Today's NSV is not only having to put a belt on to hold up these size 42 jeans but the belt being so long it wraps 1.5 times around my body LOL

As of rite now my list is short(I'm only down 30lb 2 1/2 mo post op), but I know it will get longer. I only get on the scale at my Dr. appointments and try to not use it as a measure of my success.

My once tight jeans falling off

Seeing my boobs when I look down instead of my stomach.lol

Feeling hip bones, collar bones, and ribs

Crossing my legs

And although I don't yet see it I love when people tell me I look different and thinner

Okay,, my list is getting longer but.. a few are: being able to ride my horses again.. ,

shopping non stop with my grandgirls.. they are always on a Marathon in the Mall.

crossing my legs

tying my shoes

shaving my legs

being able to clean my tubs without puffing and huffing.

walking around Walmart or any other store with no problem..

Saw a man the other day who I hadn't seen in a year.. He did not recognize me at first.. then he stopped and said OMG you look GREAT... that was cool.

My daughter tells me she is so proud of me and happy that I am healthier... Love this one...

Not recognizing yourself in a mirror!

Well this past week I made my first air travel since being banded 4 months ago. I didn't feel wedged into the seat and didn't have the fear of having to ask for the extender belt. Overall it was as enjoyable as coach could be on a 5 hour trip despite being in a middle seat.

Oh that's a great one! I bet you were so happy!!

I flew last December and was pleasantly shocked when I fit comfortably, too. I had avoided air travel for probably 18 years because I knew I didn't fit in the seats at all. Now, I am looking for excuses to fly :)

I just went to Macy's and bought two knit t-shirts, size XL. I started in August 2011 wearing 4X or 5X dreaming of buying things at Macy's!

One more- I was buying a wrist band at my Zumba class, when the lady selling it started to warn me that they didn't stretch much and were prone to snapping. Then, she looked at me and said, "Oh, you don't have to worry. You're smaller than me, and your wrists are tiny." I should have hugged her! She made my week!

Ok. Adding on...

I'm stealing my teenage son's clothes.

Yeah I'm a girl. But just this week I needed a hoodie one morning. Grabbed one of mine (3x) and it just swallowed me so I took one of his that he doesn't wear (L) and it's a bit big.

And then we been cleaning out closets and such this week and he brings me a stack of athletic shorts. I've always worn men's athletic shorts (2X) as I find women's are not long enough nor heavy enough. And I fit into some mediums he no longer can wear.

Yay for me as I don't need to go buy any workout shorts now. I was starting to look a bit scary when walking the dogs as all my workout/sweats were many sizes too large.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
