Before, I never gave much thought to the NSV's that everyone talks about. But before, I was enjoying consistent genuine scale victories, so I wasn't in tuned with the importance of a NSV! Well, I have kinda hit a wall at losing the pounds,but my recent NSV has giving me positive reinforcement to my whole Lapband experience!

My job requires a yearly check up that includes: eyesight, hearing and blood pressure. Last year my blood presure was 164/94. The nurse made me lay down to see if my BP would drop a little before she would allow me to get back to work. It only dropped very little, but I had to agree to get it checked by my PCP. Well today I had my annual physical and my BP was 122/ 76. How cool is that! The weight loss and the exercising that I am doing are really paying dividends!

One side note..............during the hearing test, we are placed into a soundproof hearing chamber. During the test, I could hear my stomach making some really weird gurgly noises! Noises that up until now, I wasn't aware that were happening! I mean some funny sounding noises! Anyone else ever heard their tummy "sing" like this? I was cracking myself up just listening!

WTG Ray !!!!

I gurgle alot...never thought of it as singing, but it does! No record contract for my belly...it's waaayyy off key!!

WTG, Ray!!!

We should all get together and play name that tune

Well done, Ray!!! You're fit as a fiddle

My stomach gurgles/sings constantly. More so when I'm too tight as well. It can be soooooo embarassing in a quiet office lol.

Go Ray, Go!!

Congratulations, Ray! And, yes, my tummy makes all kinds of noises! Cindy

Way To Go Ray!!!!! NSV are so nice arent they! My tummy makes all kinds of noises.. I just tell it "Shhhhhhh already" hehe

Oh I'm ALL ABOUT the gurgly tummy. Especially when I've just recently eaten. Glug, glug. I just sort of put a hand on my tum near where my band would be to try to muffle the sounds. lol.

Good on ya for the NSV too!!

WTG!!! I'm proud of you!

Those are all great NSV's, I am so happy for you.

I am always telling my band that it's ok and it doesn't need to cry, I am aware it is there, I am the opposite of everyone else, I gurggle when I am hungry.~Mandy

What is an NSV?

I'm new and see it mentioned everywhere but I guess everyone else knows what it means.

NSV = Non scale Victory (something great that does not have anything to do with weight/numbers)
