I have been reading a lot of the stories here, I am just getting started in this process and I have a question. What is a NSV?

Thanks!

Hey FindingMe - thanks!! I kept a lot of old clothes from way back 20 years ago. Levi's are my absolute favorite jeans - no doubt about it. I have some super cute Levi's that I outgrew those 20 years ago and I always wanted to get back into them. Some are size 13's and some are 14's. I'm just now starting to fit into them, and those are such an achievement... I seriously started to think I'd never be able to again. Now these are back in the day before random and vanity sizing - so it's quite the accomplishment!!!

Hi Knee, welcome to the BEST support website you will find for the VSG! :) An NSV = Non scale Victory - for all the wonderful things that accompany weight loss, that is not defined by the scale.< /span>

HTH

You know what chica, I'm stopping at 4's myself. Those 4's I bought are really freakin tiny, and something else I noticed... Kohl's doesn't have anything smaller than a 4. :huh: NO WAY!! I don't care if I'm 180 and fitting those 4's that's going to be it for me. Plus, I just bought a small cardigan today from Nordstroms Rack and it fits. Crazy - I know this I'm very close to being done for real. Besides once I get the skin removed, that will probably take off about 10 Lbs right there... LOL :)

Kohl's is my favorite!! PS I'm already borderline looking like a crack head... lmao!

Lol yea I'm thinking a size 6 for me. Even though I think I was a size 6 at birth laugh.gif. Its crazy because my hip bones already stick out and the hubby can grab them. Once I can fit into more size 8's I'll be happier but just wish clothing makers would have a set way of sizing. You get so excited putting on a size 8 and then you cant even fit some size 12's WTHunsure.gif

You and Leslie are going to run out of misses sizes end up shopping in Jrs. department FOR SURE LOL!

Sorry to say that now I'm buying 6's in capris THERE IS NO GOOD SELECTION there, and 4's forget about it. I went to Ross today and there were like 5 size 6's to choose from, and at Marshalls there were a few more but not great. It's pretty sad.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
