So excited and proud for you!

So happy for you! I took my son zip lining in Sri Lanka over the summer. He would never had done it himself and unfortunately my husband exceeded the 200 pound weight limit. Was so thankful i could go with my nine year old!

I wish that was the case for me. I’m 2.5 years out and reached my goal about 6 months after surgery. Still kills my tailbone when I sit. It’s never good, but on my 15 hour flight this week, not even a pillow helped. Not complaining though. Happy not to have the big tush anymore!

Ditto!

I have a banquet to attend tonight. In the past I’d be in tears trying to find anything to fit. Tonight I had six options right in my closet and they all look good. I’m actually excited to go!

They say under 10, but usually allow you to order without a problem or if you tell them you’ve had weight loss surgery.

Usually they let you. When they don’t automatically, I pull the manager aside and explain I had weight loss surgery. Never had a problem.

For anyone in the DMV, Silver Diner is the greatest. They have healthy kids meals based on the adult menu. I’m a huge fan of the turkey and fresh veggies. One kids meal is enough for two meals. Delish, low calorie, and cheap. They also have the adult under 600 calorie menu which is delicious but a lot of food. https://www.silverdiner.com/kids-menu https://www.silverdiner.com/menu-entrees

I love ProCare. I started with the chewable citrus vitamin (didn’t like the berry), post surgery, and then switched to capsules once I was able to swallow pills. I also use the ProCare calcium chews. My levels have been great. ProCare will send you a free sample. It’s also been convenient with auto ship a couple of years out.

100 pounds lost is AMAZING! Two weeks post surgery is early on. Be patient. I’m two years out. Trust me, you’ll have tons of NSVs!!!

I’m cheering you on!

You look amazing! Congratulations! I wore similar high heel platform shoes recently. Unlike you, my feet certainly did hurt… but, nevertheless I was able to wear them! No way I could have done that when I was 100 pounds heavier!

Thank you for this post. It made me so happy! Congratulations!

I have now idea, but I still wanted to say congratulations! 156 pounds loss is AMAZING!

NSV… happy with the way I looked for my husband’s 35th high school reunion! I didn’t feel old and fat as I would have in the past. Plus this was a few weeks BEFORE my tummy tuck and thighplasty. About 1.5 years after WLS and down from a 2x to a size 4.

You’ll get there before you know it! March will be two years post WLS for me. Just got my tummy tuck and thighplasty December 22nd. Post plastic surgery appointment tomorrow. Today I bought a short shirt to show off my belly when it’s healed. I’m probably too old to wear it, but excited I can and I’ll look good in it! Oh and even funnier… it’s a large… FROM THE KIDS department. I also bought a kids size 14 sweatsuit. So much cheaper now that I wear kids sizes rather than a 2x women’s!!!

I got my drains out yesterday and I WISH I had known about the belt. I had my tummy and thighs done and the drains were a tangled mess. Your results look awesome! Congrats!

I had a tummy tuck and thigh lift last week. Recovering now. I’m sore, but doing better than I expected. The worst part was the drains. Thankfully they’re out now. I was hoping to have my eyes done at the same time, but the surgeons decided it would be too much to do at once. It’s hard to take off from work, so it’s disappointing I couldn’t do it all at once. I may combine arms and eyes, but debating if the arm scar is as bad as the bat wings. After weight loss I loved crossing my legs and strolling around effortlessly. I’m really missing that now, but understand it’s temporary. After feeling skinny, I now feel fat. My husband said it’s just all the compression garments and swelling. Can’t wait until I’m healed and can see and feel the results.

That’s how I felt sizing out of Avenue’s petite butter denim Jeans which were so comfortable. Not that I’m complaining about being too skinny now!

They look AMAZING on you!!! Congrats!
