Hi everyone,
I had surgery May 7th. I’m currently down about 75lbs.
At the beginning I had major buyers remorse, nothing felt right everything was new (but not in a good way).
I am just now starting to notice changes In myself in pictures.
I have recently been out of town for school. I didn’t need a seat belt extender on the plane. I walked through the airport no problem, I walked to and from university every day, I was able to fit in the seats with no worry. The coolest thing is last night I went whale watching, everyone gets a coat...it fit!
Never before would I have fit in to some sort of standard issue clothing.
I’m not even sure why I’m making this post, except that I’m so excited! It took a while for me to notice things changing, but they finally did. And you are the people who will understand!

Congrats! Sounds like you've collected a whole basket of NSVs!

Good to hear? from you again Allison__sca#

One of my big major NSV was being able to walk into Kohls and buy stuff right off the rack without having to worry if it would fit... Or when I recently decided to try out a pair of size 36 pants... and they fit. They looked horrible, all my fat and saggy skin was visible, but, I haven't been able to button a pair of 36s in more than 15 years... maybe longer!

Such an amazing feeling being able to do "normal" things right!

Congratulations these are always nice uplifting stories to read especially 1 week post op

Congrats! I felt the same way in the beginning, like "what did I do?" but now that I can see the change, it is all worth it. Best of luck in the future!
