So I know a lot of people Celebrate every little NSV and to an extent, I do too. BUT! Today I think I have my biggest NSV yet.

As of this morning, I have lost enough weight that I would no longer qualify for VSG since I had no co-morbities.

To me, that is huge!

Would love to hear some of the NSVs you considered major.

Keep up the good work everybody!

Ok, so in hindsight I realize this might not actually be considered and NSV since I'm talking about weight. But It's my BMI that really made me think of this.

Congratulations! There are so many big ones that it is hard to pick one.

This week I have been in beautiful Hawaii with my family. In fact, I am sitting out on my balcony on the ship in Kauai listening to my music via headphones while the rest of my family is sleeping.

This vacation was the first in so many years that I was actually able to keep up with everyone every single day. I would call that one of the biggest wins for me outside some of very improved health.

I am blessed with a whole new life!

I had a NSV this week. I actually went into Victoria Secrets and brought some workout pants ( size medium) and a hoodie(size L) First time I have ever purchased anything from there and I felt comfortable browsing around. Before my weight loss I would go in there to buy things for my daughter and I used to feel so awkward- not anymore!! Plus while I was shopping I would catch glimpses of myself in the store windows and was so surprised that I looked like a "normal" sized woman. This surgery has helped me make so many positive changes!!

Non scale victory. Like fitting into an old pair of jeans, or having a roomier seat. A victory that doesn't involve the number on a scale.< /p>

My blood pressure was normal last Friday 120/80 without medications. I've never seen a number so low. So happy!!! I'd go through this over and over again to achieve this result!

I'm actually going into my kids school to volunteer at the book fair :-) I'm still big. But I'm not as big. So I finally feel like I can make an appearance in school without kids saying smack about me to my kids. I hope anyways!

Well I'm a new post op, little over a week, but I already have a NVS.. For the first time in 20 years, I'm under 300 pounds! I almost fainted when the scale read 286!

Mine was when my son hugged me yesterday and said "look mom!!! My arms fit around your tummy!!!" His hands overlap and he could reach all the way around me. That made my year!!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
