More NSV's ( non scale victories)



Recommended Posts

Having gone from 245 to 145 in less than a year I am so happy and thankful! However the scale doesn't reflect everything right my friends....So I love this topic because it gets us thinking about the awesome perks of losing weight beyond the scale! Here's my update :

1. My wedding ring is falling off - need a re- size

2. My pants never seem "tight enough" how many of us felt like our pants were previously cutting off our circulation ? Lol

3. I get complimented on my clothing by strangers .... Never happened before as I was always wearing frumpy clothes to cover up

4. Strangers in stores ask me " are you always this happy" .... Even though they don't know why- you guys get it .... " yes!!! Yes I am"

5. Finally - only regret .... Why the heck didn't I do this sooner !

Man, yeah, lookin good...!!

So lemme jump on this little bandwagon:

1)No longer taking meds or treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

endless pain meds, and sleep apnea.... utterly life changing!

2) I can buy clothes off the damn rack now, yay!

3) It no longer sounds like someone is getting strangled in the next room when I tie my shoes....

4) It's easy to get up early now

5) I can cross my legs comfortably when sitting

6) I can tuck in even a t-shirt without embarrassment

7) Might swim this summer in front of other people for the first time in decades

8) Might even dance at some point

HELL, KEEP THIS UP I MIGHT EVEN ATTRACT A GIRLFRIEND.....!!!!

One more thing ... Forgetting the size sticker on my new clothing isn't an embarrassment anymore it's all good ! 6 rather than 20 is a badge of honor rather than a shame sign ????

      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!
