At 3 weeks out I was able to remove the extension on my 44D bra for the first time in 10 years.

Volunteered to be my 12yr olds rec softball coach and can actually stand for the entire practoce and game not to mention can roll model running for the girls.

Last night we did a drill inwhich the team had to field line drives and make the play to home plate to get the third base runner out. I was the runner, when they made it I did 10 junping jacks when they missed they did 10 jumping jacks. It was amazing!

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would play any sport ever, let alone run drills with the team or COACH! 2 years in and its a new life completely !

Hubby picked me up yesterday without any trouble and then proceeded to tell me that I need to be more careful not to be obducted. 😅😄😄😄 He is legit scared someone is going to just pick me up and steal me. I was shocked because truthfully I have never been concerned someone would steal me, ever. But now the hubby is seriously worried about it, guess it's time for a self defense class 🤣. His worry melts my heart and makes me smile lol.

This is so true, I remember reading everyone's successes and for soooo long I just wouldn't reach those goals. It took me much longer than everyone else to hit my losing stride and it worried me to compare my path with everyone else and not see it match. It's been a year and 6 months and I have lost 184 lbs. I still have 52 lbs to lose to hit my goal, the skin has been a new thing to be worried about but I have reached soo many goals Its mind blowing how different I am. Not just physically but as a whole person. Everyone needs to realize your goals and how you reach them is going to be specific to you. It's an amazing journey, strap in, commit and enjoy every phase.

I replied this to a topic of other than the scale, what other victories do you have? As I read all the post of what people are able to do now, that they were not able to do before, I was thinking about what is something I can share? I found that if I had to share one thing it would be impossible because there is countless things that I can list! Though the one thing you have to remember, if you are planning to get a surgery, is that if you are having a hard time with something due to weight and only you know what that is... know that you will be able to do that, and more! This surgery for me has been a fountain of youth. yes, it is hard, yes there will be moments of worry or whatever feeling you will get, but understand it is all part of the process. it does help hearing others experience but ultimately yours might be different so you can't go by that either. you have to trust the surgery, doctors, and most of all yourself. That you can do this! I love hearing all the great, positive, life changing things, surgery has done for so many!

Thank you for the encouragement 🥰

From 1 month lost op to 6 months post op. I am 130 lbs down from my start weight and 110lbs down from my day of surgery weight. AND 153 lbs down from my highest weight. I am still struggling with all this change, it is hard to believe the way I look. Then when I stalled I was so upset and afraid until my hubby pointed out that while I stalled on the scale I was winning in other places. My face was changing, he could wrap his arms around me and he had to hold higher up on his forarm to close completely around me. My arms are smaller, I have more stamina and strength. Thank God for his support, helping me to be strong and keep going.

My husband and kids can close their arms around me, this is thenfirst time in my childrens lives they have ever been able to do that. I can run. I can cross my legs! I find myself doing this even in the car! 😂

My recently I bought 2 pairs of leggings at target from the womens department... NOT the plus size wall, the actual Womens section. Yes they are a 2x from the womens department But they arent a 2xl from the plus size section which is bigger. I felt so proud 👏 🥲 🥰.
