Some days, I will look at my pants not believing I am going to be able to get into them. And low and behold, I will slide right in. A miracle.

I had this exact experience this morning... I almost put the pants back in the closet without even trying. It turns out, they're actually a bit too big!

Nearly 2 months and nearly 40 lbs and my bra that was probably too small when I had surgery now fits on the smallest circumference! Thankfully the cups still fit just fine! :):P

I'm pretty early in to this journey but the other day I went to a restaurant with my husband and we sat in a booth. I had a good 5-6 " from me to the table. It was a smaller booth that I know I felt tight in before. Those of you who know what I'm talking about know how cool this felt!

I'm a few days from surgery still, but I have an NSV to share! We were at lunch with family yesterday and a drop of Soup fell onto my jeans. As I was dabbing at it with my napkin my husband leaned over smiling and said "I think that's why ladies usually keep their napkin in their lap", and it occured to me...OMG I have a lap!!! Its not just tummy mashed up against the edge of the table anymore! I was so proud to be able to place my napkin in my new lap. :D

I went to the movies with my hubby and I use to figgit all the time in my seat because I was all uncomfortable. Now I just sit and watch the movie feeling very comfortable. My husband noticed that I wasn't figitting anymore. I feel just that small thing is a big thing to me. Also my size 22 pants have gone down to 18's..very happy!

So Many!! 6 weeks out from surgery and loving life! Walking and working out without pain. Not losing my breath when walking up the stairs. Fitting into a size 18 jeans for the first time in almost ten years! And finally, I'm able to look at the coming months with positivity, knowing that many things I've struggled with are just going to keep getting better and better. Health makes all of the difference in the world as far as quality of life goes I couldn't be happier that I've made the decision to do this. Even on my hardest days, the struggle is nothing like the previous one :D RNY is not an easy thing to do and each day there are challenges I've never had but the experience is priceless.

My weight loss and newly discovered self confidence led me to sign up to be an extra in a commercial that my employer is filming! Would never have dreamed of volunteering for something like this a year ago! Filming is tomorrow, wish me luck!! ????

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
