NSV For me!!! I got on a plane and the seat belt fit and I could pull it about 6" extra room!!! Oh and the tray didn't touch my body anywhere!!! Small victory but I'll take it!!!

Way to go girl! I'll take it too lol
I'm packing for traveling back to Thailand for 2 weeks and it's the lightest luggage ever! I packed 4 tops, 3 pants, 3 dresses (could have been 2 but I love wearing dress) and 3 pairs od shoes. Before I always loaded the luggage with clothes because you never know which one to mix with one or some clothes might "shrink" during the trip lol. Now I look good in every piece and on the contrary, hope nothing will get sagging on my body during these two weeks!

Bought my first pair of regular calf vs. wide calf knee boots. Can even tuck my jeans into them!

New NSV's at 7.5 months:
Halloween - I led the pack instead if the rear. I had those kids charged up and we forged ahead. I was always the mom at the back wishing we would skip a street and go home. This year, I was the mom who could have kept going.
Scrub shopping - preop I weighed 325 and was wearing 4X pants because even though 3X fit, they were snug. So 4x was big but it's what I wore. I rarely wear scrubs to work and had a pair of 2X from a long time ago that I could wear if needed. But I wanted some for the busy winter months. I went to the scrub shop and asked for 2X. I was about to check out And the owner said "I think you should try these on, they might be too big". I secretly thought he REALLY meant he was afraid they were too small because my head can't trust others good opinion of me. So I tried on a XL. Fit. Maybe even a little too big. I almost fell over. He said "I didn't think those would fit you". My brain has a hard time figuring out clothing sizes now. It's a strange thing.
Painting - shimming up the ladder to paint my house. No way I'd climb a ladder at 325. I don't love heights but I can do it now. Den has a fresh coat of much needed paint. Hallway and foyer are next.
Life is good!

My sweet friend brought me a pair of jeans today. I could tell by looking they would never fit. She wasn't sure what size they were. So after she left I looked & they are a size 4! I just started laughing. How sweet is she to even think I could wear them?!? I am in some 8s but usually 10s. I went ahead & tried them on. And guess what? I could zip them. I probably can't sit down! But they zipped!!! Made my day. I don't remember ever having pants smaller than an 8!

Count me in!!

I was sleeved on 2nd June this year and I am waiting patiently to drop into onederland I have 5 lbs to go!!! I am so excited I cannot even remember when I saw that kind of weight it was so long ago.
My journey since June has been amazing, the weight hasn't dropped off me quickly it has been slow and steady.
I was anxious at first when I would read about how much people would lose, I would compare myself to everybody on the boards.
Now I am chilled I just listen to my own body, I weigh myself once a week and if I am the same I don't stress I know it will come off.
I have lost 58 lbs since surgery and 75lbs since April! How awesome is this
I have about 60lbs left to lose and I expect it could take another year-will I get to 145 who knows
Postive things about weight loss surgery
I am more agile and less clumsy
I can fit into airplane seats and the belt is loose
My clothes look so much better on me
I can feel bones
I fit into normal clothes
I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14!

Hi I'm Jamey. 45 yro mother of two daughters 24 and 21. I'd say my weight issues started in college. My freshman 15 was 30. I married young and it was an abusive relationship, I lost some weight remarried and became a widow at 29. Goodbye normal body forever!! I'm now married to the love of my life and my girls are both going to be married in the next year or two. My highest weight was 325 (hysterectomy and hypo thyroid helped NOT) but by the day of my surgery which was just Tuesday 9/23 I was down to 289. My goal now is 165 but I'll maybe change that when I get to that point. Nice to meet you all.

Today at 11:15 am I went into the OR. I really don't feel that bad other than the gas pain, but they have been pretty regular with the pain meds. I have managed 2 walks already, but I'm going to rest the rest of evening. So glad to be a loser!

It went really well. I have lost 28 lbs since one week before my surgery!!!! Dr said I am doing great and I can return to all normal activities now. My mission now is to go to the gym every day starting Monday!!

Called the surgeon this morning and they said drink more (DUH) and also start some cream Soups or yogurt. Wow!!! What a difference 2oz of broccoli cheese Soup can do!! I feel like a new woman. Also just had 2 oz Protein Shake and well, Nap time. Hope everyone is still doing well.

I haven't forgotten just struggling on how to even figure it out.
