What NSV are you mist looking forward to?



Recommended Posts

NSV = non scale victory

For me it's being able to wear heels and more stylish clothes. I always felt it was hard to be feminine and morbidly obese. Carrying so much weight coupled with not a lot of clothing options just made me go for comfort. I'm hoping this changes this year.

I wanted to fit comfortably in an airline seat - I now can with room to spare. Like you, I wanted to wear high heels - on Christmas Day, I wore 5" sparkly heels! And I wanted to go dancing and shake my thang without being stared at - and I have now done that on a few occasions and LOVED it!

I am sure you will have many NSVs this year - enjoy every one!

here isn't one I'm particularly looking forward to. However, one happened over the weekend. I was shopping with my 23 year old daughter (who is a size 1 and I think maybe someone switched her with my real baby at birth or something) and I kept looking at size 3X tops and would try them on and she kept saying, "Mom you are drowning in those." She finally went and picked out some cute 2X tops and they fit beautifully. I guess I thought I was a 3X because I wasn't really fitting into the 3x's at Kohls before surgery so I thought they would fit now. Well, I was pleasantly surprised.

Wearing my wedding ring. I haven't been able to wear it since my son was born in 2002.

I haven't yet gotten my surgery or surgery date, but I am now 24 and just graduated this past year because of medical problems. I didn't buy a graduation ring because i was embarrassed to get such a high size to fit my finger. So hopefully when i do get this done i will be able to ware a ring proudly. This is just one of many thing i am wanting to get out of this surgery..

The first NSV I am looking forward to is for my belly to not touch my legs.

#1. Not having to wear shorts under my skirts! My thighs rub together something fierce so even on the hottest summer days i have on some kind of spandex shorts underneathe. it's so annoying b/c if the dress is close fitting you can totally see the shorts. Plus it's so hot and uncomfortable. I need some air up there (lol)

      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!
