You cross your arms a dozen times a day without resting them on top of your boobs just because you CAN.

When you are in the dressing room and realize that the size 8 is too big.

You try on the favorite clothes that you used to wear before owls & they really hang off , or trying a size on at the store that you think will fit you & you have to get a smaller size.

You're on a "planes, trains and automobiles" trip ( a hilarious John candy movie) and the whole trip is better, easier and more fun than any one I went on before WLS ! I

( I'm on an Amtrak as I write this, yesterday was "carry a 50 lb backpack and 2 other things and make a dang quick fast walking connection between 2 trains " !! Hubby said " I can't believe you just did that ! You're a trooper !!" Thank you Lap Band ! )

When you've finally reach a normal BMI and are amazed you've reached it after 28yrs! :-)

At restaurants you get to order just an appetizer and it totally fills you up!

You no longer want to go to a buffet because you can't eat your money's worth!

Your foodie friends are a little irritated when you finish your meal way before them.

You don't have to shop in the plus size stores!

You can easily walk through the mall where the really cute clothes finally fit you!

I could go on and on....

You can't stop looking at/examining your collar bones, wrists, ankles, ribs and hip bones cause you've never actually knew they existed.

Your bras cost less, which is a good thing because your buying them every two months or so

You throw away food with little guilt

Your stomach and thighs look like melting silly putty and you couldn't care less!

Weight loss ads are no longer intriguing, but profoundly annoying.

Cameras and mirrors are now your friends

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
