You know you've been sleeved when.....

you can actually fit into a 17 inch airplane seat, cross your legs, lower the tray and armrest and shut the seatbelt with many inches to spare!

...your hubby's business collegue you met a few years ago sees your pic on hubby's Iphone and asks who his hot new girlfriend is. The poor guy thought we had gotten divorced! My hubby was proud to tell him it was me and left it at that.

Well, clearly you win! Congrats----I'm waiting on the insurance approval and the date! Very cool for you and congratulations!

When your (DS surgery) friend orders her meal with you in mind so you can share.

You know you've been sleeved when . . .

• It's 9:30 pm and you've forgotten to eat dinner.< /li>
• You don't know what size clothes you should wear and your daughter insists you should go down 2 sizes instead of just one
• certain foods make you gag even though you *know* at one time you loved them
• you worry that there might be something wrong with you because you don't want to binge anymore
• food is no longer the center of your universe
• when thinking about a meal revolves around whether you can easily eat it or not
• not really enjoying to cook anymore because you could care less about food
• when you realize just how much time you thought about food before the sleeve and how much time you don't now!!
• you weigh whether having hair is more important than being a healthy size - sigh.
• you step on the scale, you're not afraid of what number will show up, even if you gain slightly
• you could go on and on about how the surgery has changed your life and your family and friends eyeballs start to roll back in their heads!

When you go outside to get the mail and one neighbor (whom you haven't seen since before your surgery) comes outside, waves like normal then says "Hey you're skinnier!! What happened to you?" (at only 36 lbs lost). Then while you're standing in the driveway chatting with him, your across the street neighbor (another you havent seen since before surgery) comes home and you see him looking at you...and again... for the triple take! LOL I have to say standing out in the driveway around "get home thirty" every 30 lbs or so may become my new favorite hobbY!

You know you've been sleeved when your 42nd birthday is coming up and you can't wait to go out for a meal and a few drinks with your friends, and for the 1st time since your 9th birthday you feel fabulous and not fat and old and frumpy and forty but actually excited that it's going to be your birthday!!

I HEART my sleeve!!

Ain't that the truth Disney, my neighbor actually came over yesterday and asked what the hell is going on because I'm shrinking. I laughed and told him I had surgery and then he joked cuz he's unemployed and says he sits at home and plays video games and watches Opera and gains weight and I'm off 4 days a week and here I am losing.

...after you have finished your meal at a restaurant (and there is a full plate left) ..the waitress asks "Was everything okay with your meal?" LOL

[SouthernSleever 236]

That reminds me of when I went to Shoneys with my Mom and kids (My kids love that place...ugh!) and I ordered a steak. It was a little over cooked but I took just 3 bites of it and I was done. The waitress asked if everything was okay, I said yes just fine. Then Mgr came by and asked and I said, "Yes, it's fine. Thank you." She took the plate away and when we got the bill they had taken the steak off my check. I even told the lady at the register that the steak was fine. I'm not going to lie and say it was good, cause it wasn't but I wasn't complaining!
