AutumnPunkin 313 Posted May 8, 2013 The seat belt doesn't strangle me and cut off blood circulation when I wear it anymore! I can comfortably fit on the back of my husbands motorcycle! Omg!! I cannot wait for that to happen. I always wonder if I get in a car accident if I am going to die due to the cord around my throat.

FromFlabToFab 268 Posted May 8, 2013 Many people have commented on how pretty my hair is and how good it looks...which is crazy since it hasn't been colored or trimmed in 4 months and has been falling out for 3 months. Also met some new friends out the other night and as time went by we started talking about our old fat pictures, I told them about my VSG and showed them some preop pictures and their jaws hit the floor and one of them said the words I'll never forget..."I thought you were always skinny". It's so different being called "skinny" by people who have always known you to be obese, but for someone who has never seen you before now to refer to you as skinny is a whole different thing 1 coloradogrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erp 2,016 Posted May 8, 2013 Love all the NSV everyone! A few of mine: not spilling over onto the person next to me on the airplane, lost a chin (still have a gobbler neck though), can wear high heels all day, down to a 14w was a 20 prior to surgery. 3 coloradogrl, OneWritersSoul and MrsG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amie 90 Posted May 8, 2013 Went on my first airplane post op on Saturday and was able to let my wife have the window seat and I took the middle one. I still encroached on her space a little but she was just happy she didn't have to say in the middle. 2 MrsG and OneWritersSoul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chocolatetye 44 Posted May 9, 2013 I've been driving the same car since 2005 and I have never been able to push the gas button without opening the door, due to my large abdomen getting in the way. I was finally able to push the gas button without opening the car door last week. It's funny because I didn't even realize that I had done it until I realized that my door was still locked. 4 MrsG, coloradogrl, FeeIsMe2 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desert19 93 Posted May 9, 2013 I put a bunch of my old clothes in our garage sale, and this lady asked who all these big size clothes belonged to because they couldn't belong to me because I was so small :D 1 MrsG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
