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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
