Tell me your recent NSV!



Recommended Posts

Today I wore pants that I haven't worn in YEARS (yes, I save everything). I tried them on a few weeks ago and they were a little tight...so I put them back in the closet thinking ok, I'll try them in a couple weeks. Well today I put them on and they were big...almost sloppy...I was amazed!! I wore them to work but they probably won't be worn again. Squeal!!

I am wearing jeans with no belt. No beachball belly pushing my pants down. Hip bones actually doing the job.

The exception is the jean shorts I put on this morning. I bought them a few months ago and now they are too big, needed a belt. Another month and they will be displayed at the Goodwill. :)

I started 7 weeks ago in a tight 20- should have been a 22. Tuesday- I tried on a pair of 14's and they fit! Now mind you- they didn't look great- but they were on and zipped with NO muffin top! My ex husband actually asked if I had lost weight (this is the same man who didn't notice when I chopped 9 inches off of my hair). Good times!

I was able to actually run on the treadmill yesterday. And at an incline! I havnt actually ran in over two years. I also didnt get terrible cramps in my calves, which is why I stopped running to begin with. Progress!

I'm only 3.5 weeks out - but today I wore a suit jacket to work! I had not worn one in a long time because they fit so tight. Also - the shirt I wore under it is going in the goodwill bag when I get home (my first donation since surgery)! Also - I no longer have to raise the steering wheel in the car to get in and out! WOO HOO!!!

*Having NO slacks left to wear to work (all too big!)

*Crossing my legs. Comfortably..without going numb

*Fitting into an XL sports tank (formerly wore a 22/24 top)

*I made so many new holes in my belts, I had to get rid of them altogether!

There are more NSVs, and I cherish each one.

You are all awesome! I can't wait to be right there with you -- but I have one of "those" questions --- what is NSV?

Getting my EOB from insurance and seeing they actually paid for what they said they would!!!

That's a big one, GingerRN. My insurance company paid for my operation but refused to pay for the anesthetic, over $3,000. Something about the anesthesiologists didn't put down the right code numbers. I could get noone to help me, no way to contact the rubes at the hospital.. They fought me for many months but finally paid. Then I had to prove to the doofus anesthesiologists that they did pay, they kept billing me.

I went to renew my drivers license today and asked the clerk to change my weight listed to my current weight. She called her coworker over and they wanted to know how I had lost 80 pounds and if I would recommend WLS. When I reach my goal, I may just go back and get a new license, but this is my weight today and I worked hard to get there and I'm proud of it. Also, I put on a new pair of Ann Taylor 12 Petite black jeans today that have been in my closet as inspiration and aspiration for the past month. They not only fit...I needed to wear a skinny belt!

I went shopping today for some new scrubs to wear to work, have been off for over a year! My 3x scrubs no longer fit!

I squealed with delight when I could squeeze myself into an xl shirt and pants! That's something I have not done since I was in my teens:) so so happy, I can't wait to go back to work looking amazing!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
