I had a NSV today. Wore a long dress with no pantyhose. No chubrub. Wahoo!!

Next NSV...went for a cleaning at the dentist and the hygienist was surprised I had all my teeth considering my size. Not sure what one has to do with the other but she just assumed I was small, and always that way. I like that..but it does make me feel like a fake. Gotta mention that to my therapist.

Haha! No chub rub! I love it! Congrats! I was pretty happy when I realized my thighs no longer rub together when I walk! And the added bonus, I can wear shorts now without them bunching up in my crotch since I no longer have the chub rub going on!

Great nsv's ! No chubrub !!? Denist compliment (, strange compliment ) but take It ! Good for you ! Funny, we both had an nsv while wearing a long dress the other day. Mine was my half slip ( that used to be tight ) literally fell off me ! Thankfully I was at home and not out in public, but all of a sudden I looked down and it was on the floor ! And by the way, you are definitely NOT a fake !! You're as real as one can get , and we are all happy you're on this forum !!!

Lol ???? I can't wait until my chubrub is gone. Only someone who has delta with their weight would truly understand the significance of that.

Walker Liz,

This is the new you. ????Years out, people think you have been relatively the same size... They don't know, and I, for one, mostly don't enlighten them. Do any of you tell when someone assumes you've been in the "normal" size all along??

It might also be the amount if time you've enjoyed the same size?

Do tell.

You know what Julie...it depends. If it's someone I am getting to know and feel it's important for some reason, I'll tell. If it's someone who is peripheral in my life, likely not. I usually find that if I say anything about being formerly obese, it's because that person has possibly spoken about having joint issues or maybe even mentioned WLS. That's when I'll tell in order to let someone know that you can take charge of your health issues depending on what they are..and make changes that assist in having a more normal life.

      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!!
