Mine is my ring size. My wedding rings are a size 5 (I have tiny hands) and they are falling off.

Yes! My bracelets and watch are all too big. And my elbows hurt when I lean on chair armrests or tables.

My 57 yr old male neighbor called and told me that I looked like I had lost a lot of weight (among other things). He only saw me down the driveway, INSIDE MY CAR!!! And he didn't know about the surg! :D It was the first time somebody commented, that didn't know. Yay!!! FINALLY!

Today was dress down day at work. I actually FIT into sz 16 jeans! Super-awesome!!!!!! I feel good!

I recently got a tattoo on my forearm and the tattoo artist kept commenting on how tiny my arms were...

I thought I was crazy for always putting my fingers around the opposite wrist. Its weird and exciting to notice the skinny girl beginning to emerge.

Preop weight 389 current weight 314...that's 75 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

I'm am happy for a lot!

1. Crossing my legs!

2. Wearing clothes I haven't worn in decades!

3. Most of all. I love myself again!!

Yes I have noticed this! I bought this leather coach bracelet about a year ago that never fit and yesterday it did:) I wore heels that use to be so tight tonight. Not only were they loose but walking on four inch heels is soooo much easier minus 80 or so pounds!

I love this. I bought this killer pair of heels a few years back, and they've been collecting dust in my closet ever since. I can't wait until I don't feel like I'm going to break my ankle wearing them!

It will happen for you soon! it is awesome:)

I am officially, comfortably in a size 16!!!! And this morning I dropped to 168 after being stuck around 172 for two whole weeks! Happy, happy, happy! :-)

Today is one month from my surgery date and I'm considering this to be my first nsv and that is I actually weight the same as what is says on my drivers license. May sound silly but I haven't been this weight in years!

I celebrated that accomplishment too! It reads 175 but weighed 200 and now I weigh 135. Haven't changed my license yet.

I just renewed my license last month. Since I was 100 lbs down I actually was proud to put my real weight down. The first time EVER!
