Please help - NSV?!?

I feel so dumb, but in two months on this board I have not been able to figure out what "NSV" means.  I have come up with many creative wrong answers:

Not Summer Vacation

Nearly Sure Vegan

Non Stop Vegas

Nice Soft Vegetable

Nine Sleeves Vertical

Non Selfish Variety

Never Self Vaccinate

Niners Still Victorious

Nice Sounding Violin

...Could someone please just tell me and let my mind go back to real work?? 

SO FUNNY!! I asked the same thing in October when I joined!!!  It's another abbreviation for - don't ask me why - I was never told that - was just told it was another way of shortening Vertical Sleeve Gastronomy.

Ann - 4 months out on the 21st of March and 1/2 way to Goal of 135!!!

Actually it is non scale victory and the correct term for the surgery is vertical sleeve gastrectomy.

I think it means non scale victory

 

 

LOL

It absolutely means Non Scale Victory.  During this weight loss process many of us will have victories in watching the scale go down.  Reaching milestones on the scale.  Many of us will also have great things happen that has nothing to do with the numbers on the scale.  

This first time that someone that you have known for a long time sees you and doesn't even recognize you anymore.  That would be a NSV.  

If you wake up one day and none of your clothes fit any more and you have to go buy some new ones.  A NSV.

There are many such victories you will experience other than watching the pounds come off.

You no doubt have had some of these already.

Frisco!

I have read some very thought provoking posts from you...but I will not stand for this!!! I must speak up!!! (As I pull my Patriots superbowl mug... from a previous year... closer to me... and dream)

As I've said in the past...I'm a nurse...it means Never Self Vaccinate!!!

Thanks for the smile!!

Seagirl...PLEASE don't ever feel dumb here! How are you supposed to know if no one tells you!! ( NON SCALE VICTORY)...You need to ask as many questions as you can! You'll be teaching others this stuff someday!

Yeah that one was for you!

Things like crossing your legs, riding on a plane without a seatbelt extender, running a mile non-stop, buying a smaller sized dress, someone calling you slim or skinny, being able to buy knee high boots that you can actually zip up......all of these are Non Scale Victories.

They are great benefits of the surgery that aren't anything to do with the number on the scale.

if it makes the earlier posters feel better, I also had to ask what it meant...and I am usually pretty savvy about figuring these out on my one...this one got the better of me
