I rocked a size medium BeBe's summer dress yesterday. I haven't been in a medium since Jr High and I've NEVER in my life been able to fit in ANYTHING from BeBe's.

Let's see...

I found out that I have a neck and hip bones, who knew...

The airplane ride last week was great. I was not sick before hand worrying if I would fit

I still can't grasp I can wear a large.

I have 10 bags of clothes for charity!!!

I think I can wear sleeveless :huh:

I am an extremely happily married women ....but sex got better!!!

I look people in the eye at restaurants now instead of feeling guilty for eating like a heffer

I catch men checking me out (not that I care but hey....it's flattering)

I can wear clothes at the store...like normal ones. Affordable ones. No more lb

I have more energy and appreciate my curves

I can feel my bones again (been buried for 5 yrs)

I. Am. Happy.

Best decision I've made hands down (besides marrying my hot hubby)

Fit in airplane seat and no extension. Excess seat belt left over. LOOK!

This is epic!!!!! Congratulations!! There's nothing worse than asking a 100# flight attendant for an extender!!!

I went shopping with my girls and went into one of those teeny bopper stores (OMG that makes me sound so old), but you know the type of store I'm talking about. I tried on a pair of jeans there size 15/16 and THEY FIT!! I didn't like them at all and didn't buy them but I was so excited that they fit. I also stood in front the mirror at the gym the other day and I didn't want to gag!! HA HA, yeah I know that's cruel but I felt closer to average and didn't feel like the one fat girl at the gym. It was amazing!

I have lost 30 pounds since the surgery, and 50 overall (50 to go). Here are my favorite non-scale victories:

Being able to cross my legs!

Being able to sleep on my stomach again!

Being able to run without pain in my hips, knees, and feet!

Being able to shop in the Misses section of the store!!!!!!!

Being able to do a sit-up, or paint my toe-nails, or tie my shoes without my belly causing all the air to whoosh out of my lungs!

So pleased to be able to share with all of you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
