July 10, 201610 yr I buttoned my shorts today (day #3 post-op) without having to pull both sides tight and sucking in my gut! First NSV of many to come.

July 10, 201610 yr What is NSV? It stands for "Non scale Victory". Those are things that happen due to the weight loss that you can't measure on a scale. There are 1000's of them, such as: being able to fly in an airplane without using a seatbelt extender, having the strength and stamina to climb a small mountain, no longer having a medical condition or significantly lessened (such as sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure), clothes that you could not wear because they were too tight are now too loose, you now like having your picture taken or looking into mirrors, etc.

July 13, 201610 yr Popular Post My first NSV was when my back stopped hurting after losing the first 15 lbs. I'm now 2 months post op and down 40lbs and today I realized I can cross my legs again. YAY! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 13, 201610 yr Pulling up a pair of pants I could not get over my hips a couple weeks post op. So many more since then- buying from the regular sized racks, finding my cheek bones, sitting criss- cross in the front passenger seat on a long car ride, hiking with my husband and many many more- 14 weeks post op today.

July 13, 201610 yr My most recent NSV...annoying NSV... but an NSV nonetheless... Is i wake up every morning and the legs of my pjs have ridden up to around my knees... my calves now are too thin for my pjs to stay down around my ankes.. this also happens with my comfy lounge wear... im constantly having to pull them back down lol
July 13, 201610 yr Yes, this! I sat down cross legged the other day and didn't even realize I was doing it at first. Then I just had a "huh" moment it was great. I'm also able to go from laying on the floor or sitting to standing so quickly now that I get a little light headed, which I had forgotten was a thing that happens.
