    BOUGHT a 44" tuxedo for my sons wedding next month, replacing the 60" tuxedo I wore pre-op 18 months ago. It's time to rebuild my wardrobe!

    These are all such wonderful NSV. You should all be so proud of yourselves.
    I was over on another thread about stalls and stated I hadn't lost anything since March 8th. However when I reread the thread I saw all the NSV's I listed and thought it is time to revisit you all and for me to brag a bit.
    9 weeks ago I couldn't bike 0.62 miles now I am biking 5 miles. I had to use 2 canes to walk to my bike now I use one. Hope you don't mind.
    I had to move my van seat forward because my butt is smaller and my legs couldn't touch the gas pedal. Even at this more forward position, my tummy no longer touches the steering wheel.
    My pants are so big now that when I do walk I am stepping all over them.

    YES! This one! My husband was doing laundry over the weekend and was like, "What is with all this wear and tear on your pants legs?" :smile: :smile: :smile:

    @krissymae88 First of all, an NSV is ANYTHING you feel victorious about. I absolutely agree and can completely understand yours. My car is the same way. And I giggle now as I clean it out and find my random protein wrappers and drink bottles. My car used to be riddled with straw wrappers, fast food crap, stacks of napkins...so I get it.

    My most recent NSV? Not being recognized...again. It was actually very funny. I went out with my brother, SIL, and their employees this past Saturday night. I've not seen their employees since July or August when I was still at my heaviest. One of their friends recognized me right away, "HOLY CRAP! You've lost a *kitten* TON of weight! Keep it up!" Another girl, Alisha, didn't recognize me. My SIL said we were over by her, so I walked over, she looked at me, smiled and said hello. I said hi. She turned away. My SIL came over and started to ask if she remembered me when their spritely little apprentice (tattoo studio) came prancing over, "Alisha, you remember Eric's sister, Nicole!" She spun around, wide eyed and told me she didn't recognize me and I looked great. My brother and another employee, Adam, had been outside smoking and they came in to sit down. Adam smiled and introduced himself, I chuckled and said "We've met, I'm Nicole, Eric's sister." He smiled and said, "Really? I'm sorry, I don't remember you. I only remember meeting his other sister." The sprite started giggling, "Adam! Eric only HAS one sister!"

    I like not being recognized. lol

    My Director, who hasn't seen me since before surgery, looked at me and looked away truly not recognizing me. She kept hearing my voice, but when she turned around, she didn't see the me she knew. Finally, I spoke directly to her and she was gobsmacked. For a full minute, she just stared. And then she cried, because she was so happy.

    I'm noticing my belly pooch is lessening. I doubt I'll have a flat belly without surgery, but it's nice to see it getting smaller.

    I've started running just because I can. I don't mean "running for exercise" which I've been doing for a few months now, but running just because I can. I need to get from Point A to Point B. If I'm wearing the right shoes, I'll run just because I can. I'm feeling very "Forrest Gump" these days.

    I just easily pulled on an old pair of jeans I haven't worn in probably 2 years and buttoned them, and I don't feel like I'm being sliced in two!

    I'm thrilled about shopping exclusively in the misses section now - either size 16 or 18, depending on fit. It feels *awesome*. I'm mostly in XL, but I actually purchased a few things in size L and they fit! I treated myself to a nice dark/shiny denim trenchcoat (size L!!) for hitting a big weight loss goal and today I wore it for the first time. I was getting looks from people, not the "wow she's fat" look, but because I know I look damn good in that coat. (I'm tall, with an hourglass figure, so anything I can cinch around the waist is flattering on me--at least now that I have my waist back!)

    Also, I traveled for work for the first time post-surgery. No seat extender needed, didn't squish the person next to me, fit comfortably in the seat without having to raise the arm rest. Felt really good.

    All great NSV's here! Just goes to show that WLS changes lives!!! I never would have reached my goal without it. Like most of you I tried for years (decades actually) to lose weight.
    My NSV is that I now stand in the front of the classes at my gym. I'm the one setting the pace and just knowing that I can do that (without feeling embarrasses) is awesome!

    I love my bath sheets even more now that they are super sized. They are also the newest towels we own, so they are still plush and fuzzy. The first time I used a regular towel and could wrap and tuck and have it stay up was a real NSV!

    Yes, this!

    And I can't shave them (women do that) without cutting myself because they're so cavernous and bony instead of flat and padded!
