What were some surprising/unexpected changes you experienced after being sleeved?

All of my shoes are too big at 7wks post op. From 7.5 women to 6.5 that quick. When I was under a size 10 in the past, I wore 5.5-6 women. Waiting on more changes...lol

Oh...im just 5'1.

Thought about this. I think one of the most surprising NSV is I do not sweat anymore. I used to be such a profuse sweater and it was embarrassing when it left sweat circles in my shirt. Now I have to be really working out hard to sweat. Cardio machines do not cause sweat. Running doesn't even cause sweating unless it is sprinting.

I can unload a cart full of junk food onto the conveyer belt without self consciously telling the cashier about the sleepover that is going on that night at my house.

I can tell the dressing room attendant I need a different size without shame in either direction.

I can nibble on a cookie in a room full of moms I've just met without feeling like the fat lady in the room.

I no longer look around to see if (wait, not if, THAT!) I *am* the fat mom in the room.

I can wear my yoga pants in public because its much more plausible that I actually wear them to work out.

I no longer care if/when/where we are having lunch out.

Not only can I wear colors, but I can wear patterns! Even on my ass!

...

I could go on forever!

But Fiddle, that's because you are Superman, I've read lots of your posts!

Oh, and I have also lost in the shoe department, from a 6.5 wide to a 6 regular, hope they don't go any smaller!
