Today was the first time that someone who doesn't know about the surgery has noticed my weight loss!

My friends who know about the surgery are REALLY watching me, to see if they can see the weight falling off. I'm almost self-conscious that I haven't lost "enough" to "show" them or something.

But today, I was walking down my driveway, and my neighbour stopped me and commented that I've been getting thinner, and good on me!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You couldn't wipe the smile off my face for about 3 hours! :D

That's awesome. It's the first in a long line of NSV's you're going to experience. Things like that really help to keep you on track! Congrats!

Hello Cakegirl!!! I'm new here. Just wondering what does NSV stand for? Btw, congrats on your success.

HeavyDutyQ-tee, NSV = "Non scale Victory"

That's always a great feeling. It's weird, I like getting compliments but I just don't know how to handle them. Yesterday at work I ran into four guys who I hadn't seen in a while, and they were all shocked by my weightloss. Felt really good, but I just kind of stand there smiling and all awkward like.

Way to go!

NSV is for Non scale Victory. Pretty exciting when it happens.

Yay! NSV's are the best! Seeing movement on the scale is great, but getting NSV's compliments are good for the spirit. Congrats, Karen

I hear ya, sandworms! I think the problem is that we've (most of us, anyway) have been fat our whole lives and have never learned how to handle compliments because we never got them. I'm the same way. It really does feel awkward!
