After a long winter of working out in my gym. I now see many new faces working out to get ready for summer weather. I was on an elliptical I had my resistance setting maxed. The woman next to me finished and walked up to me and said Thanks for inspiring me to stay on the elliptical longer. She kept saying I was in great shape. I thanked her. It's strange to hear those words used to describe me. It felt good.

I'm newly sleeved as of 4/29 and my first NSV was seeing my friends for the first time prior to my liquid diet. I wore a hoodie because that's how I normally cover myself up and they were all interested in how much weight I've lost and how in up and walking 5 days post-op. One of my wife's friends actually said she was proud of me for taking this big step and not complaining about it once.

I like to wear dress shirts that are a little snug and now I have trouble finding one that fits me well but does not asphyxiate me at collar. Most size 15 are good fit but tcollar is too tight.

Reading all of you NSV has really got me teary eyed! I can't wait to be where you guys are. I am 6 days post op and have lost a total of 30 lbs from approval to post op. I have gotten compliments but I don't physically feel different yet but am confident I will be posting on this thread soon.

Before my surgery 9.5 months ago I bought a cute bolero halter vest that ties in the back in a large, off Ebay for $6, and every so often I would take it out and try it on, and it wouldn't tie...guess what I'm wearing today!? I am so happy, I feel so cute.

1. I fit in the seats at the ballpark and there is room on either side where my hips used to cram in and hurt.

2. I wrapped the towel around me at the gym on my way to the shower and it stayed on!

Bought this in a large and received it today. I love it! It might be too big before long though...

I tried on a pair of size 16 jeans. They were stretch fit, but guess what... THEY FIT!!!!

I'm emotional. I still have a long way to go, but off to a good start!

      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...

      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
