That's awesome! I look forward to doing my toes again without huffing and puffing. lol

It's those little nsvs that keep us going sometimes, isn't it? Keep up the great work!

LOVE THIS POST!! That had to be one of the best things about losing weight. I can also tie my sneakers and put on nylons. I could NOT do any of those things before the Lap Band.

Thanks for posting this. You are right, it is the small things we should commend ourselves on--not the number on the scale but things that make our life better. :smile:

After I lost 70 pounds I could tie my sneakers. Now, after another 35 pound loss, I can tie them so the bow is on top of the sneaker and not off to the side fat lady style. :smile:

It used to such an effort to paint my toes, now it's easy. Isn't it a great feeling?!!

Fitting into arena seats (comfortably), your feet not hurting anymore when you wear heels, being able to stand or walk for hours without effort, no more swollen ©ankles, joints hurting less, being able to shop anywhere, the list is endless! Skinny people may not get it, but you all do.

Leg-crossing rocks! I like wrapping a regular sized bath towel around me--and having nothing protrude. (Actually, there's an 11-inch overlap--yes, I measured LOL).

And being in the bathtub---with everything submerged. That's fun.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
