Another NSV
We were invited to a ceremony at church for my sister-in-law this morning. At first, I was thinking I wouldn't go because I didn't think I had anything appropriate to wear. (You should see my closet: filled with mostly raggedy, old faded clothing, because when you're as fat as I was/am, who cares?) Then I remembered I had a pair of pants and shirt I bought back in June to wear to a funeral, so thought I'd try them on, and maybe go to church anyway.
Wellll, to make a short story long, I tried them on, and they almost fell off! When I bought them, they fit but were a little snug, and I remember thinking, "I hope they don't split in the rear when I sit down." I feel bad that I'm missing my sister-in-law's ceremony, but I am dancing with joy over those pants almost falling off!
Even though my weight loss is still very slow, I'm so very happy I had this surgery! So many things to be thankful for besides just loss of lbs. I feel better, I move easier, my clothes are no longer tight and form-fitting (which I have always hated), and food is no longer so appealing. Oh, I have the occasional moment when something looks appealing (can you say "CANDY CORN"), but for the most part, I'm struggling just to eat at all. So, I'm a very happy camper!

That is a great story and good for you. I hate tight fitting clothes too and am still getting some wear out of mostly my stretch waist pants. I shudder to think how snug they were and how the long tops covered things so well (or so I thought anyway). Cheers to weight loss, smaller waists,etc. and clothes shopping
