I just had a NSV - a big one for me!



Recommended Posts

This is so silly but maybe some of you remember my signature before my surgery that said "NSV I'm most looking forward to - being able to wrap a towel around me after the shower without 1/2 my fat belly and a boob hanging out."

The reason I wrote that is because it was that sight that convinced me I needed surgical intervention.

Well, just now, I got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around me, and looked in the mirror - no fat hanging out, no boob hanging out, the towel went ALL the way around me like a normal sized person.

I know this sounds silly but it's the only NSV I've had so far that has brought tears to my eyes!

So, at least for today I hopefully won't be too upset about being a slow loser, when at least I reached one goal!

:clap2:

Laura! Dahlink! Excellent NSV! just wonderful!

Okay, you've lost more than I have in your 4 months than I have in my almost year. You are on track to lose more than 70 pounds in a year. Hardly a slow looser.

Good for you, now pose for a picture you sexy thang!

I remember the tiny dish towels they gave us in high school when we were forced to shower in front of 1/2 the school. We were given a choice to either cover one boob or our cooter. I'd like a normal towel to wrap around me one day.

NSV= Non scale victory

Thanks all of you! It might be a slightly oversized towel, but it's still one of my same towels that 1/2 my belly fat and one boob hung out of before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
