What are BEST side effects of WLS for you besides the WL?

Can’t believe no one has mentioned this yet... my fiancé and I often pack together in one suitcase. She would complain because I took so many clothes. “You’re taking up all the room!!” I realize now I wasn’t taking more clothes, my clothes were just so much bigger. My small-body clothes allow me to pack even more and take up less room!

I'm only 3 weeks post-op and 30 pounds down, but I already can breathe better and actually go on walks/climb stairs. It's really nice.

Doing amazing! I hope you have been too. In fact, I have something additional to post in this thread that I only just experienced tonight.. like 20 mins ago. I LOVE EXERCISE NOW. Really, it's true! I'm not able to go all out yet, but I just did a 30 min power walk at night when it was like 50 degrees. I felt alive for the first time in a long while. Mind you all, I live in a REALLY safe area so I'm not too concerned about walking at night.

Also about the weight loss, I lost the 30 pounds in the pre-op diet and the post so far. 33 pounds today since Feb. 2nd when I last weighed in before starting the pre-op diet.
