I had surgery on 11/29 and I’m trying to not focus too much on the numbers on the scale or on my clothes.

My non scale victories since 11/29

Had to have a spacer put on my wedding ring

I’m wearing a coat I haven’t worn in 2 yrs

I got rid of my pre-surgery work uniforms

I’ve cleaned my closet twice already

What are your non scale victories?!

2) I completely forgot about wearing anything on my thighs, so when I hit the street and felt how muggy it was my heart sank, imagining friction burns on my inner thighs by day’s end. But after 2 miles of walking? NOTHING. even with the extra skin, NO CHAFING AT ALL.

Cheers to Thigh Gaps!

The good news is:

My boobs have shrunk so much that I can go bra-less quite comfortably.

@sideeye Wooohooo! Congrats on NoMOChafing!

I am pumped! I completed my first 5K race yesterday. I ran the whole course and felt great! I was so emotional when I crossed the finish line. I've always wanted to run but I was hindered by my weight. Along with hip, knee and foot pain. WLS is the best thing that has happened to me. My ultimate goal is to run a marathon. I can't wait!?

I had two pairs of jeggings I ordered online and when they arrived were way too tight so I hung them at the back of the closet. My regularly worn jeggings have become increasingly loose so I pulled the new jeggings out and they fit perfectly.

Congratulations! What a great accomplishment!

I wore a wrap dress today, and two things were notable:

1) the wrap now fits me so completely that I don’t have to pin the bodice and I also don’t have to worry about gusts of wind - if the first panel flies up, the second one wraps all the way to my hip and has me covered

2) I completely forgot about wearing anything on my thighs, so when I hit the street and felt how muggy it was my heart sank, imagining friction burns on my inner thighs by day’s end. But after 2 miles of walking? NOTHING. even with the extra skin, NO CHAFING AT ALL.

The lack of chafing is one of my favorite parts of having lost all this weight. This is my first summer with thighs that graze instead of constantly rubbing, and it's been incredible - no more heat rash, no more discomfort from sweat.

Yes! I don't have a thigh gap, but my thighs no longer rub.

What am I going to do with all the Body Glide I own now? ?

I'm 10 months post surgery and had been getting frustrated with how slow the progress on the scale had been lately. My husband's employer sends us to Cedar Point every summer (which was not exactly the happiest place for me to be pre-surgery). This year I knew would be better as I have lost over 90 lbs but I was ecstatic to find out I could comfortably fit into the Calvin Klein Jean's my daughter bought me in January. So this past Saturday, I felt like a kid, wore my size 10s and rode every ride we could without having to take the walk of shame off a single one! We had so much fun my husband bought us season passes for next year! I cant thank this community enough for being there to support me and encourage me. Without that, I am sure I would never have made it this far.

Hot Girl Summer isnt over yet ?

I am being approached/hit on/pursued constantly these last few months but I'm dodging them left and right

The vacation boo vacation has commenced. We have left the house briefly, mainly for food, over the last 2 days. I am using him as a cheat food vehicle - he orders a chocolate shake, I get some of it. We order a sub and he eats 4/5ths. He is a willing participant in this scheme.

This is excellent.

Ok, I shared this link on the OOTD thread, but there is an NSV here too...

The boots I'm wearing are not only regular calf width boots, but for the FIRST TIME EVER, I was able to easily zip boots over jeans!

AND still have room to spare to put on some nice warm knee high socks when it gets colder!
