Non Scale Victories?



Recommended Posts

Hello Bandster Bunnies!!!

My roommate just got banded and she and I constantly talk about Non scale Victories (NSV), and I thought I'd start a thread for us to share what we're looking forward to beyond seeing the numbers drop on the scale.< /p>

I have a bunch, but the ones that pop into my mind most often are:

*Buying jeans that don't have stretch in them

*Not having to pull my pants UP and pull my shirt DOWN when I stand up

*Fitting nice and easy into airplane chairs, Starbucks chairs, bistro chairs, etc.

*Playing sports again

*Going swimming and enjoying it

*NOT shopping at Lane Bryant anymore

And just now I came face to face with one...

**Actually weighing what I state on my driver's license!!!!

I bumped it up to 200 a while ago, and to even be down to 200 will be a HUGE milestone. WOOHOO, I can't wait!

:thumbup:

What are some NSVs you all are looking forward to?

I am not part of the April group, but my biggest NSV was at the gym not long ago.

A guy came up to me and asked me how I got my legs so toned. I was so shocked. I just pointed to the machines that I use all the time. They have really helped my thighs

which are not flabby at all. I wish I could say the same thing about my arms.

- Running and enjoying it.

- Wearing a swim suit!

- Not sweating as much!

- Wearing a singlet in public although I am not sure I will ever be able to do this without feeling naked.

      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.

      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!
