I am only 1 1/2 wks post op and down almost 16 lbs since surgery. But got in my car today and had to move the seat up 1 notch cuz felt like my upper body was a mile from the strafing wheel and when I looked down I could see the crutch of my jeans instead of my belly!!!

Most of my summer shoes, sandals and slip ons, are too wide now. I am walking out of them. Will have to buy new ones.

My shoes are getting too big as well but now I can put them on now without feeling like I am suffocating. I can stand and walk longer without so much lower back pain.

Congrats!!! love moments like this!!! here is to many many more!!!

Remember these when the scale is not moving...the NSVs are very important!!!

Speaking of shoes, my sandals are Birkies because I need the support, fortunately most of them have a buckle on them so I am able to tighten them up...

I have to wear my wedding rings on my middle finger now... silly little things that make us smile... When I'm typing, I can look down at my hand and be reminded of what that middle finger ring thing really means

I use to enjoy my Wii Balance board a lot a few years ago, then I gained almost 50lbs and exceeded the weight capacity. This week I finally made it back under the limit. Just barely under, but I'm there.

I can do the virtual hula-hoop once again. LOL

Be well…

I know that made you feel good. because I know .Just keep up the good work.

Just took my first flight after dropping 80 lbs. Last time I flew, I could not buckle my seat belt and was way too embarrassed to ask for an extension.... This time, I had about 6" of slack! Yay! Still a long way to go but that made me really happy!!!

LBD congrats! I have never been in a plane but this is something many people talk about so I can only imagine your happiness!!

*does a little happy dance for you*
