Realizing that knee high boots do/will fit me this fall and receiving multiple compliments on my size M dress. My dad pointed out when I kept getting them that no one ever commented on my clothes pre op.

I'm a teacher and for the past 2 years I couldn't cross my legs under the lunch table. I did it the other day without even realizing it for a minute...but when I did realize it I wanted to stand up and shout it to my class!'

I got a notification from paperback swap that one of the diet books on my wish list was available. Guess I don't need that now!!

I can so relate to this! Only after surgery did I realize how much of my time was previously spent in learning about the best diets.

I guess I now spend that time on VST instead :)

I went shopping this weekend and decided to see what the Loft has available. I have never been able to buy anything in that store because they only go up to a size 16.

Well guess what? I finally fit into their clothes. I bought a dress for work (size Large) and a sweater jacket ( size Large). Yahoo!!!!

At my doctor's appointment this morning, a normal size blood pressure cuff fit around my upper arm! Yippee!

My thrilling NSV (which demonstrates how lame I am!) is using the dryer. I hadn't ever used it for fear that my clothes would shrink.

That is funny. I still hang all of my clothes up besides jeans and slacks.

Buying a pair of size 12 jeans and a large dress from old navy. I use to be a 22. Also I started the couch to 5k program and today I completed week 4. I tried a new spot for running and most of it was uphill and I did it! Felt amazing afterwards!!!!! I am 8 weeks out and down 44.5 pounds.

I went jogging yesterday for the first time in awhile and I suprised myself at how much my stamina has increased since losing weight. I was able to push myself and go longer than before!

I was doing my laundry last night and noticed 2 things:

1. All of my exercise clothes were sweaty which is why I was doing laundry in the middle of the week

2. I looked in the basket and thought, "whose clothes are these?" They seemed so small, so not my clothes! But they were my clothes, and I can really wear them!

This is a bit silly, but I realized that I now go into a normal sized bathroom stall without turning sideways or fighting to get the door closed.

      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!!
