Yep some non surgery victories :-D Friday I went to the movies with a friend and was able to put both arm rest down and still have plenty or room in my chair :-) Now my niece can hug me and wrap her arms all the way around me :-) oooo... Was able to wear a REALY cute pair or wedges all day :-D Okay I wanna hear some of y'all's now :-D

I am constantly freezing cold.... I hated being hot all the time.... and being originally from North Dakota I am in heaven.

Ditto I'm still over heating most of the time but I sure do like the coldness here in Williston during the winter time. I'm finally starting to freeze in the evenings which is a blessing. I've been waiting for years to say hunny turn the furnace up I'm freezing!

I wrapped a normal towel around my body after my shower today without anything peeking out.

The walk was great! It was cold in the wind - Colt State Park in Bristol RI is on the Water - but the day was so beautiful, as were the views. And occasionally the walkway dipped below the been and then it was warm.

Then I went shopping. I have a new problem but it's one I don't mind. All the clothes I tried on were too big. Even some of the next size down were too big. I'm getting into mediums!

Then I came home and cut the grass, which I enjoy. All in all, it was a good day. :-)

4 month surgeversary today' date=' down 77.5 lbs from my highest weight in this journey. Woot![/quote']

Oops, sorry this is a SV, not an NSV!! I was so excited I posted to the wrong board.

Hey--77.5 lbs down in 4 months is worth shouting in every category! Congrats!

I'm still preop so this is a NSV. LoL. I've been dieting since mid April and have lost 50 lbs.

My 23 yr old daughter hugged me last night and was so excited that both her arms fit around my waist. LOL. It definitely put a smile on my face to see my baby girl so excited for me. : )

I took my daughter to a football game last week and I fit comfortably in the seat. If anything it was a little roomy. I love to go to sporting events but was always worried about spilling over on who was ever forced to sit next to me.

1. Have been dating a wonderful guy for about a month now. Absolutely insane to me! 2. We went on a roadtrip to Washington DC this past weekend because some of his friends were running the marine corps marathon. I was able to walk around the city without complaint. AND it has reaffirmed that my ultimate goal is to run a marathon. The surgery has not made me happier. My decision that I was worth it has made me happier!

Totally off topic...but I scored a $280 cashmere/ wool sweater for $$50. It's a large, and bulky, so I think I'll be able to wear it for a long time with jeggings...oh yeah, I can wear leggings and skinny jeans without scaring people!

I finally fit in my

I am almost 8 months out... Started this at 282 lbs. I am currently 165.6 lbs. I went to New York and co and almost peed my pants because I fit into a size 10.... I have never ever been in a size 10 and I couldn't see my but fitting in them but apparently my but is smaller than I think....I still see myself as the fat girl in a size 22 that's uncomfortable in their body all the time... It's def a change to get use to but I love the new me....
