Phoenix79 452 Posted August 2, 2013 4 1/2 weeks post sleeve surgery. 1. I went with my Mom a few nights ago to see Pirates of Penzance at the 5th Avenue Theatre and pre-op, I always had to squish in the seat and have my hips pinched the entire show...but, this time, I fit comfortably and was able to focus entirely on the show! 2. I bought some smaller jeans at Value Village for "further down the line" last week- Lane Bryant blue size 4 trouser fit jeans. Pre op, at my highest, I wore a size 7 blue petite LB jean (I miss this old LB sizing BTW- they are the only jeans that have ever fit me like a glove - larger hips, smaller waist). I thought today just to try them on as gauge of where I am...surely they won't fit...and up and over my thighs and butt they slid, and zipped! HOORAY, this is actually working! 3. Probably TMI, but my legs do not fall asleep anymore when I have to sit on the toilet for longer periods of time now! Lol. 4. Feet are getting less wide- shoes are fitting better now! 5. Serving a gooey, chocolate layer cake at a family party and not being tempted to eat a slice. I did have a small shaving of dark chocolate garnish and I was good! Chocolate craving over!

sheilarae 84 Posted August 3, 2013 I've lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks. My clothes are so baggy and I don't bite the insides of my cheeks any more! I'm loving this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daydra 345 Posted August 3, 2013 Congratulations! Dang! I never thought of the cheek biting thing as an issue with weight. Another thing to look forward to! WooHoo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
