sassy14 178 Posted November 19, 2014 Smiley, I know just what you mean! I did the same thing. I'm now 22 months post surgery, down 134 lbs and it is awesome! It took me a bit of time, but now I am so comfortable in my size 10/12 body!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teacherlady2133 258 Posted November 20, 2014 In 2 days I have been described with the adjective of thin. I have never been called thin in all my 37 years! Having new adjectives in how people describe me is a NSV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

going2servive 36 Posted November 24, 2014 I am only 14 days post op but I sat in my favorite chair on my front porch and didn't have to hold it down when I got up to keep it from being stuck to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AuriP 420 Posted November 27, 2014 34 lbs down from my highest weight. I went to see the 3rd movie of the hunger games and my legs didn't touch the arm rests. That was a great feeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamsoworthit 430 Posted December 1, 2014 My last two drains were supposed to come out today but they still aren't ready. Now it might be wednesday. The drains are the pits!! I can't get over how tiny I am now. People have been telling me for month's but now I see it. I like being 117. It feels right for my frame. My clothes all fit so much better now and bottom now matches the top. I am so glad I did the lower body lift even for as painful it is it is worth it for me.

bellabloom 2,467 Posted December 12, 2014 Today my mom said: your eyes look bigger. It's not much but it's a start!!! I am looking forward to being able to hold my daughter on my lap with room, being able to sit in a booth at a restaurant comfortably, being able to win my @&&@ without crazy circus maneuvers , having people not ask me when my baby is due, going window shopping and actually feeling like I belong in the stores I visit .......

brown eyed gal 59 Posted December 13, 2014 CALORIES? I use bariatric pal to track my Protein. I'm a slow loser, I've only lost 16 since surgery. Anyway bariatricpal told me that I need 1000 calories instead of 800 because it's slowing my metabolism. My team has told me to just pay attention to my Protein and Water the first three months but...I don't want to eat to much and I don't want to eat to little! I TOO AM GLAD TO SEE YOU BACK ON HERE BRONX! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teacherlady2133 258 Posted December 18, 2014 Got to love children.... I was told can't believe how flexible you are now mom. You can crawl into a ball in chairs. I hadn't noticed but I like sitting with my legs up tight to my chest.. Big change to have my knees to my chest... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cupcake 801 Posted December 21, 2014 Being able to cross your legs and being look upon by others in envy when you enter a room instead of smirks . Looking good in your clothes by wearing single digits instead of plus size. And of course being healthy . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
