Guys, you will like this one. When you are in the bathroom and you look down and see your long lost member.

When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.
I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

When you walk from car to store with your 20 year old athletic son and an attractive woman walking back to her car looks over her shoulder three times smiling at you and your son gives you a look of wonder.

When you lay on your side and you can feel your knee bones rub together for the first time and it feels weird so you put a pillow between your legs.

When the wedding rings that used to fit so snugly that they left marks fall off your fingers and you have to hunt around in the laundry basket to find them (time to find a jeweler to size them)

BWaltD reacted to Lanette in You know you lost weight when
When your sister in law that hasn't seen you in months (lives out of state) walks past and didn't reognize you.
Also, when you actually default to going into the "normal" stall in the public bathroom instead of the handicap stall.

When the size 8 jeans you took in the dressing room are TOO BIG! (happened yesterday!) OMG....I lived for the day when I could ask the sales woman to bring me a size 6. Which freaking fit and of course I bought!

Fun thread. You know you lost weight when
You have to get new shoes because they are to wide for the feet.

I have been on oxygen for just over 2 years & a CPAP for about 18 months. I don't want to be on this stuff for the rest of my life (I'm 70). My pulmonologist & cardiologist have been after me to lose weight. Both are very happy I made this decision to have the Sleeve. My cousin had a Band about 4 years ago & she suggested the Sleeve instead of the Band. I'm so glad I made this decision. I had the surgery on May 12th & already have lost 21 lbs & feel so much better. Hard to believe 21 lbs would make that much difference. I only have 130 lbs to go. One day at a time!

BWaltD got a reaction from Patsypatrice in My story to date
Hi, Im a 49 yr old male that was sleeved in Detroit Mi. on February 3rd, 2014. HW 426 lbs, SW 380 lbs, CW 308 lbs.( 118 lbs gone FOREVER) Its been an incredible trip so far and I am looking forward for summer.A few things that have happened since my surgery: Im off of 4 meds so far, My BP is now normal. My BMI is down 17.1 pts since December of 2013. I have lost 34 inches from my body and hoping to pack my CPAP unit away. The coolest is talking to pre-op and post op pts at the hospital I work at. To tell them my story and show them how their life will be changed for the better is awesome. Life is really good now. Happy man here !!
