furniture yet). I ordered the Grilled chicken dinner that came with 2 sides (I chose cottage cheese and baby carrots). My eyes are still bigger than my stomach. I barely made it through the cottage cheese (which was about 1/2 cup). So, I asked for a box when the waitress brought my meal and immediately packaged up the chicken and the carrots that turned out to be glazed carrots. I left the roll on the plate. My "doggie bag" will be at least 3 meals for me - I just have to puree it first. So although I'm really tired, I am proud of myself today. Now to rest up a bit (my back is really bothering me right now, so I'm resting) and then re-pack the car with more stuff for moving tomorrow. At least tomorrow my furniture will arrive at some point in the afternoon, so I'll have a chair to sit on!

Woo hoo ! Way to go ! Keep up the good work ! Since you asked for "1st NSVs " , if I remember correctly, I had also lost my first 19 lbs, and an aquaintance who hadnt seen me in a few months asked me "Have you lost weight ? You look thinner in the face ! ". WOW. That made my day ! That , and cleaning out my closet with bags and bags of too big clothes !! Now, THAT was fun !!

48 hours afterwards. Was it a mistake?
Micoxv replied to GinaCampbell's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Ladies...Our sleeved bodies are going through a major surgery and need to heal. It does not happen overnight (unfortunately). I know that it painful and that it is an emotional roller coaster , but it is worth it. Everyday you will feel a bit better and with the weight going off, you will have more energy. Think also about all the NSV (non scale victories) to come! Check the forum for them. Take it easy, ensure Protein and Water intakes, rest. We all went through this. Take care.

!3 weeks after being banded and I saw my primary care Dr and she had be do some blood work. I just checked the results and all my numbers are in the normal range. My glucose is down to normal, A1C is down from diabetic to just pre-diabetic a whole point and a half,cholesterol is normal. Having my clothes become loose and had to get a smaller size bra. Even though I'm in a plateau, I'm seeing big results!

A Nsv That's Blowing My Mind!
SuperMom replied to his2my2our4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When I hit 40 lb loss ....I thought about same thing. My 4 year old is HEAVY when you try to hold her and it is amazing that I have lost TWO of her now! LOLOL....how in the world were we carrying around that weight? My 20 year old son weighs 120 and he is much taller than me and no way could I lift him. When I get to goal weight I will be at 100 lb loss (I am hoping to get down to 135 and I am at 145 now) How in the world was I carrying around that weight????No wonder I was tired all the time!!!! Congrats!!!!!! on your NSV!!! HUGE NSV!!!! -
A Nsv That's Blowing My Mind!
LoserMama replied to his2my2our4's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is an awesome NSV, congratulations! I've been contemplating that myself, while I'm in a stall, i'm trying to buoy myself up with realizing the volume that 57 lbs actually represents, instead of getting stuck on why its not moving faster. -
Great NSV...congrats!

Another NSV- Damn life is good!

My "Yay! I can now cross my legs!" doesn't seem nearly as exciting as YOUR NSV. Congrats! -
Finally Made It To Onderland
Poodlelover56 replied to shakey88's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congratulations and thanks for sharing your menu. I am 10 pounds from Onederland and I can't wait to do the happy dance too! I am down 27 pounds since 9/28 when I started the pre op liquid. Banded 10/12. Weight is coming off slow and steady. I had a funny NSV yesterday. I was having a pedicure and as my peducurist( is that a word) was massaging my lower legs, she commented that my legs were smaller! Yahoo. -

Hi - I don't get on the boards much but wanted to share a NSV I had this week. I'm 9 months out from VSG surgery & noticed how much I loved my school yearbook picture this year (I'm a teacher). What a difference! Love my sleeve!

I have always shopped at Lane Bryant or the Avenue for the past 20 years, today I went in and the smallest size fit me comfortably. I was sad though(weird because I always wanted to get out of that store) I talked to the sales girl who suggested I try NY and Co because their sizes go to an 18. I went there and bought a sexy top in a Large and pants in a large as well (ok they have a bit of strech in them but I didn't need the XL they carry) yay! This was the first time I have have shopped in a "normal size" store

My 1St Milestone Surprise.
Ms skinniness replied to Tif 2.0's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's progress in the making! I love NSV's! I can't wait to hear more about wonderful things that are happening. Keep Rockin that Sleeve! -
Woohoo! Congrats girl. That's awesome. I'm so ready to not fit my clothes anymore. My NSV this week was having sex with my husband. He hadn't touched me in months and he hasn't initiated sex in almost 2 years. So him being turned on by me made me literally cry. I know it sounds pathetic but I was happy to be wanted again. :-)

there's a dance in this old dame yet
Kat817 replied to Weedwoman's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The panic, and last minute nerves are very common!!! I am not on any detailed diet, I eat what I want, when I want---some times not always the quantities I think I want, but then again, that is what got me to where I was!!! The head hunger is more of an issue than the real true hunger. Once I got some restriction, I no longer have real hunger. There IS hope!!! Without a doubt in the world!! I love my band! The thing with these support forums is that when people get their band, and all is going well, and they have full time jobs, or are not a computer addict (like me)---they simply do not post daily. There are more posts with bandsters looking for help with an issue, because they come back looking for help! If all of us not having problems posted new threads every day, there would be page after page of threads like "Another problem free day" "Another 2 pounds GONE!", on and on. But they don't do that! We do have threads for NSV's (Non scale Victories),and we have the before and after--you should check out, it shows some amazing changes, and gives you an idea how many of us are here without issues or complications. I am well over a year and a half out, I am almost to my original goal weight. I probably could have been there, I just have not chosen to be very tight in my band, and have opted to not diet in an effort to speed it up. Instead I have chosen to live these days like I hope to live the rest of my life. In moderation! I eat almost everything. Almost....I refuse to try to eat another glazed donut, it made me sick!!! I ate 2 bites, it felt like I ate a dozen donuts--yueeech!!! Anytime you need encouragement, or assurance it is well worth it--let me know!! PM me, email me--whatever! Hang out, tell us about yourself, and hang on it is an awesome ride, going Down the scale for a change!! Welcome to LBT!! Kat -
Holy Cow ! Ok, so I havent bought any new clothes in years, and I mean that literally .... I just dont like to shop for clothes, unless Its for something i specifically need. So, since surgery, my things are practically falling off of me, so i broke down yesterday, and went to CJ Banks. I was a 28 for the past 15+ years, so I figured i must NOW be down to a 24, or maybe even a 22 .... nope - an 18 !!!!!!!!! Holy crap!! I was just stunned! I actually cried in the dressing room, and called 5 people I knew who would appreciate it ! LOL Wow, this is all SOOOOOO worth it :-) I just had to share ....
