Ndipilato 50 Posted April 11, 2014 I am only 1 1/2 wks post op and down almost 16 lbs since surgery. But got in my car today and had to move the seat up 1 notch cuz felt like my upper body was a mile from the strafing wheel and when I looked down I could see the crutch of my jeans instead of my belly!!! 6 karlam29, Mrs.RRn, Ask How Well and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NMJG 1,266 Posted April 11, 2014 Most of my summer shoes, sandals and slip ons, are too wide now. I am walking out of them. Will have to buy new ones. 3 JerseyGirl68, Mrs.RRn and Cstoneking reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeeLee37 109 Posted April 11, 2014 My shoes are getting too big as well but now I can put them on now without feeling like I am suffocating. I can stand and walk longer without so much lower back pain. 1 SliminDownThick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigGirlPanties 957 Posted April 11, 2014 Remember these when the scale is not moving...the NSVs are very important!!! Speaking of shoes, my sandals are Birkies because I need the support, fortunately most of them have a buckle on them so I am able to tighten them up... I have to wear my wedding rings on my middle finger now... silly little things that make us smile... When I'm typing, I can look down at my hand and be reminded of what that middle finger ring thing really means 2 Ask How Well and skinnygirlwithin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeniseNCC1701 306 Posted April 11, 2014 I use to enjoy my Wii Balance board a lot a few years ago, then I gained almost 50lbs and exceeded the weight capacity. This week I finally made it back under the limit. Just barely under, but I'm there. I can do the virtual hula-hoop once again. LOL Be well… 4 skinnygirlwithin, BigGirlPanties, karlam29 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LBD 121 Posted April 12, 2014 Just took my first flight after dropping 80 lbs. Last time I flew, I could not buckle my seat belt and was way too embarrassed to ask for an extension.... This time, I had about 6" of slack! Yay! Still a long way to go but that made me really happy!!! 1 skinnygirlwithin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
