You know you lost weight when

When men you have known for years start asking you out for dates. My latest two - the produce guy at the grocery store and my insurance guy.

I have known both of these guys for several years.

Did you say yes?

No... I didn't because there's a fireman pursuing me since before my surgery and if and when I decide to go out it will most likely be him first. It's a men in the uniform thing ???? in the meantime I will enjoy getting healthier and enjoy the side effects of looking sexier ????

Update: have started accepting invites for drinks now. First date of course was with the fireman. It was lovely and he has talked about a second date. Also, I had coffee date with another gentleman whom I find very attractive this week. Both these guys have known me since before my surgery. And I had a great time conversing and laughing with both.

Ok so this is probably bad but...my 13 yo son's friends don't refer to me as his "fat" mom but as his "hot" mom. Haha at least that's what my son said. Ok I'm blushing. 65 down and 45 to go. Love my sleeve.

For me it was yesterday my husband took me out shopping for my birthday and I tried on a size 8 pants and it fit me. I did the happy dance can't remember when I was able to do fit in a size 8. Also I just realized that I am a short in pants I was,never able to fit in short size pants I always got regular or long. This was the best bday gift I gave my self doing the sleeve. :-)

Wait, you can get short, sleeved? (Pun intended) I can deal with hair loss, having to buy new clothes, small meals, liquid diets, but I refuse to get shorter.

When men begin to refer to you as "fun sized". ????

When your husband can wrap his arms all around you when he hugs you. That just happened to me for the first time in 15 years! Great moment :-)

When people at work tell you 'You look like you have on your Dad's clothes!!! Not sure about that one!!

When your panties feel a bit loose when you put them on in the morning and during the course of the day, they somehow end up falling down (this is the part where you thank the Lord that your pants prevent them from falling all the way down) Thank goodness I was not wearing a skirt or I may have walked myself right out of those suckers.

When the smallest size at the plus size store is too large for you!

You can bathe the dog while sitting on a small child's step up, without your belly choking you and making you pass out from lack of oxygen!!!

This is an incredibly motivating and joyful thread! Getting sleeved 4/4/16 and really needed to read these happy successes. Thank you all for sharing. Truly inspiring!

In the blink of an eye, this will be you too. Good luck

You worry about what can you wear because nothing in the closet fits anymore. Only this time every article of clothing is too big.
