You had to buy a ring snuggie for your wedding band/engagement ring because they fall off your finger.

I will get them resized once I am done losing weight!

you venture into the pool all summer and teach yourself how to swim because your confidence levels are to the roof

staying home ONE DAY gives you cabin fever because you rather be out and about burning all your energy

you daydream about getting a Brazilian butt lift

On another note: I see some eye candy on this thread... Name's a combination of letters & numbers..... Hello, boys!!

You go into the store wearing saggy size 14 jeans, you pull a 12 off the rack to try on and in the dressing room you realize you need a size 10! YES!!!! Last wore a size 10 in my early 20's.

Clothes from the Jr department fit better than the "regular" women's section
You can't shop even at the non-plus-size stores you used to because the clothes there are too big. #IKindaMissChicos
You can do your own pedicures
You're no longer camera shy
When someone calls you tiny lil' thing and you realize they mean YOU!
When you can spend 8 hours painting, doing house work yard work or whatever and actually be able to get up and work out the next day!
When you sit down on something hard and realize you're a little uncomfortable as you don't have the passing you once did back there!

      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!

      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!!
