Haha , I can NOT wait to have those first, like using a regular bath towel when I get out of the shower instead of having to use a beach towel. And to actually buy a whole outfit for $40 instead of $140. I am sooo excited, for my new life I can't wait. And to be able to run around with my daughter and not get out of breath. How wonderful will that be.

My Easter dress revealed I had a collar bone! Funny how you mentioned that one.

How about the "excuse me" when passing someone by a country MILE.... I don't take up that much space anymore but I allow a few feet. Hahahahah

And how about the first time you could cross your legs comfortably?

I wear scrubs for work and buy them at a clothing outlet nearby. I used to take size 2X, but as I lost weight I had to buy some new, first in large, and next (I thought) in medium. I usually pick out tops and pants and try them on at home. Well, the tops were okay, but the scrub pants still looked baggy. I couldn't possibly be a small! I packed up the pants and went back to the store. This time I picked out one pair of small and tried them on before exchanging all the mediums. Well, people, the small fit! Gosh, darn I haven't been a small since I think age 12 maybe, if ever! What a rush!

I sat very comfortably on an airplane over the Easter holiday -- and realized that even if I'd been stuck in the middle seat, it would have been fine!!

My wife and a RNY last May, I had the band 12/17. Last year just before her surgery we went on a cruise. She had to have a belt extender to secure her seat belt. It was the last time we flew prior to our cruise last week. She sat down (she has lost 115 lbs) and she beamed ear to ear when she could buckle the seat belt. It was a great moment for both of us.

I am in the same boat as you were still wearing size 2X. It must be such a wonderful feeling to be able to fit into a size small pants. Congratulations! I am so looking forward to the day when I could fit into a size "small" pant or size 6 pant. I haven't been able to wear size 6 since high school.
