rmckellips 23 Posted September 4, 2014 I love all the great successes. So inspiring while I'm in the waiting process for surgery. Hopefully end of Nov or Dec. I can't wait for the day I don't have to go to Lane Giant for my clothes and underwear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Snaps 1,323 Posted September 5, 2014 @rmckellips -- You're gonna love shopping! It's so much fun to go in a dressing room with a size smaller than you're wearing and then realize that size is too big, too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lesterdreisbach 187 Posted September 5, 2014 I am a 33yr old man and I had a wow moment last night found a pair of my (fat pants lol) size 46' and held them up in front of my now size 30' waist and I could literally fit another me inside!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jolisue 112 Posted September 11, 2014 I finally found out what that secret was that Victoria has! Lol. That and I am at the point right now where I can shop in the regular and plus size sections, twice the clothes to pick from !! I'm so excited to buy Victoria's Secret underwear and bras! Looking forward to regular sizes for clothes, and no joint pain. I am scheduled for bypass 9/22, and I am excited!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SnohoGal98296 371 Posted September 15, 2014 Grabbing a pair of shorts the other day that didn't fit the day I brought them home. They were even a little big! Fitting in an airline seat and not needing a seat belt extender Realizing that I had run up and down the stairs at work that used to make me so breathless after a slow climb, It just keeps getting better each week - wish I had done this at 270 instead of waiting 2 more years and 30 more lbs...

pions9815 11 Posted September 18, 2014 I am only a month out and recently flew to Seattle. Before surgery I should have used a seat belt extender but I was too stubborn to so I pulled and pushed the seat belt and sucked in what I could to finally get the thing buckled. This past flight was so much better, I didn't have to struggle at all to get it to buckle and the belt didn't feel like it was cutting into my skin. It was great!

InspirationMySon 135 Posted September 20, 2014 I went to a local agricultural fair & sipped Water & brought a Protein Drink with me. The food all looked & smelled really nasty too me, it used to be "fun" to get French fries or the like. I was just enjoying walking around. Other people who came with us were trying to get me to eat crap because they don't know - even still I said I was on a diet & they still wanted me to eat crap:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan Graeve 50 Posted September 22, 2014 I'm only four weeks post-op and down 40 lbs starting from 338. I air travel for work every week, so my favorite NSV has been the ability to sit in the middle seat of a plane without a belt extender or angry looks from my neighbors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breehuskins 18 Posted September 23, 2014 These are all so inspiring!!!!! I'm 6 days post op, I'm in Si much pain. I want to start walking but it's so painful.
