OK, so I've seen the term NSV ho a few times since joining this site. Share why you are an NSV ho and what your BEST NSV has been since your gastric sleeve surgery. Bring it on! let's have fun with this. So far, my best NSV is that my pre-surgery jeans are almost falling off now :-)

OK, I'll play. My best NSV's so far are:

• Having a pair of jeans fall off my body when I reached up on my tip toes into a tall cabinet. Thankfully, no one but me was in the kitchen.
  
• Fitting into my decadent bathtub and having my whole body fit underneath the water (no beached whale effect like before surgery).
  
• Getting my flexibility back to get up from the floor playing with the grandkids and in the bedroom playing with my sweetie
  
• Finding my bones and my muscles as the fat melted away and I started exercising (I have a small frame - who knew?)
  
• Looking great in size 10 and 12 petite clothes!
  

Only 3 weeks out so far and today I decided to pull some clothes out of the closet I couldn't wear for the last 4 years and yep they fit and even better yet, I better hurry up and wear them because they aren't going to fit for long. One of my great friends is quite pleased with this because she has already started shopping in my closet!

Well, I have NSV 'Ho in my signature, so I think I'm obligated to post here. Best NSV's so far:

-Being able to WALK places. Before surgery I had a tough time walking from the front door to the car. Now I walk the length of the mall and back with no issues.

-Smaller clothes. 'nuff said there

-Finding bones I'd forgotten I had: collar bones, hip bones...

-Having a waist. As my friend told me tonight, I'm getting my hourglass shape back. He knew me before I really packed on the weight and he tells me that he sees the change coming quite clearly.

Haha, I love this one.....I have a few that are really good ones but I will warn you that one in perticular is TMI and might offend some of you.... so dont read it if you think it might offend you

1.) the small towel fitting all the way around me.

2.) getting a honk and a whistle while walking down the street.

3.) having to tell the lady at the dressing room....can you get me the next size down. this one is to big.

4.) (this is the TMI one) my hubby going down there (you know the spot) for the first time in 16 years.

5.) accidentally grabbing the medium dress instead of the ex large one.....getting upset when I tried it on and it was just a little tight...thinking to myself WTF ex large didnt fit? (FYI I bought the dress anyways cause I loved it and knew it would fit eventually) got it home and was hanging it up when I realized the tag said medium instead of ex large! hehe...and BTW... it fits me now! DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!! OH YAH!

More TMI Alert:

Going into the small bathroom stalls and being able to reach my booty!!! (Usually have to go in the bigger stalls for logistical reasons I'm sure some of you are aware of! )

A little awkward posting on NSV Ho pst since I'm a dude... But anyway!

- GETTING hand me downs

- taking clothes to goodwill because they are too BIG

- Crossing my legs

- knee and ankle joints don't hurt so much
