This morning it just hit me!!!! NSV, I love towels!!! I mean seriously!!! A towel fitting around your body after a shower is a beatify thing!!!! Hadn't experienced that in sooooo long... who knew something soo simple would be so life changing!!!! LOL

Yes, I used to have a couple of humungously large towels that were just for me, and now I can use the normal family ones. It's the little things that make the difference!

Ok - this is a silly one.....I love going into public bathroom stalls and not having to do all these contortions to be able to fit in the stall, turn around and shut the door at the same time. :P

Not silly at all girlfriend! Thanks for sharing!

So I have a Military ball to go to this weekend and had to buy a dress and I bought a size 10 in the jrs dept the last time I bought a formal dress it was a size 20 and still had to add panels in the side made from the shawl!!! I was super excited. At the end of the shopping day I told my boyfriend that I was so happy since before a day of cloths shopping would have normally ended in frustration and tears from nothing fitting but this time everything fit. Yippy!!!

So yesterday I was waiting at a stoplight and I heard someone yell - when I looked over, a guy standing on the sidewalk yelled over and asked me what time it was, I told him 2:30, he yelled thanks and I smiled at him then he yelled Hey again and when I looked at him again he had his arms out and yelled "Can I have your phone number?" I almost wrecked my car lol. Rediculous, but made me smile all day. :P

Over the past weekend, I was able to get into a size 18 pair of shorts I found at the bottom of my dresser. Big jump in 7 weeks since surgery when I was a size 22/24. Amazing!! Also dug up some old clothes I had stored away and there is a pair of size 17 shorts, I can pull up but just can't quite button, my bum can't wait to get into this summer.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
