4 1/2 weeks post sleeve surgery.

1. I went with my Mom a few nights ago to see Pirates of Penzance at the 5th Avenue Theatre and pre-op, I always had to squish in the seat and have my hips pinched the entire show...but, this time, I fit comfortably and was able to focus entirely on the show!

2. I bought some smaller jeans at Value Village for "further down the line" last week- Lane Bryant blue size 4 trouser fit jeans. Pre op, at my highest, I wore a size 7 blue petite LB jean (I miss this old LB sizing BTW- they are the only jeans that have ever fit me like a glove - larger hips, smaller waist). I thought today just to try them

on as gauge of where I am...surely they won't fit...and up and over my thighs and butt they slid, and zipped! HOORAY, this is actually working!

3. Probably TMI, but my legs do not fall asleep anymore when I have to sit on the toilet for longer periods of time now! Lol.

4. Feet are getting less wide- shoes are fitting better now!

5. Serving a gooey, chocolate layer cake at a family party and not being tempted to eat a slice. I did have a small shaving of dark chocolate garnish and I was good! Chocolate craving over!

Highest weight- 330

Sw- 289

Current- 268.5

Height 5'5

Yay!!! Good going girlie!

Great NSVs...and at only only 4 1/2 weeks post op...amazing and wonderful.

Great fit on the jeans...:-)

Great job. Start your list of NSV's because there are going to be soooo many that youll forget some

Ha! I just assumed this happened to everyone! One more thing to look forward to!

Congrats! Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to keep a scrapbook of photos, weights and measurements and NSV'S so I can look back on how far I've come when I get to goal. Here's to lots more to come!

Phoenix

you are doing great

we look forward to getting any and all NSV's

keeping a scrapbook, photos et al - is great

my big regret about my WLS is that i didn't keep track of what was going on pre-op and continue. with NSV's and stuff...........

so....you're taking over, where i should have started

great that you will be keeping those important records!!!!!

congrats on losing 20+ lbs since WLS

take care

continued good luck

I've lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks. My clothes are so baggy and I don't bite the insides of my cheeks any more! I'm loving this.

Congratulations!

Dang! I never thought of the cheek biting thing as an issue with weight. Another thing to look forward to! WooHoo!
