My list of NSV's!



Recommended Posts

Beyond the 88lbs I have lost =) there are a million other little things that make me happy on a regular basis. I didn't really have an major health conditions due to my weight, but I would imagine that those are the best NSV's for some people; not having to take any more meds, etc. Here is a list of mine...

  • Walking into a store and buying something off the rack without having to struggle to find my size and fit and such. Not to mention not having to spend a fortune on clothes that are in style and don't make me look 70!
  • Not being embarassed at the register when the cashier rings up my pants and then proceeds to hold them out for the whole world to see as they fold them.
  • Being able to cross my legs. I feel so much more lady like. Haha.
  • Being able to shave all the way up my leg without getting major razor burn. I believe that is due to my hormones balancing out and my legs not rubbing as much.
  • Being able to hike and play paintball and other activities without tiring after 10 minutes or being too embarassed to do those activities in front of people.
  • Sitting in the car next to my skinny best frind or sister and not continuously glancing down and noticing how much bigger my legs are.
  • Walking by a glass wall or mirror and being excited about my profile.
  • Getting a Facebook message from my "monster-in-law" stating that I am now smaller than her.
  • Being able to wear a thong without it being uncomfortable and completely lost for most of the day.
  • The old fashioned doctors scale dropping down to the 250 notch, then the 200, etc.
  • Having a lap. My puppy can now sit in it. <3
  • Being able to sit COMFORTABLY in a movie theater chair, restaurant booth, Plebotomy chair and with a seat belt on!
  • My PCOS is chilling out and I've started ovulating regularly! Hopefully a baby soon. =)

I'm sure I could go on, and some of these are ridiculously silly, but they all make a difference to me and make my world so much better. I heart my LapBand and would go through this process again and again and again. No regrets.

      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!
