Anyone else have a NSV?

Hi Lisa, so good to see you around!

You MUST confess your weightloss secret... so much in so little time! PLEASE tell us!!!

Theres no place like home ...Theres no place like home" (Thanks Paula & Zoe)

Psst ....Paula, My secret ...The embilical cord that once ran from my stomache to the fridge has been cut. I no longer have a love affair with food glorious food...I guess that's one more NSV is'nt it!

I finally have an NSV! my rings fit again! And I don't have the terrible edema problem I developed over Christmas any more! Woot! Two NSVs for week two!

Cool, awesome, terrific, fantastic, superb!

Uhh ...nuff said ...I gotta get to that Easter Egg Hunt or the the kids are gonna hogg tie me and take me hostage =) :cheeky

Happy Easter People!

This is a gi-normous NSV. I haven't used my inhaler in five whole days! As many of you know, I have terrible acute and chronic asthma. Five days before my band installation, I had to be taken to the ER via ambulance. My asthma was one of the main reasons I got the band, that whole prospect of death by resperatory failure just didn't apeal to me. (..."I want a death by misadventure, wanna be in a bus that crashes into a train, just like Ozzy Ozborn! I wanna death by misadventure. Got no deathwish, suicde is bogus, this practical dude has some years to go!" (http://www.bobrivers.com/audiovault/tunes/tunes.asp?Var=D It is 7th one down "Boys! turn that "Guns and Butter" down! )

My book bag doesn't seem as heavy as it was before I was banded. (and I do almost all my walking with that bookbag)

It doesn't hurt to stand at the sink when I do the dishes anymore. I believe it is because I can get closer to the sink because my tummy is smaller. I've lost an inch from my waist!

Speaking of inches lost, I've lost a total of 23 from my entire body.

CORRECTION! I didn't loose 43 inches, I lost 23 inches. I fat-finged, type-oh, wishful thinking, PEBKAC, I/O error... and the list goes on.

That is wonderful, I am so happy for you. Wow, 43 inches is alot.

Fantastic news! Just wait to see how great you feel in another few weeks! I see skydiving in your future. . .

Crystal, my mouth dropped open! OMG!!!

...-43 inches gone in less then a month. WOW!

Crystal that is fantastic!

Crystal, Unbelieveable 43 inches

You have got to be feeling so fantastic. I'm so happy for you

No inhaler for 5 days is huge

Way to go!

*Hugs* and *kisses* to you gurls ...

Michelle, Betty, Paula, Zoe and Bella (and the other supports on this board) ...you ladies encourage me with your selfless support. My spirits are always lifted when I see others like you reaching beyond yourselves offering your love and support to your fellow lapbandsters. Thank You for brightening my day ... *cheers*

And vinesqueeen (Crystal?) that is a GI-Normous NSV, your doing fantastic ...keep up the good work and please keep us posted sister

Like Paula said, 23 is awsome as well!

another day, another NSV! I ran up a flight of stairs this evening. I didn't even realize what I had done until after I had done it! And my had my 20 pound backpack on. I wasn't even winded when I got to the top either!
