This is by far my favorite thread here at this forum. Every pre-op member should read through every post. It is a great motivation while going through the whole process. Keep sharing everyone.... on July 23 I will be one step closer to sharing my own NSVs.

Finally wearing a size 8 jeans!!! Went from a 20w to an 8 petite!

You should put on the size 20s just to see how enormous they look now....it's ridiculous!!! (And congrats!)

Aww!!! I'm keeping 1 outfit from highest weight, if I feel down about myself, my loss, etc, I pull emit for inspiration. It's rather amazing to compare.

Getting asked by a friend have I always had dimples!! Of course I have but my face has just been too chubby to see them before.

Saw my brother and sister in law for the first time since January, my surgery was in February....I hadn't realized we hadn't seen each other at all until I saw the looks on their faces....total astonishment. Felt fabulous!

Walking around manhattan during pride for 3 hours w/o stopping while pregnant unlike last year when I needed to find a seat every 15 mins.

Bought an xl sports bra and shirt, a swimming suit two sizes smaller, and had a massage and fit on the table with room to spare!

I was thinking I wish someone had given me this info as I was gaining weight... you won't be able to touch your toes. You will get winded coming up the basement steps. You'll stop being able to fit into a booth. You'll spill over the edges of a chair... etc. I don't know if it would have helped me exercise more or eat less or get help sooner, but geez. I gained it so slowly, I didn't realize how much my life changed for the worse until it started changing for the better again!

I just bought a size 18 pants, from a 26!!!!

Today I had to button my work slacks with a safety pin because they were falling off!

Just put on the dress that my grandmother ordered for me. It is a size 14. And to think in February I was in a size 28. I haven't seen a 14 since middle school.
