Beni 1,484 Posted December 30, 2014 I crossed my legs today. They still don't stay there for too long but I couldn't do that before for even a second. But best of all, the person I see in the mirror has hope for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gahannagal 31 Posted January 1, 2015 My NV I am actually working a second job right now. 1 year ago my husband and daughter did all the shopping because I couldn't stand or walk. I now do 8 flights of stairs. I try to daily but don't always do that. I walk for 15 minutes a day at least. I am the happiest I have been in years. I thank God that the surgery gave me my life back! Thank you all for support and may God bless 2015 for us all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerisgreat 56 Posted January 1, 2015 Today my husband helped me recheck my measurements. We took them and recorded them in my journal two days after I started the pre-op liquid diet on November 17th, 2014 because a friend of mine had told me that she didn't take any measurements and that was one of her biggest regrets from preparation. Today, in comparison, each of my upper arms are nearly 3 inches smaller, my neck is a full inch smaller, my chest shows a five inch decrease, my waist is a full EIGHT inches smaller, and my hips are three and a half inches smaller!!!! Each thigh is three inches smaller, and each calf is an inch smaller. I am SOOOOOOOO thrilled with these results! Here's to dressing like a hobo for the first few months of 2015 as my clothes are hanging on me and i REFUSE to replace them as of yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladypoohbear 123 Posted January 1, 2015 Yesterday I went to Walmart and shopped for clothes in the normal sizes area. Of course I had to look for that area because I always went to the big lady section. When I got there I found a pair of jeans size 34 and oh yaaaa they fit and looked good. Thats down from size 44.... I started to dance and spin in circles, I was so happy. After I realized people were watching me, I stopped and said " Hey...I lost 134 lbs, and I'm shopping". I got lots of smiles and continued shopping. Yes that was a moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mommabird 367 Posted January 3, 2015 I've been able to sleep the entire night in my bed. No more recliner! I also broke the 10,000 step mark on my fitbit yesterday! Over 12500 steps in one day! And I crushed my sister in a five day competition for the most steps! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
