What's your NSV this week?



Recommended Posts

I read a post below asking what nsv stands for and I thought it would be great to hear about everyone's non scale victories (nsv) for the week. How did your sleeve make you smile?

This week I successfully completed a whole hour of p90x without dying! It was hell, but I never could have done it 6 weeks ago.

Also, since my last measuring june 8th, I have lost 33 1/2 inches from my body. Yay!

I got back into a pair of skinny jeans that I hadn't been able to wear for MONTHS. I don't think I like them anymore, but at least they fit.

I found out I am in an XL top down from a 3X and 22 pants down from a 26/28. I also wore both a bathing suit and shorts in public for the first time in probably 18 yrs. I even went swimming at the Lake in front of a big crowd!! It was so awesome. I didn't feel like I was the fattest person or that everyone was staring at me.

:cheer2:

I was able to stay outside the whole time the family did fireworks on the 4th. The extra weight magnified my back problems and made me duck out on lots of outside activities. That plus the fact that I can take the heat so much better now.

I've had a few NSV's this week:

-could fit into a size 9 shoe (wore an 11 at one point)

-people telling me that my XL size scrub top was too big

-being called skinny mini at work

and this isn't a weight loss victory, but a victory overall: my bf decided to join my gym!! now we're both getting healthier and spending more time together

I could stand on the floor put my one leg up on a chair and bend long enough to paint my own toenails!! WHOOT!! They haven't seen paint in YEARS!! LOLS :blink:

I got hit on at Home Depot yesterday. :blink: It's been such a long time since anyone other than DH has come onto me that it took a few minutes for it to actually sink in just *why* this guy just happened to bump into me in 3 separate aisles trying to make small talk. :lol: I'm so used to being invisible to others that I barely said 3 words to the guy - I'm sure he thought I was a complete snob!

I have several:

I felt the bone at the bottom of my sternum- been so long since I could feel ribs, hips, etc through my extra padding that at first if frightened me - what is this strange lump!! I had the same issue with my hip bone a few weeks back. Haha - wonder what bone will scare me next?

I rocked an XXL tie-dye tank from Walmart on the 4th and my pants are getting too big. I have one more set of skinny jeans to work through before I have to buy new ones. I tried on one top this week and discovered it had gone from being too small to too big before I wore it. Oops!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
