Im so spoiled, I dont even register some of the changes when they happen. You guys all remind me how amazing this journey is, thanks. I have a couple:

My skin is GREAT, even and blemish free! (brown girls know how ridiculously unheard of that is) I am complimented on it almost daily.

My teeth look better in a slimmer face. They are jacked but look pretty straight. Weird but true.

Proofs in the pic. No make-up except eyeliner and mascara.

I wore a button-down shirt to work, and not a single button came undone on its own!

I had a great NSV this morning, I was getting ready for work and decided that my pants are getting very baggy so I tried on a pair of pants I haven't been able to fit into in about a year and they fit great, I am so happy cuz they were pretty pricey, I am so happy I get to enjoy them now. I also enjoy my tummy not rubbing up again the stearing wheel when I drive :(

I can actually wear a seat belt in other people's cars without feeling like I am going to die of strangulation. lol

That's terrible. I mean, that's awesome that you look so good woman are threatened, but sucks for you and your friend because unless she can get over it, he's going to have to make a decision on who's more important. :wub:

Well him and I did have a "thing" during the beginning of his relationship with her...3 years ago, and we've all said our sorries, etc. and moved past it. But when I became REALLY fat (right after our lil affair) she didn't care that we stayed friends but now I lost weight and yea... But it's stupid because I've been with my bf now for 2.5 years so...I just don't want to lose a friend out of the deal...But he's basically still talking to me so it's no big deal and they live 3 hours away in my hometown so I don't have to deal with it a lot but...weird NSV huh?

--In my defense back then, half of the affair I didn't even know they were going out, and the other half I did he constantly made it sound like he was going to break up with her. Soooo he's a douche but as a friend he's a good guy...

blackcherry what a sucky nsv! im sorry to hear that.

my nsv this weekend was that 3 of my friends picked me up! i asked the first one bc hes big and strong, but when he picked me up like it was a piece of cake, everyone else started saying that they could easily pick me up too! so that was something i had always wanted to do!

also, we went to float the river unexpectedly so i didn't have a bathing suit with me. not only was i able to borrow a bikini from a friend who i have always thought of as normal-sized, but it was even a little big! i still wore a cover up, but it felt good to be normal and fit in with the group, and not to be embarrassed in my suit. there were a bunch more nsvs this weekend but these were the good ones!

-A pair of "way too tight" 20 dress pants are officially too big. I got about 3-4 wks of wear out of them and now they need to go or be altered.

-Men are looking....hmmmm!

-My skin is fabulous as well, that's nice!

-No longer crave or even think about sodas, I never thought this would happen!

-I don't FEEL like the fat girl. I feel like the thin girl striving to show it and break out, and just be noticed. In fact, sometimes I think I'm even "seeing" myself smaller than i am. But I take pics often to bring me back down, haha!

-Bought blouses on sale at old navy in XL. figured they'd fit later if not now, they all fit perfectly!!!

Oh and almost forgot, I bought my first dress in probably 10 years. It's an XL from targer, purple comes just to my knees. I'm in love! I've been looking all over for more dresses as soon as I can blow the dough! haha!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
