My First NSV

I'm still pre-op but I've been working hard at changing my lifestyle before surgery. I was supposed to get my surgery date yesterday but the office didn't call. I was feeling a little down about everything. This morning on a whim I decided to try on this pair of boots I spent $300 on last fall. I scoured the internet for super wide calf boots and made the purchase confident that these boots with the biggest calf size available aside from custom made would fit me. I was so excited to try them on when they arrived and devastated when they didn't even zip half way up. I threw them in my car thinking I'd return them. After stewing for a few weeks I decided I was going to get into the boots no matter what it took. I went to my WLS seminar the next week. I've been changing my eating and I started going to the gym. And this morning, those boots fit!!! I felt like shouting to the world! I can't wait for more NSVs to come my way.

Lots more of those NSV's to come!

I certainly hope so!  I like reading your posts, Jane. I was a vegetarian then vegan for a long time and I felt so much healthier. It's not something I think I can tackle along with everything else at the moment but maybe someday I will get back to it. I'll be looking for you for tips :-)

I LOVE this NSV! Boots are awesome 

I have a few pair from years back and I've gotten the zipper up half-way...can not wait to wear them again so I totally know what a huge NSV this is LOL

Thank you! I know you'll get those boots zipped all the way up, too. You've already lost over half of your extra weight. That's fantastic!

Woowooo!  

Funny story - I'm also pre-op and also had a shoe NSV yesterday!  I put my sneakers on and, for the first time since getting them in May, I couldn't see the white of my sock peeking out from around the tongue of the sneaker :D

I know exactly what you mean! I hate when my socks stick out. Congrats on losing the sock cleavage and good luck with your surgery this week. I will be thinking good thoughts for you!!

Thanks!  I'll be sending good thoughts your way too :D  

This is awesome about boots!

Thanks! :-D
