When your thighs don't rub together when you walk!!!! WOOTWOOTWOOT! I noticed that today and I was like...there is something wrong with my legs. I had to laugh when I realized it was just that my legs weren't rubbing together like they usually do. I don't mind having that wrong with me! =)

When you can wear sandals with buckles because you can reach your ankles.

You can cross your legs.

People call you skinny. What? Me? Thank you.

You get that short sassy haircut previously mentioned (but bc your hair is falling out)

When you can put on clothes you wore a decade ago, but then realize you can't wear them. Not because they don't fit, but because your sense of style has changed so much!

Your sisters are jealous because now you are the "thin one."

You are sad to see your fat clothes go because you really liked that shirt!

By the time you get your sweater/pants back from the dry cleaners they don't even fit anymore!

You put clothes in the donation bin every 2 weeks bc you are shrinking so fast.

You don't snore anymore and you don't need that cpap!

You have the confidence to do daring things. Like consider starting your own business!

You aren't afraid to have your picture taken.

You love the scale now.

Instead of looking in the mirror and thinking bad things, you are like, "wow, I'm doing good!"

food is an afterthought, not something you are obsessed with. Well, maybe a little obsessed with Protein now.

When you go to a restaurant and eat so little it confused the waitress. She asks if everything is okay with your meal and you tell her it was delicious and she looks at you like you didn't even hardly eat anything.

You actually weigh LESS than what your driver's license says.

I haven't read all the above responses, but I'll add "When you see a newly-slim celeb and your first thought is 'I wonder if they had WLS'?"

When you go shopping, and have to keep getting smaller sizes brought to the fitting room... I went shopping today and started out trying on size 12 jeans. Ended up in a pair of size 8's that fit like a glove. Hello vanity sizing!

@@butterfyeffect -- love it! I have a selfie of me in a dressing room in a size 6 that I immediately texted to my daughter!

You know you've had weight loss surgery when you drop 62 pounds in 4 months and look forward to dressing up in Halloween costumes now:

You know you've had WLS when....

...You've listened to people b***h at you your whole life about howfat and unhealthy you are. To now about how concerned they are that you've gotten so skinny and you should be monitored by a Doctor to make sure there's not a problem. :angry: :angry:

sorry I should've posted this in the rant & raves forum....

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
