I am not sure that this is a victory, but it's something. Half way through my day Sunday, I realized my wedding ring wasn't on my hand... Started panicking because I couldn't find it anywhere. I knew it was getting loose, but it had never just fell off. Turns out it fell off in bed. So my fingers are officially smaller than they have been in like 8 years.

I used to sleep on my side before the surgery, but since the surgery every once in a while I sleep on my back and now sleep with my mouth open & snore which I haven't done since I was a kid! Getting annoyed with waking up to a dry mouth and I know it's not good health wise; anyone else experience this weird phenomenon? Or is it just me? lol

Thank you for the kind words, generally, I feel pretty good. It's kind of a pain to be hungry and want to eat like I used to, then take 3 bites and be so full that I have to have a spit cup or I'll puke, lol.. As far as pain or anything like that, I don't have any and I feel like normal.

Sept 7th was my gastric sleeve date. Still getting use to some things. Hope everyone is doing well.

Just got my surgery date...10/2. It will be 15 and a half months since my first consultation. I'm so psyched.

Hey! My surgery is 10/2! Excited and nervous!

I love the light hearted idea of the thread, and think it encapsulates some of the interesting experiences we share going through this process…. my good problems- Ive been able to dress myself with all the clothes i grew out of on the way up, with a few budget items added in— until about now. If I lose this final 10-15 lbs I will officially have nothing on reserve. On one hand I love this problem- I get to SHOP! But on the other, I HAVE to shop. For everything- underwear, pajamas, and even to outerwear. It is going to be expensive! But also, it’s scary because Ive never been this size, and what If I can’t maintain it? Yikes, it does a number on your brain. Am I really this size? Will I be able to keep it? Lots of catching up to do on what i think I look like and what I do look like.

My biggest "good problem" is that I've become a clothes horse. I shop all the time, and I've spent so much money on clothes. I have a lot more confidence, so I spend too much time (and money) socializing. And I take an absurd amount of selfies.

Mr Hill, you have no ass. 😂😂😂

Today I took out my size 12 jeans and some of them fit. I am officially out of plus size and Into NORMAL sizes. Woo hoo!!
