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. :)

I was able to cross my legs comfortably in the passenger seat of a car the other night. I was so excited!

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.< /p>

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.

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!

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.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
