DH and I went to eat at a restaurant the other night and I went to use the restroom while he was seated. When I came out he was in a booth. YES, I SAID A BOOTH!!!! Well, I was looking at MY side of the booth, (did I mention that it was a booth???) and it didn't look very big to me. I looked at DH's side and thought his looked A LOT BIGGER. So, I decided to scoot the table as I sat down to move it to his side more, but, BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, when I sat down, I FIT!!! I couldn't even believe it!!! I never thought I would ever be sitting in a booth and not have my big fat enourmous stomach smooshed against the table so tight that I could not breathe. BUT, there is another but, there was about 5 inches or more between me and the table...WHAT???? with room to spare...I got tears in my eyes and so did DH...what a great great feeling. I was so elated the rest of the night and when I type about it now, I am getting that same feeling. :whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:Can't wait for the other NSV's that are coming my way very soon!!!

I had the same feeling a few weeks ago in a booth. Then it got better, I went to use the bathroom and I could fit in a regular stall without the door hitting me in the chest or stomach. I just opened the door like a normal person. I usually used the handicap stall, but someone was in there...I was so happy!

Thank you all for the nice words. I also love to read about the nsv's. I think they are better than the scale moving sometimes!!!!

Congratulations!! I think you've had a victory for all of us. Funny how we automatically look for those little things, can I sit here, can I fit here, etc.

Way to go.

I remember the first time that a booth was not scary for me and my boobs were not going to be on the table, it was wonderful, now I ask for a booth!! I would do a Toyota jump (It's a great feeling) but uh no, not yet,lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
