dede0314 356 Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) So in the cafeteria at work we have chairs with arms and chairs that don't have any arms. Before surgery I would always try to make sure I sat in the chairs with no arms because the chair with arms dug into my thighs basically I had to squeeze in them. Well I am currently comfortably sitting in the chair with arms with no problem. Yay!! Edited February 19, 2016 by dede0314 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted February 19, 2016 @@mngreeneyes -- Your towel NSV is gorgeous, but wasn't one of your reasons for losing weight to embrace indecency? Get it on, girl, parade that towel proudly right down the middle of Fifth Avenue. St. Patrick's Day will be the perfect time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mngreeneyes 674 Posted February 19, 2016 Oh I almost forgot to mention, my other NSV this week. We had big pants day at my WLS support group meeting. I brought a dress that used to fit really well. (I made it for myself so it was literally made for me!) I always got compliments for how nice I looked when I wore it. None of my support group had ever seen me where it however, but I decided to show them the difference of almost 55 lbs. by slipping it on over my clothes. Even before I could look up from arranging it on myself, the whole room gasped! Aside from the fact that it was about 3 inches longer than it used to be, I couldn't figure out what the shock was about. I had to ask my WLS SG friend sitting next to me why everyone gasped and she said, "because it looked like you were wearing a tent!" I can tell I am smaller, but sometimes I dont' think others can necessarily tell. I don't hear it anyway except from my friends and family who know. But the spontaneous surprise from a whole room of people many of whom had never met me before was priceless! pam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tink401 110 Posted February 23, 2016 I can fit in the tub! I took a bath (the first one in years because I couldnt fit good) I couldnt believe how much room I had! It felt so good to be able to lay in the tub and have my whole body under the water!! I didnt want to get Out! And... I love wrapping myself up in a normal sized bath towel instead of a big beach towel!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharon1964 2,530 Posted February 24, 2016 Today I'm wearing jeans for the first time since about 1999. They are a pair of misses size 22 that I had in a box in my garage. A pulled them out of the garage around Christmas I think. At that time I couldn't pull them all the way up. Then a few weeks later, I could pull them all the way up but not button/zip them. Then I could button/zip, but not breathe at the same time. Today I'm wearing them to work (doctor is out in surgery so we have no patients, so it's casual), and they are comfortably buttoned/zipped. I don't care if they are out of date (they are very faded) and kind of look like mom jeans. I'M WEARING SIZE 22 JEANS!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1sttime 42 Posted February 25, 2016 NSV today. I dropped my dry cleaner off and the nice lady working there asked me. "Do you mind if I ask you something?" Me "no, go ahead " Her "how much weight have you lost? You look great." I thanked her and continued with my day. This is a drive thru dry cleaner , all she can see is my face ????

chrys129 208 Posted March 1, 2016 I never posted to this thread before but had to share. Maybe it's silly, but I just caught myself sitting criss cross applesauce/Indian style in my work chair. My work chair has arms and my crossed legs still fit under the desk. Whaaaat? Love my sleeve! Almost 5 months out and 70 lbs down. I catch myself doing things like this all the time now without thinking. Crazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmhueto 167 Posted March 1, 2016 @@chrys129 wow that's awesome! I'm 77lb down and Im noticing things like that too! Like the other day when I put my hands on my hips and I realized I was actually for the first time since I was a little kid... my hand was actual on my hip bone. Not on a fat pad over the bone!!! I was so excited I was having everybody at work feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dub 9,922 Posted March 5, 2016 Great thread.....always makes me grin to read the cool stories in here. Well.....had a NSV myself yesterday. I put on a pair of cargo shorts and shirt and wore 'em out and about on my excursions. The NSV part of this is that I haven't worn shorts outside of the house in years.....years. Oh, and the shirt.....was a size that I didn't think I'd be able to wear until late this coming Summer. It's actually too baggy right now. Fun stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
