Your tights are sagging?! Yup! Never thought my tights would get loose on me, but there's extra loose fabric right under my butt and belly. The best part is, they didn't fit before surgery and they're a 1x!

I can relate to so so many of these. One of my favorites is, "oh my God, who knew you had such a long neck!?" LOL

When I can get out of my car and step between the car and the garage wall (a small space for two cars) and don't get my clothes dirty from squeezing against the car!

You can wear a pair of jeans with a designer's name label over the back pocket rather than labels that say "Pass" and "Don't Pass" over the back pockets.

I know a lot of these are repeats, but mine are:

Realizing my driver's license weight is actually higher than my real weight now.

Running upstairs and not gasping for breath.

Having to buy all new bras and panties because I'm swimming in them.

Feeling ribs, collarbones and hipbones.

Running into my husband's ex-wife, who used to taunt me about my weight, and seeing her eyes get really big. I'm thinner than she is now. That has to be the best one!! LOL

When the jeans you haven't worn in about a year fit perfect again, and you are actually wearing jeans ( I started wearing leggings after my size 16 jeans no longer fit, and I refused to buy clothes until I lost weight)

You grab your typical XXL or XL shirt and then end up buying a plain old L size shirt at Old Navy! Let the shopping begin! Watch out Mediums, I'm coming for you next!

      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...

      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?

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
