I had surgery on 1/31/2012. I have had a dream recovery. I've lost 45lbs so far (from my highest weight).

I've a few NSVs along the way already... not the least of which was having all of my work clothes, which were fairly expensive, taken in because they were falling off.

But, my NSV for today is a bigger deal to me because I've NEVER in my life been able to do it before. Not only can I cross my legs comfortably, BUT I can do it while sitting at my desk working. I can't believe my thighs are finally small enough to cross my legs under my desk and not get wedged in!!!

I LOVE the sleeved life!

I totally just walked past a full length glass door and thought...wow...I really do look smaller...and I actually have the desire to do my hair in the mornings and put on makeup. I work for a small company so looking good hasn't always been a top priority for me...but suddenly as my body changes...I actually want to look good...LOVE MY SLEEVE! Best thing I ever did for myself!

I feel the same way BrandiMarie!! I actually get up a little earlier in the morning to make myself up and make sure my hair looks good. It's so awesome to feel this way isn't it?

Congrats on your NSV!!!

I loved being able to comfortably cross my legs again Now, pretty much wherever I am I am sitting "criss cross applesauce" (as my little sis would say). At the dining room table, in a booth, on the couch... my legs are always crossed and tucked under me lol.

You are doing great! Thanks for sharing!

Isn't it great?! Congrats on your success so far. I have a huge pile of clothes to go into the donation bin but I also have a good assortment back down to size 14 so I'll be good for quite a while. I'm now the same size (different shape due to baby in between) that I was 7+ years ago and I could have never done this on my own in three years let alone three months! My son, lasik surgery and this are the best things I've done for myself in my life!

I was sleeved and my most recent little thing to celebrate was new unieds as they are falling off me when I walk I have lost 5 inches off my hips. I am 3 weeks out and 30lbs down.

Congrats!!!!

Congrats!! You guys are doing great!!!
