So for those, say either 4 months out or about 50 lbs. down – I have a suggestion: think of the things you are going to do today or did this morning that you would not have been able to do, or do without discomfort, etc. – and share them!!!!

Let’s give our brave new pre and post sleeve brethren some NSV’s to look forward to! <3

1- wake up early before the alarm feeling well rested and no cpap machine.

2- packing lunch and Snacks for work (10hr days)

3- go to gym during lunch break and enjoy getting in a 30-45 workout in.

4- not worrying about next meal.

There is so much more that I can't even think of, I enjoy being active everyday, my only regret is not during this sooner.

would not have been able to do, or do without discomfort, etc.

these are a few thing i can think of

not today, but...........

recently flew to GA to visit grand-kids

not only did i not have to wear the "ever popular" seat belt extender

i easily sat between 2 other people, no prob, with room to spare

there was so much room on each side of me

they must be making the seats wider

almost fell backwards in the seat at the movies

i wasn't expecting the seat to have "grown"

for the first time in "umteen" years i bought/ wore a beautiful one piece bathing suit

i am now "putting myself" out there in public and volunteering

i "bravely" walked down the street and met/greeedt/introduced myself to a new neighbor

went to a neighorhood/block party/barbecue

no longer have to deal with taking diabetes meds/insulin - CPAP - high blood pressure meds

my BIG, most important unexpected surprise

i now take half dosage of my epilepsy meds!!!

look at a full length mirror in Kohl's and not want to cry/die!!!

not feeling ashamed of myself in grocery store et al

thinking people looking at me thinking "oh my gosh look at her"

now anyone looks at me and says "hmmmm she is cute as a button!!"

I am much more confident!!

i weigh 130 lbs - down from my DOS weight of 235 lbs!!!

i am now one very "proudgrammy!!"

happy i am healthier

happy to be alive

Forgot to add that since I lost a lot of weight that I'm now getting involved in more active social events, joined an adult kickball league, played for the first time last night and it was a blast also plan on joining the men's basketball league even though I suck at basketball.

I've been flirting. Me! I never used to do that. I suck at it, but I'm having fun.

Woke up...put on shorts, no shirt, ear buds - ran 2 miles on treadmill.

My energy level in the mornings is amazing. Love it.
