Great topic! Some of my favorite NSV's are: I can cross my legs; I can shop for clothes in regular size departments/stores; I don't have to use the handicapped stall in public restrooms; there's plenty of room in airplane and theater seats now; I can sit on the floor and get up again without needing a crane to lift me; I wore a bathing suit in public while on vacation; I bought my first short skirt in 30 years and even wear it in public; people I tell about my weight loss say, "I never would have guessed you were ever that big."

Omg! I was cleaning some jewelry today and decided to try on my favorite ring, which used to fit tight. Well, I can wear it now, yippee!

My current NSV is sitting in my recliner and pulling my legs and feet up in the seat with me. I've always been short and would pull my feet into my chair so they wouldn't dangle and go numb. (My grandmother would tell me that I wasn't allowed to feed my knees at dinner.) At some point I became too big to do that in my recliner. Sure I could lean back and have my feet on the foot rest but it's just not the same as snuggling up in the seat. But now I have plenty of room in my recliner. :-)

I haven't been banded yet but this has been one of my favorite threads!

Knowing that I can fit into pretty much any chair without breaking it.

Sitting in booths at restaurants.

Running.

Knowing a seat belt in any car will fit me.

Shopping in the regular ladies section/occasionally juniors section.

Feeling almost normal.

1st: was yesterday when at the end of my 30 min walk on the treadmill I actually JOGGED the last few minutes!!!!!!!

2nd: was today during my walk; when I started walking 2-3 minutes, then jog a minute and then walk, jog, walk, jog and repeated this the entire workout!

3rd: was this morning when my husband said "WOW, I can already tell you have lost weight and your belly, its almost completely gone!".

--Tomorrow will be 3 weeks & I'm scheduled for my first fill--

I'm down 21 lbs from surgery & 32 lbs from my heaviest weight.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
