So many accomplishments since my surgery :) here we go, finally bought a belt not at a plus size store but a regular belt 2x fit. I didnt need an extension seat belt on the plane and i fit in perfect in the seat. Someone else can sit with me now on a 2 seater on the bus :)For once i dont hear "Oh you are so big" instead i hear "You are so pretty." Its refreshing to not be stared at all the time. So much i want to do now that i am smaller, applying to other jobs and on my way to getting my apartment :) Having WLS has been the best thing I ever decided to do, i feel like now i can get my life started!!
Its not been an easy ride sometimes i have to fight myself not to eat junk food, so planning ahead is working perfectly!!! also exercising in the morning....

I love my band :)
