Queen-Sized NSV (Non-Scale Victory)

The bed, not the girl! We are just back from a four-day getaway and our beautifully-appointed hotel room had a Queen. Before weight loss? No way! For years it's had to be a King but no more. But now it was just fine. Oh, and I just hopped off the scale and did not gain a thing despite the fact that I ate deliciously-rich restaurant food (mostly French) -- those small portions really work. And I love it that now I can (and do) just stop. Now for some serious exercise (another NSV -- wanting to do it!).

Bandista what wonderful NSVs!!!! Great job on enjoying your vacation and coming home with no extra baggage:-) That my friend is a huge feat!!!!

Those are great examples of NSVs! Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Totally. It makes me feel really empowered to be eating hearty food and asking for to-go boxes every time. I feel like I am one of everybody else now...lamenting that the food is too much instead of clearing the whole plate in five minutes. I am not counting or measuring or restricting anything (except for straight carbs) and I am comfortably in the 1 lb/wk phase now.

Welcome back from your getaway!

This is awesome!

I'm still paying penance for 2 helpings of pumpkin pie....ya. With the whipped cream...fabulous.

But you know, I got time. A month or two of keeping Water and Protein high

)exercise is a constant) and 2016 will be moving forward ... Into my tenth year of being banded...

Happy to be blessed with a certain constitution that takes foreign objects in stride????????

Lots of WLS patients have a hard time w/ the band.

I am happy to share my experiences with others.
