I went to adjust my dress form to my current measurements, and I realized that it wouldn't go small enough! Guess I know how I'll be using the Joann's gift card I got for Christmas!

Sat in the booth at Waffle House and had tons of room to spare. It used to be a tight squeeze.

Also setup a new laptop, and it actually fit on my lap, very comfortably.

Me, bursting into my daughter's room, "Look, I can fit into my smaller panties!"

Daughter: "That's great, Mom. I'm on FaceTime with David."

Relaxing a bit this afternoon....sipping coffee and watching the Patriots-Broncos game......about to go get ready for a long night shift at work.

Wife is doing son's laundry and found that I'd left a load of my stuff in the dryer and forgotten about it when it was done.

She walks into the den where I'm chilling....holding up a graphic t-shirt...skulls and stuff all over it.

"Hey,.....is this JP's shirt (our 16 year old XL shirt wearing teenager) or.......is it......your's ?" "It'd fit him, but I don't think he'd wear something this scary looking".

"Mine.........shirt is mine" sez me.

"Oh........okay". Walks off.....then comes back and looks at me again. "Really ?".

"Yup. My shirt. Sorry, forgot to get my stuff outa there".

"No....that's okay.....it just looks.....much different than what you normally wear", she says before leaving me to the game.

I wanted to jump up and give her my best Leslie Chow pump & spray gesture and announce, "A whole otta stuff is different !!!"....but settled for a shoulder shrug and returned to the game.

Little T-Rex better keep his paws off my new clothes, too. :D

i can easily bend over and touch the mat in yoga, I would have never been able to do it before, even being flexible because my stomach got in the way.

This weekend we had a ton of snow and usually my husband will take the kids sledding. This time I took them and even went down the large hill myself! I was always afraid I wouldn't be able to climb it, but now with the weight loss, I scaled it easily! Best part is I had fun with my kids!

Today is one month since my surgery. I'm down 21 lbs on my scale! My NSV was yesterday and today. I have a few pairs a pants that were my size but just too tight compared to the others. I was able to wear one pair yesterday and just put on the other pair-they feel even better! These are really the first things I can really say I noticed!!!

I had to think what was the biggest NSV and theres two, the first time i jokingly pulled a sport cot off the rack ( was in a walmart) and it FIT! never bought off the rack before. i didnt buy it but it got me emotional. but the biggest single nsv was waking up one morning and seeing the...umm. the other part of me ......that was up before me .....rising over what used to be my belly. if you get my drift.

:rolleyes: :blush:

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
