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 can cross my legs under a table in a booth at a restaurant.

My daughter said to me the other day that she noticed I cross my legs all the time! She is 18 and it is something she has never seen me do before.

I find myself doing this all the time now too. I feel like such a lady!

I have some big news to share with you all. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant!!! I thought this would never happen for me and my husband. I need to go talk to my surgeon as I am only shy of five months post-op. This def wasn't planned or even expected so Im a little anxious about how my body is going to handle this pregnancy on top of still healing from the bypass. Still I'm shock abd and extremely excited!

I have more confidence in standing up for imptomptu speaking in my Toastmasters International club, and am so excited at where this will help take me as a speaker. My body doesn't feel like my enemy anymore.

Congratulations! Several people became pregnant in our group as well right after surgery! It should be on the list of things that no one told you about when having this surgery!

Thank you! This def wasn't expected as I thought for the longest time I couldn't get pregnant but when that test came back positive I was /am in complete shock!

It was mentioned in my nurse education class. My program was VERY thorough. :-)

My thighs are not rubbing anymore. All my bra's are too big. My neck is way smaller and no rolls. I can cross my legs and not hurt.

I slipped by necklace over my head without unbuckling it. I saw it was getting loser as I lose. I wear it everyday never take it off. So today was washing hair over tub and it kept getting in way without thinking I just took it off over my head, it shocked me! Then I giggled and put it back on to only take it off again the same way!!!!

I noticed this week that my thighs don't touch anymore. It feels sort of strange to feel space between them. I'm not used to it. :-)

OMG! I just noticed this this morning. I took a shower and put on what my daughter calls my "hoochie" yoga pants. My thighs weren't touching like they normally do! Yay us!

Not only can I cross my legs very comfortably, but I can cross them both ways!!! Never did that before!

I've discovered bones that I didn't know existed. I cross my legs often. My rings are sliding off. I can fasten a bra without having to spin it around. Lol! I can only fit one bra that I outgrew years ago.

I started this journey 6 months ago wearing a size 30 in jeans. I was in Old Navy and thought I would try on their largest size jeans they have in store, which happened to be a 20. I just wanted to see how long it would be before I could get into a pair of them. Not only did they fit, but I needed a size 18! I was jumping up and down in the changing room! Holy smokes! This is the first time I have shopped in the "normal" size stores since I was in my early 20's, and I'm now 38 years old! You couldn't wipe the smile off my face yesterday! Seriously, from a size 30 to a size 18 in 6 months. Unbelieveable
