I was able to ride in a 4D roller coaster simulator ride with my son and the 5 pt harness fit with room to spare! That was right before my surgery but I had lost 50 lbs. Then after surgery, being able to cross my legs.

I'm still pre-surgery but I bought a pair of jeans right before I started this journey on May 11. I put them on this morning and they almost fell off. I'm down 16 pounds, I took them off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. I'm starting to go through my closet to see what I haven't worn in a while that might fit now!

Sounds great! I lost about 40 before my surgery which was last week. I've already started a very large pile of clothes that are too big. Trying to decide between donating and going to a consignment store so I could at least get a few dollars back. And I'm checking out smaller sizes at Goodwill to get me through the next months when everything will be changing quite a bit. I love this idea for a topic NSV!

Hey peeps...

Just wanted to share my NSV for today..

I went shopping today and saw this pretty top.. there was only one size left, i picked it up and looked at it and thought what a shame its too small... i walked around a little more and picked it up again.. and then thought why not, ill try it on anyway since i was going to the change room anyway to try on other tops.

On the way to the change room i was trying to justify to myself to buy it and that maybe one day i would be able to fit into it.. in a few months..

So i get to the change rooms and put it on and guess what! It was way to big... so big in fact that it looked horrible!

So yay to me!.. this sleeve of mine is finally working!

Now my brain just needs to catch up with my body

I am coming into my 13th week...

I stopped weighing myself around 4 weeks ago cause it was driving me nuts... lol

Two that I never get tired of:

1. The way all 36" waist pants just fit (some a little loose). When I wore 44" pants, I'd have to try on a dozen different brands to find one that fit (no, 46's didn't fit well either). Now all just fit!

2. When I eat out I order anything I want knowing my sleeve won't let me eat more than 8 ounces. My favorite is fish and chips. I eat about 6 ounces of fish and 2 ounces of chips - then I'm done and I start passing food to everyone else.

So sweet!

3 weeks post op and yesterday I mailed a large stack of "fat pants" to Thred Up----pants that were too tight a couple of months ago and now are too big!

Wow! I'm also 3 weeks yesterday and I haven't worn many pants bc the band hurts my incisions. The ones I did wear I'm in the same size
