My NSV's so far :)

I was banded November 29, 2010 and have lost about 50 pounds in the 13 weeks since being banded. So far some of my NSV are that I can cross my legs at the knee for the first time in awhile. I have knee socks to wear with boots, that I can actually wear up to my knees. I no longer have to fold them halfway down! I have one size of jeans left in my multi sizes closet before I have to buy new clothes. My seat belt fits so much better, and my whole butt fits on the chairs at my school! These are completely silly little things you don't think of not being able to do until you can do them again, and I feel great :D What are some of the silly things you forgot about until you were able to do them again?

I went from a size 9 shoe to an 7.5 and 8....weird... LOL

Congratulations to you! That is awesome inspiration to someone who is getting cold-feet about the surgery. I'm waiting for insurance approval. I love reading positive stories and I think reading about the feet getting smaller is awesome. I wear a size 9 1/2 and I hope they go down a little so I can be comfortable again in some really cute shoes!

Yay for you!

I noticed today for the first time that the stairs I have to walk to get to my office (a lot of them) did not leave me at all winded. It was great to realize it-- I wonder how long it's been that way and I've been taking it for granted :)
