NSGs.....Celebrate!



Recommended Posts

All bandsters know that our weight loss journey has nothing to do with numbers on the scale. That is why we have (yipee) non-scale victories! Why do our goals find themselves on the right hand side of some bad-assed ticker software? I need to hear Non-Scale-Goals!

I had several NSG's when I began this----many of which have been successfully met.

*To eliminate some or all of my prescription medications.

this was met!

*To be able to ride my elliptical for the entire 30 minute pre programmed work out!

This was met!

*To play with, run with, generally enjoy my grandchildren.

This has been wonderfully met--today I slid down the slide in the park!

*To shop in "normal" stores.

Most stores carry 14's----there are those annoying 5-7-9 stores--but are they really for 40 somethings???

*To find my confidence again----and slowly but surely I am picking the pieces back up!

All kinds of little things, crossing my legs, soaking all of me in a bathtub (and being able to get out), giving myself a pedicure, tying my shoes on top instead of on the side! Sooooo many little things---you discover new things each day!

My pleasure Jill----you will find as the weight comes off you will find little things all along the way that you had forgotten what they were like!

I love my band!!!

seeing my collar bones.

running

walking in heels and not dying

crossing my legs

scooting the car seat forward, not hitting the gas with my tiptoes

having my DD wrap her arms completely around me

no seat belt extender on the plane, no look of dread from the person seated next to me

      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!
