Way to go @brightfaith! You sound like you are setting yourself up for great success. I hope your journey goes well.

I'm 16 months out but remember trying to slog through those pre-op appointments. Hang in there. You got this.

Thank you so much for the encouragement! It really means a lot!

Congrats and you'll do great!!!

Thank you, Tealael! I hope so!

Today I went to put on a bra that was tight when I went in for surgery, and it was too big to put on!

I’m a month post-op and I needed that boost so much! All my back fat is going. I look in the mirror and I’m still feeling really far from my goal, but trying on the bra and seeing that huge difference was the boost I needed to know I’m definitely on track. I just wish a stranger would notice soon and say something.

Keep at it, the scale doesn’t always reflect how much your losing. I still feel swollen in my stomach - is that possible 5 weeks post-op?

Nice!!!

did you make it to your destination safely?

I did thank you! Made it home Friday night just in time to give blood at the hospital to finish my pre-op screening. Today is the day!! Eek!

All the tops I was trying on looked weird on me and I was feeling discouraged (I hate shopping). I tried on a cute one I really liked on the hanger and thought it was boxy on me and a little slouchy in the waist. I complained to my friend, who took a look at me and said "Well duh, it's way too big." Turns out I am in a size small now and I had no idea. The small fit me perfectly and I am kind of excited to shop now!

I am able to paint my toenails with out bending into uncomfortable positions..

I'm looking forward to wiping my tushie without going into contortions. My arms are long but I'm not Plasticwoman.
