I was sleeved 8/22 and while still in the hospital I went on thredUp and bought 4 pairs of size 8 jeans. I only paid $17 and I'm currently a size 16 - but I will fit into those jeans!

I went to the theatre today which is something I love but used to dread cos those seats are so small! Usually my big bum means my knees are shoved into the back of the seat in front of me when I sit - not today! My first tangible moment of weigh-loss appreciation. It was wonderful!

I threw a huge bag today full of baggy clothes that are too big for me! :)

I was also shocked that I was able to fit perfectly in a size 16 jeans! :)

I'm so proud of myself of doing the surgery abroad by myself while also working on my master's dissertation! :)

I'm also proud that I still didn't give in all the terrible chocolate and junk food temptations! :)

Today I was faced with immense pressure. Not only was Haagen-dazs half-price but so was my absolute favourite ice-cream, Mackies. A large 2litre tub for £2 - I would have been in ice cream heaven and was positively dribbling and drooling BUT I resisted, came home and had some strawberries. I'm really pleased with myself.

There's a popular boutique store near the campus where I teach that (controversially) only carries small sizes. It mainly appeals to teens, but in the window I saw a gorgeous, age-appropriate dress and decided to try it on. It fit perfectly. AND as a bonus the girl ringing me up assumed I was a college student and was going to give me the student discount. Haha. That was a blissful feeling for many reasons.

@@RosieCheeks I love salt & vinegar chips! This appeared on my FB feed today - I thought it looked good for when you might have that S&V chips craving.

Sorry to crash the UK thread (again!). :-)

That's interesting, might give these a try. We call Zuccini an 'aubergine'.

By the way, feel free to 'gatecrash'; 'the more, the merrier' as we say here in Blighty.

I bet you were walking on air, well done.

On Sunday my friend and I went to Cheshire Oaks, a large retail outlet park, and I managed to walk all the way round, in and out of most shops and I didn't get short of breath once, nor did I have to sit down; my friend couldn't believe it. I haven't used my inhaler for over a month and feel almost 'normal'. I've gone down from a size 26/28 to a size 16. My Karen Millen coat is still on target to be worn this winter.

On Saturday I walked to my friend's house, wait for it.... drum roll...... 1.5 miles away!!!!!! I didn't even die on the way! I've not walked that much since about 1975.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
