i see two NSV's in your post :)

wonderful about losing 77 lbs :)

IMO the way you feel for other people is also an NSV

being caring/sad about your family being overweight/unhealthy

you might/are an inspiration to others :rolleyes:

possibly people will ask you info about the surgery since they see how well you are doing

tell them how great you feel, your health improvements

in general, how life is going great

i have heard of people following suit and having the surgery :)

keep up the good job :)

kathy

congrats

Here is my first NSV! I am only two weeks out , but I am so happy to have anything to be happy about. I have lost 22.5 post op, total of 46 since pre op.

1. No more staples!

2. No more back pain in the morning!

3. MUST wear a belt with all shorts, or I have to hold my shorts up at the store :-)

4. Seat belt is easier to get on, and easier to get in and out of my car.

I can't wait to have more NSV's

Sitting in one of my summer classes and it has the old style desks from high school where the desk is tiny and is attached to the chair. Before I squished into them. Now I can sit normal, even cross my legs and see my thighs easy. Totally roomy. It's awesome! !

Totally an nsv that I didn't expect!!

Yesterday was 5 weeks post op for the new me! My NSV is that I went from a size 20w (and they were getting tight! ) to today where I'm wearing a size 16w shorts that are fitting comfortably!

Weekend motorcycle trip last weekend. Forgot my swimsuit. The swimsuit I got at a specialty swimsuit store and struggled over for HOURS when I hit goal range last year to choose. Walked into Walmart and bought a cheap bikini top and board shorts right off the rack without trying on. Brought them back to the hotel and OMG THEY FIT! (Well, I overestimated sizing a bit on the shorts, but they worked except when I dove in the about came off)! The point is Walmart swim top, (bikini swim top no less) off the shelf and it didn't look half bad!

Cant believe the person I see in the mirror is me. My chest now measures 7 inch more than my waist and even size 32 jeans is loose.

I'm almost two weeks out and frustrated at my first stall, but this morning I got dressed for work and realized that the pants I had been able to just barely fit into before surgery are starting to get loose. They sit lower on my waist, are really roomy in the thighs, and no longer look like high-waters!

Update: I can, in fact, pull them off and on without unbuttoning them!

Though I'm still on my weightloss journey, I am no longer worried that I'm "too big" or "too heavy" for anything I want to do! This is a huge deal for me. At times I've felt limited or denied to do certain things because of my weight. I have let crowded elevators go and waited for the next one. I've stood up on trains because I didn't want others passengers to feel squished in their seats. But nope! No more! I don't feel that way anymore! I'm slowly but surely coming back to feeling "normal" and have dropped my fear of being "the biggest" person in the room! In my mind, in about 30 more pounds, I will feel invincible! Lol

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
