... a frozen pizza, which used to be a snack for you, can last a whole week in the fridge.

Ain't that the truth!

And for some of my own

  • You don't need to push the car seat all the way back to get in and out of your car.
  • You don't rush to the bedroom to change into sweats after work, normal clothes are comfortable
  • "You want fries with that?" is answered with a resounding 'NO"
  • Punching new holes in your belt is a weekly ritual
  • "Who the hecks hand is that?", then you realize it's YOURS, only skinnier than you remember.
  • Your belly and back don't rub on the shower door when entering and exiting
  • And it maybe TMI but: When you wipe you actually wipe all the way up to the 'exit portal'

You do a double take when seeing yourself in the mirror

Someone you haven't seen in a while doesn't recognize you until you speak

You make frequent trips to the salvation army or goodwill as you know you'll only be in this size for a short period of time

You get weird looks from waiters/waitresses not because you're struggling to fit in the booth but because you tell them you don't need/want a drink with your meal

You eat to live and no longer live to eat

You get invited to something called "The Chocoholic Buffet," and after giving it some thought, you realize you aren't that interested.

:blink:

Amen Brother!

ahhh, I love my sweats still after a full day in the navy blue polyester

  • "You want fries with that?" is answered with a resounding 'NO"

Hahahahaha

  • Punching new holes in your belt is a weekly ritual

I just made my boss order new belts :)

  • "Who the hecks hand is that?", then you realize it's YOURS, only skinnier than you remember.

Hand, thigh, clavicle bones,,, I mean who the heck Knew we had them?

  • Your belly and back don't rub on the shower door when entering and exiting

ahh, no door here

  • And it maybe TMI but: When you wipe you actually wipe all the way up to the 'exit portal'

TMI

I love all of these!!!!

And yup to the "do you want fries with that?" Nope. Anything to drink "nope". Always gets a weird look!

Or in a restaurant when I say that I am ordering nothing... that alwasy gets a weird look too! Why order a meal when I can only eat a few bites... I just nibble off my family's plates and am fine :)

Oh and going through a clothing size in a month. That is WEIRD TO ME!!! But awesome :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

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! 😞
