"Side effects" of WLS

There have been some interesting side effects post op.

I care much more about myself.

I've cut my hair to my shoulders (I'm sure I kept it long to "hide").

I've had my nails and toes done.

I've bought new clothes, perfume, jewelry.

I've gone to the dentist and had some cosmetic work done along with a good cleaning.

All of this keeps compounding and helping my self esteem.

I laugh and smile more. I move more. I'm friendlier.

I wasn't expecting any of these side effects!

I went to the Soma bra store today... was a 44DD pre surgery.... I knew I'd lost but heck yeah! I fit a 38 DDD --- the bras were so pretty! It's been awhile since I could find beautiful bras in a normal store!
