Hey guys I dont know if this counts as a NSV but my bf and I went to the movies yesterday to see "A Sharks Tale' and I instantly noticed how much better I fit in the seats!! LoL i guess it's the little things but it just pepped me up and made me feel really good about myself!!! I wasnt all overlapped onto him as usual (thank god he's skinny :cool: ) I was in my OWN seat!! Sorry I just had to share!!!

YAY!!! Yes. That's a NSV! These are among the first: fitting into seats at the movie, not needing an extender on a plane, sliding into booths without having to move the table, buckling your seatbelt in the car and having room between you and the steering wheel! Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life! :cool: Congrats!

Thanks guys you are the best! I dont know about not needing an extender on a plane, but the seat belt one is getting a little easier too! It's the little things that make it all worth while! Because in the end they add up to one BIG thing,,,a new LIFE!!!!

Thanks guys

Katie, congratulations!! This past summer I had a similar NSV when eating at outdoor cafes. I had to stop worrying about whether the cafe furniture would work for me--it always did! Isn't it great to feel like you fit better in the world?

Sorry guys I had to ask the first time too! NSV is a no scale victory! For instance if the scale stops moving but say you fit better in the seat at the movies...thats a NSV!!!! Or if your clothes fit better or you get compliments on how great you look! Anything that DOESN'T have to do with the scale!

      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!

        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.

      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!
