CG,

I imagined that the old boyfriend who never called me back would come tumbling out of one of my fold once I started losing....ha!

Sorry, crude joke. But now that I don't have any folds I can laugh about it.

Simple things that skinny people take for granted every day because they are just part of life.

It will always amaze me how before wls I would get all shaky and irritable if I didn't eat and now I can and do live on 1000 cal a day without any problem.

It amazes me when I catch a glance at myself in a reflection of a glass door or window and I don't disgust myself.

I can walk in a room and by far not be the heaviest one there.

Running a 9 min mile average.

Fitting in a booth at a restaurant.

Bending down to pick something up without having to do that wide leg squat thing.

Putting my wedding ring back on and having it now slide all over the place

Being skinnier than my husband

~~~This sounds like my wish list for the future. ;)

I HATE those bike seats! And I'm with ya! I don't get how riders ride for long periods on those things. When I did ride (when I was thin for a minute), even a gel cover didn't help.

What ever happened to the seats on the bikes when we were kids? Weren't those big, or is it just that we were small? :huh:

Being comfortable in an airplane seat.

Let's see -

  • Getting on an airplane and not only did the seat belt go all the way around - I had to actually tighten it!
  • Shopping in a skinny girl store and finding clothes that fit
  • Going Christmas shopping in regular shoes rather than super support shoes - and still being able to walk without pain at the end of the day
  • Buying my first pair of size 12 pants - ever (I'm now back up to an 18, but I swear to God I will get back there!!!!)
  • Looking in the mirror and realizing that I looked like my sister - the one who has never been bigger than a size 7.

and most recently when I went back for a fill for the first time in several years -

  • SHARING the large chair in the lobby (designed for me before surgery) with my 14 year old and still having a bit of room.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
