My suregery date was MArch 20, 2014. About two weeks after surgery my mother in law had given me several outfits that were 1x in size. Day of surgery I was a 3x. In the last couple of days I have been able to comfortably fit into these 1x clothes and I almost cried. I did dance.

thats awesomeee!!! congrats on one of many NSVs to come!!

Congrats!! I find NSV's more rewarding than a number on the scale.

it truly is so amazing to go into the closet and fit into everything. and most things are big. I swore I would wear what I already had through at least 4 seasons. so far I have had clothes to fit into from needing a 4x to now 1x or even large tops. but if summer doesn't finally rear its beautiful warm days I may have to buy something. I am sitting here in sweats to big but all I have. but I do have several pairs of shorts and sundresses just waiting in the closet. come on summer. I am loving nsv much more than the scale.

Nice mother-in-law! You'd better start thinking about XLs cause that's where you're headed next. I was wearing 2x tops six months ago and now I'm sitting here in a large cotton long-sleeved v-neck I bought on sale, so exciting! More like a Miracle.

Way to go! That's awesome.

I remember when I had the surgery, seeing on the lapband site forums, how it was a good idea to buy clothes at thrift stores, while you're losing. It saves a ton of money on clothes that you won't wear for very long. I have a couple of good shops that I go to and I still go to them, because I kindof got hooked on them. Now, since I'm losing again, I'll need to start finding some smaller sizes soon.

Good luck to you.
