This week I have had so many NSV. First my and my fiance both went to the gym 4 times this week. He has been working really hard and lost pounds this week :) Also tuesday I went to a braves game. The last time I was there the seats were so tight it bruised the outside of my legs from trying to squish myself in the whole time. It was miserable and I held back tears the whole time. This week I fit in the seats with a little room to spare! Today I went clothes shopping for the first time and tried on some pants. Before surgery I was in a 28 and they were super tight on me. Today I got a size 22! Also I have noticed the top half of me is shrinking way faster than the bottom I got a size 16/18 shirt and before I was a 26/28. To top everything off I stepped on the scale today and was at 285 :) down from 370 and 368 the day of surgery. Its crazy to think I still have such a long way to go because I already feel so amazing. I turned 25 while I was in the hospital for my gastric bypass best present I ever got myself. pic of1 me going to the braves game

Good for you! I love football and baseball games and I remember having thigh bruises thought the baseball season when I was heavy. No more! There is plenty of room even in the smaller seats.

I had my RNY the day before my 45th birthday, so I envy you the opportunity to live your adult life at a normal size. Make the most of it!

Thanks Lora! I will definitely be living life to the fullest now! All my friends keep telling me how its so crazy to see me out all the time now. I make plans all the time and have been trying new things. Next weekend my fiance and I are going to ride bikes and I started a garden this summer. I didnt realize just how trapped I was by being almost 400 pounds. Im so thankful that I was given this opportunity :) Also side not your a real inspiration to me and I love your dog! I have two basset hounds and they are my babys
