@Kissifur -- one of my goals is to be able to grab some of those expensive name-brand hoodies I buy my sons and throw them on to walk the dog, etc... I can look like a cool mom in Abercrombie and Hollister and all those places... :) Actually I can probably fit into my 15 yo's now... I'll have to go home and try some on!

You suck in your gut while walking because it feels leaner --- and because you can!

Your every waking thought is NOT about food for a change.

You always know where the tape measure is, since you check measurements every month--and like doing it!

You choose clothes you like instead of buying based on what covers you and is inoffensive.

Your old cheat foods begin to lose their flavor, appeal, and their power!

... you actually smile in pictures. Because you now believe you can.

So why aren't you SMILING??

You can smile in pictures! I used to not smile because I thought it made my cheeks look chubbier.

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!

Where can you buy this?

Where can you buy this?

I get mine at Charming Charlies and you can probably find them at Claires or maybe even Wal Mart. I also saw them on Amazon.com. I have to use them but they come off so easily,

Love these! So I'll go again....got my sassy short haircut, yippee! And now, you know you've had WLS when you take those teeny tiny jars of preserves from hotel breakfasts so you can fill them with chopped almonds and walnuts to keep in your purse. You're obsessed with Protein. You're happy with yourself. Oh, this is from today.......you wake up at 2am and just get up to get work done (freelancer) and you work 16 hours to get totally, incredibly on top of everything. Like month of. September is set and we are not even ther yet! Where is this energy coming from? It is incredible! I don't have to work the rest of the week! Guess I'll exercise. You know you've had WLS when your found time is about moving your body........

When you go into a store try on a shirt and the store associate starts throwing jeans over the door because she thinks they will look cute with the shirt you picked out and looks to be my style she says. I look at the size and said wow, how did you know what size I needed and she says oh well that's what size I am and you look to be the same. You walk out and see she's a tiny little thing..... SMILES for MILES!!!

You realize the food industry is masterful at selling. As is the diet business. You can just ignore i all of it easily

You're happy to see pictures of yourself instead of hiding From the camera for years

        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!!

      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!!
