Size 36 pants from 44-46s and XL shirts from XXL-XXXL. Shopping for last nights Christmas party this week since everything I had was huge, and not in the Big & Tall section, but the regular section. Nothing wrong with the Big & Tall section, but I am not tall.0

She looked amazing and it's not just the weight loss. She looked me in the eye and smiled and talked and laughed and it was amazing to see her coming out of her shell."
I teared up. I'm beyond happy that I decided to get the sleeve. I've felt better and more able to be part of what is happening around me. Before the surgery, I was the extreme example of an introverted hermit. I didn't leave my house unless I had to and when I did, I really didn't look people in the eye. I thought if I didn't look at them, they wouldn't notice me. I have been waiting my entire life to gain the confidence that having to work through my issues has given me.
Your post made me tear up. This surgery gives us our lives back in more than a physical way. Congratulations to you.0 -
I can now fit into the smallest size I have ever worn as an adult. A size 14!0

Hubby and I went for a walk today.... we have both lost so much we can walk next to each other on the sidewalk with plenty of room.... used to get too "crowded" before.

I just reached 29 BMI, no longer obese! I bought some smaller pants at one point thinking that I might get into them someday! Tried them on today, I didn't think they would fit yet, just trying to see how close they were to fitting. One pair is too big, the other 2 fit but are a bit loose.0

Wooohoooo!!! I am trying to get to "normal".... although that is another 17 pounds and I have NO idea how I would get there!

Trinity! What a great NSV. They are all great NSVs, but I think we tend to focus on the physical and don't realize that the emotional benefits of losing the weight are just as exciting!
itsdreday! I had the same thing happen at a store, twice and then just went to the DMV and said "I need a new picture". At first they were going to charge me for what they call a "do over" until the supervisor came over, looked at my license and then at me and told them to just charge me the annual renewal fee.
jkern! Isn't it great to fit where we didn't before! It's amazing all the places I didn't go because I couldn't find a place to sit without embarrassing myself or just plain not fitting.
jrnguyen! That's awesome! I haven't tried on anything from before I gained all my weight. I know sizing has changed in the last 40 years so I'm not sure what size those things would be in today's sizing, but I will at some point try to get into what's left in the box. Now to find that box!

Great NSV everyone. My latest is I was told by my husbands bro that I look good. I was told by an old boss/friend at the store the othet day, that I look hot and I can jump rope for several minutes without huffing and puffing.

My NSV is that I can walk up the steps holding something in both hands and not need to use the railing. Pre surgery I could only hold something in one hand since I needed to use the railing to help pull myself up each step0

I can really relate to this-- it feels good to be able to do just normal "life" type stuff, right? YAY!0 -
Flew to Florida for Christmas and I didn't need the seatbelt extender. Unfortunately I also brought home the flu.0

Air travel NSV: Lots and lots of time in airplanes, no problems with width, all of my problems were butt soreness! I love that trade!0

Got great news today. I had my company health screening and my labs are in. Fasting glucose went from pre-diabetic to perfectly normal. High cholesterol went to completely normal. Even my triglycerides went to normal! I haven't had these results in years-- at least not my adult years. Now all I have to do is get my BMI and my hemoglobin to normal, though anemia is something I have dealt with all my adult life so that isn't new. I am so happy. I am only imagining what next January's results will be when I am a year in from surgery. I am betting my BMI will be normal and so will everything else!!0
