That moment when someone u haven't seen in 5 months sees u but walks past u bcuz they don't recognize you.

That's what I encountered today at work. That was one of my best NSV's so far. I'm 8 months post op and 35 away from goal. This NSV just motivated me more than ever. To hit my goal by November. My Bandiversary.

Haha! Yes, but my own daughter, who sees me hundreds of times a week, looked down a Walmart aisle and didn't see me! Best wishes and hope that you get to your goal by November!

I've had a few NSV's in the past month or so, but yesterday was my biggest! I was walking into Walmart & caught a reflection of myself in the door & couldn't believe what I saw....my collar bone!!! It's been in hiding for a few years. I never thought something so small could mean so much!

NSV=non scale victory!

I , also, have gotten a kick out of seeing myself in the overhead mirrors and realizing that it is me in the mirror and I don't look 1/2 bad! Karen

I work in a car dealership and so does my 21 year old son. Yesterday a customer came in, her husband had been my son's soccer coach when he was about 10. I asked her if she recognized Adam. She said, "yes, I knew who he was right away, it's YOU I didn't recognize!" :P

Mine isn't as great as the others listed here, but one of my NSV's I am most proud of right now, is the fact that pajamas bottoms that were rather perfect/tight on me a few weeks ago, are now becoming so baggy to the point I'm going to have to toss them out and get some new ones.

My NSV..... Doing a Zumba video without stoping and feeling awesome! I am 2 week post op. I could barely make it to seven minutes of the video a month ago. May not mean much to others but priceless to me.

A couple weeks ago I water-skied for the first time in about 20 years, it felt great! M two youngest kids didn't even know I could. Yes, the little things mean a lot!

These are all amazing stories. Especially the collar bone post. I hadn't thought about it before but yes that is a big difference I also notice.

      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!
