Besides physical change of weight loss.... How have you changed since you started this journey?

I am 5 weeks post op and I have lost 36 pounds!! I have more energy, and I feel more confident in some things but less in others! I still want to shop in bigger clothes!! When I’m in the large sizes I expect someone to tap me on the shoulder and say could you please move over to the plus size isle and I find myself looking around more than looking at the clothes!! I still have Head hunger and I get mad with myself!! Also I’m not as confident in my marriage, because I know my husband is attracted to bigger women!! But I had to get healthy for me!!!

He might find that he loves the new you, its not all about physical appearance. He may discover that your energy levels are irresistible.

18 months out and feel so good. I retired in September 2017 so I take care of my grandson. My daughter and husband got orders to Japan so we moved here. I was walking about 8-10 miles a day which I could barely walk 1 mile before. Now its too hot so doing Zumba daily. Still head for the plus sizes when I go shopping, feels so good that I can buy a medium. I did the surgery not to get skinny but to get healthy which I am now. I now eat lots of fresh veggies and fresh fish. Lovin life so much now! So glad I did it.

8-10 miles a day is incredible! I think I'll always gravitate towards the plus sizes too! I don't know what I'll do when I have to adventure into the regular women's section. I'm not far away in tops. Next stop is an XL.
