You know you lost weight when



Recommended Posts

I had a new one recently -- You know you lost weight when...

your arms fit on the massage table without having to tuck your hands just under your thighs to keep your arms from sliding off the too-narrow table!

You know you lost weight when your underwear falls down past your hips when your at work and try to act like nothing happened while you calmly dismiss yourself to the ladies room to pull them back up.

You realize you have collar bones for the first time in your life. Felt them in the shower the other day and now I randomly reach up to touch them to make sure they're still there.

When a regular sized bath towel wraps around you WITHOUT any gaps! That has to be the best feeling. I realized this last night when I got out of the shower.

I even wrapped it past the gap about 7 or 8 inches. HOW FREAKING AMAZING!!!

I started just over a year ago @ 226. I think the biggest thing for me is having bones that stick out. I'm currently 141 lbs at 5ft 4in. I no longer have a goal weight. I'm content where I am and other than some extra skin (which I hate) I can't complain. My pants have went from a size 18 to a size 4.

You can ride all the rides at Busch Gardens, Disney, and other amusements parks...especially all the roller coasters!

when, without thinking about it, you casually throw a leg over into a crossed legs sitting position while watching tv... and after freaking out with delight about it, find its actually very comfortable and you stay that way for over two hours comfortably and with good blood supply.

Alright I was the last poster but I've achieved a new one. Not funny, just Fabulous:

When you can fit into your old jeans that were 2 (or more?) sizes two small just weeks ago.

That, and when a friend you see every day says "you really are losing weight, you know"

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
