I also love the fact my daughter can wrap her arms around me. I found my rib cage this morning and made both my husband and daughter come feel them LOL.

96 pounds gone.....I love that!!!!!

Shopping in regular sizes

Crossing legs

Walking by a mirror or glass door and realizing that is me

My life not revolving around food anymore

Shopping in regular sizes

Not feeling self conscious in a crowd

People telling me how young I look

Shopping in regular sizes

Shopping

Shopping

Shopping

I have many years to make up for....I can remember going to Disney years ago and going shopping and could not find anything that looked good on me in the 4X or 5X's.

I love going in and trying on clothes....it's good exercise too!

Ha Ha

I love sitting with my legs crossed again after almost 10 years.

I weigh less than anyone in my house now,

My waist is now 33 inches and my skinny butt husband wears a 34. (he's 6'2")

I can wear smaller clothes

I feel sexy now for the first time in years.

I feel more comfortable now when sitting on the couch or driving my car. (just got a new one)

People are really starting to notice that I've dropped 58 lbs and comment now because they see the difference and not just because they know I had surgery.

There are so many good feelings. The biggest is that my self esteem is really coming up because I feel people are noticing me for the right reasons and not just because I am fat. It is funny how when you are bigger that people don't really approach you to talk or look you in the eyes as much. I didn't think people were so judgemental about people who are overweight, but I am finding out that they are.

I love my calves- I look great in a skirt now.

I also think my backside looks pretty good.

My waist and rib-cage are super tiny-- I had no idea! When I wear the big-belt-over-shirt look I sometimes need a size small belt. Holy crow! (Unfortunately I still have the double belly roll + FUPA so that kills some of the excitement)

      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.

      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! 😞
