I want to know what everyone's best feeling in the world is post op no matter when you had the surgery.

I am 6 weeks post op, down 33 pounds, the best feeling in the world for me at this moment is giving away my fat clothes!!!

I'm almost 6 months postop and I'm about to take a year-long RV tour around the country, which would've been impossible a year ago. I think that is going to be my next best feeling. My most recent best feeling was buzzing one side of my head because I lost so much weight and my face that I can pull it off! One before that, shaking my hips.

My best feeling is that finally I can eat only a small amount of food and not overstock my stomach. If I do that now I know i'll get sick. The best feeling ever eating just a small amount and feeling like I ate 2 plates of food at a buffet

Being able to jog on a treadmill. I haven't been able to actually run/jog in so long.

Well I haven't reached there yet. I'm only 1 week post-op. But I guess the best feeling (which is actually the reason I got this surgery done in the first place) would be to achieve a healthy pregnancy. I have PCOS and 1 child needing bone marrow transplant from a matched sibling donor (now before anyone says anything we would really want another baby no matter what)

Second reason would be that I really want to be able to wear whatever I can and still look good in it.

I'm only 7 days out and the best feeling I've had so far, was waking up! Lolol It all happened so quickly and I don't remember a thing! Now I'm just looking forward to the next accomplishment!

I am 1 week post-op RNY surgery today and my best feeling so far is my confidence in myself to be able to follow my program and learning my new healthier lifestyle.

11 months post op -

Best feeling yet was going to a regular-sized department in the department store, trying on some pants and needing a smaller size.

Ended up buying them and nearly floated out of the store!!!

I'm one month post op and the best feeling is not being winded from my big stomach after going up a flight of stairs, and also being able to trim my own toenails!

So many "bests', but I think the best "best" is actually jogging for 3.5 miles without stopping. I NEVER would have or could have done that 7 months ago. It's crazy.

OH! Also, wearing mediums. SERIOUSLY??? never thought that would EVER happen again.

Agree there are so very many. I think my 2 favorites are - 1) the ability to sit on the floor and then able to stand up so easily without getting on all fours and making ridiculous grunting noises getting up and 2) Went to a park recently with the nephews and I got in a swing. I smiled from ear to ear. I have no idea how long it has been since my big ol' bootie was able to actually fit in a swing. It was quite freeing to swing like a little kid again!

6 months post-op and my favorite best is buying clothes anywhere and everywhere except the plus-sized stores! I LOVE clothes and I would suffer SO much every time I had to buy clothes, especially for special occasions.

Gardening again!!! The best of the best at this moment. There will be others as time and days go by, but right now my front garden looks AMAZING! I hauled all the dirt, mulch, rocks, and god knows HOW many pots and flats of flowers myself!!!

@@LisaMergs - Congrats! I am looking forward (well sort of) to hauling mulch myself this year. I did it a few years ago and seriously nearly passed out many times. And had to do it over several days (it was about 50 bags). Hoping it will be much easier this time around! Mowing the lawn certainly is!

I'm one week post op and my happy moment is that I haven't had the first back pain since surgery despite not having any anti-inflammatories that I was taking daily before surgery!!
