What are some of the things you've noticed?



Recommended Posts

I have been fat since I was about 10, and I just had my band done in Aug., at age 40.

I have noticed some very nice, and sometimes funny things about loosing weight. I would love to hear from others, about things they have noticed, and liked, or even didn't like.

For example; my wedding rings are getting very loose... my granny undies stick up 3 inches over the waist of my pants.... I had to move the seat up in my car so I could reach the gas pedle.....

Mostly I would like to hear what else to expect.

Thank you for sharing, your thoughts!

I am down about 50 lbs and I have too many to list but I will give you a few.

Going to my closet and having nothing to wear because everything is too big instead of too small!

Noticing that I run up the stairs....multiple times in a row, and not gasping for air!

Entering a meeting in a function room and not thinking everyone is looking at how fat I am.....they are just looking to see who entered.

Looking at a plate of food (turkey club) and thinking OMG I cannot believe that I used to eat like that!!

Bending to tie my shoes and not worried that I cannot breathe!

Crossing my legs....that feels so good!

To be continued.................

I loved all the things you noticed. Some of them I hadn't thought of. I did particularly relate to, the walking in the room one. When I finished laughing at the nothing to wear one, I realized how true it was. (happy, giddy type, ain't it great, kind of laugh)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
