PCOSSUCKS

@Ylime, Surgery went well, that gas pains weren't too bad. I'm up feeling good and excited to start this New Journey in my life. Thank you surgery Buddies for checking on me.

Got my surgery date... June 11

Im RNY on the 29th. Almost there

I’m a sleeve for May 30...anybody else

8 days! 🙌🏼 for me! 

I was following this post at some point and then never saw it again. Wonder what happened..oh well. So I've made myself a little checklist today. I went to my first consult yesterday and already have some appointments scheduled

🙋🏼‍♀️ day 5 for me. Surgery next Thursday

I have this suit I bought to go on a cruise in September that was a shade too tight then. Today I brought it in to have it taken in and the tailor said it’s too big on me to take in. “You lost a lot of weight?” he asked. “Yes, I lost a lot of weight” I responded.

THE BEST!

2 months post op :
Fit into a coat I haven't worn in 8 years (super expensive down coat I refused to give away )
Fit into a dress I haven't worn in 7 years
Went down half a shoe size

I almost forgot this one. Even at my heaviest I had small fingers. About 7 1/4. My hubby got me a new ring for Christmas. I had to have it reduced to a size 6[emoji2]

My back pain is so much better. Actually I used to be in pain all over on a daily basis. Though I still have the occasional aches. Things have improved tremendously. With the clothes. I feel like I don't know where to start. I've been shopping in plus sized shops so long the variety I now have just amazes me.

I can clip my own toenails comfortably now.

That’s great! I’m not sure if my feet will get smaller, they’re pretty bony right now, but I guess we’ll see.
If I look down, I can see...well, I can see.

Had another NSV tonight! I haven't worn heels in a very long time. I've been wearing a size 12W for a while but when I ordered a 12W and 12M both were too big! I get to return them for an 11M! Just reminds me how much the extra weight affected so many other little aspects of my body and life. I didn't expect to go down a full shoe size and width but I'm relieved! It's nearly impossible to find large stylish shoes. Not to mention that my ankles couldn't even take the strain of wearing heels before weight loss. Now that I'm not carrying an extra 125lbs heels don't feel so bad!

Four and a half months out from surgery... This morning, I noticed something weird above my thigh getting out of the shower. Kind of a lump, it looked like.
I was worried for a minute then I noticed it was on the other side, too. It was my hip bone. It has never been visible before in my entire adult life.

9 days post op, down 10 lbs since surgery, 17 total. Knees already feel boney and like I need a pillow between them to sleep on my side.

One week post-surgery and 17 pounds lost, which translates to:
- My belt needs to be pulled one more notch
- Two of my t-shirts are too stretched out and need to be given away

Sitting in a seat on the plane without my hips touching either arm rest!

I can walk up a couple of flights of stairs without feeling like I'm near death and my asthma doesn't get triggered as much either.

4 months post op - I've noticed that my feet have shrunk, I've had to buy new shoes.... also I don't have to squeeze into the chair in my bosses office.

Recent (12/12), but down 30 though not focusing on it. Pants are falling off. I've got a lot of clothes that didn't fit in my closet and now they do so I've suddenly got a wide selection of clothes. I've noticed a bit less back pain too

I had my surgery 12/12/17 and so far
My favourite coat now fits with room for a jumper under, I’m down 1 size in my jeans and my knee high boots are no longer a mission to zip up.

This week, my kid took off running across the park area near his after school care... and I ran after him and caught him. He was as delighted as I was. I don't think he had ever seen me run.
