A Canadian "NSV" Thread



Recommended Posts

Thats great news Green!!! Sorry to hear about your crotch troubles..teehee. Don't feel too bad about some people not saying anything. I have lost 65 pounds and the only people who claim notice are the ones that know about surgery. I keep telling myself that they must notice, they just don't say anything, go figure,eh?

You know what bugs ME!?

Ok, well.. NO one here knows that I've lost or been losing weight.

I heard this idiot guy at work today, bragging that he's lost 10 lbs. I wanna run over there and grab him by the ears, yell in his face, spit and all, "I've lost almost 70!" .... but *I'm* not freakin' bragging about it.

*note* I've lost about 30ish lbs since I started working with them all. Probably not a noticeable amount... but I'm sure it would be noticeable if they saw me 6 months ago.

That's why you have to get home at Christmas because if people that know you don't notice you've lost weight they would have to be blind or just, well.....stupid!!!

Here's an NSV that is important to Green: I can now put my clothes in the dryer without worrying that they will shrink. Yippee!

To some people, fat is fat. It's almost like you have to get to "portly" from "fat" before people will notice. My band buddy Jane has lost a little less than me but because she began with a much lower BMI she looks now totally transformed. Everyone has noticed her, only a few have noticed my loss. Nobody knows about us being banded, so they're not expecting changes in us.

Good NSV, Green!!!

Yesterday, instead of going to penningtons, where I've shopped for like 10 years, I decided to go to the mall. I asked my daughter if she minded if we stopped into Cotton Ginny, I havent been to there store since my youngest was born, there sizes didnt go big enough for me. Well, I was like a kid at Christmas, trying on everything!!! Even my 17 year old was having fun. Here mom, try on this!!! It was a great moment! I'm happy!!

Oh, and I came home with 2 sweaters and compfy track pants!!

Yeah, I agree Yoda. I hate track pants, Actually we have a rule in our house, no track pants outside the house, especially the guys, I really do hate them. However, I thought with winter coming on, it would be really nice to have something comfy to wear after work and before bed.

Congratulations Cloe! Cotton Ginny is one of my favourite stores. They always have good sales and their clothes are made of natural fibres. That is a big deal for me because I tend to sweat a lot. And I am one of those people who is a true Winter and only looks good in black, white, gray, and red - they always have clothes in black and gray, even in the summer! Yep, I love Cotton Ginny and I know you are going to love it, too.

Big people have to be careful about track pants. So many of us end up wearing them everywhere, eh.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
