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

Very pretty!!

I have been wearing a 16. I wore some jeans that I bought a few weeks ago for the first time and were told they were too big. I have 3 pairs of long pants and a few capris but it is getting too cold to have those pass at work. I went to buy new pants. The 14s fit. I bought the 12s. I figure that by the time the 16s are way too big....the 12 will fit.

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....

You look fantastic i am 14 months out and still see myself as the 300 lb fat guy i once was it takes a long time to wrap you brain around the new you

Surgery date 1/08/13 Sw 234 Cw 155 Out with the OLD!! And in with the NEW!!!!

My boss and I were friends before and she just gave me like 10 pairs of pants size 14. I haven't fit in a 14 in a real long time.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but I don't require as much sleep as I did before surgery. I used to need between 9-10 hours a night. But now 9 months post op, I'm good with 7-8 hours a night. An unexpected bonus.

I made it thru halloween without one piece of candy. Yay me!!

The last kid that came to the house got asked a math question. When he got it right I dumped the rest of the bowl of candy into his bag as reward. Win win because I buy good candy and couldn't have miniature snickers and kit kats in the house.

Great idea! I bet he was surprised... and eager to study now that he knows it DOES pay off! Lol

Every year it is a different question too. I love it when it is a group of kids and the first one doesn't get it right.

Today: bought size 18 jeans, size xl sweatpants from the regular side, and last night I took a bath for the first time in forever. I measured my hips and I've lost 20 inches.
