Shopping NSV -- Black Friday -- and so happy !
I have two events in December that I need to attend, and need to wear a skirt/dress for each. I bought 2 skirts in June, when I was interviewing for jobs, but they are now too big; and were summer-y anyway....so I decided to help stimulate the economy and hit the Black Friday sales at 4:00 am this morning !!!
MY BIG NSV DAY:
1. needed new shoes as all mine were WIDE widths and I can't wear them anymore !!!
TODAY, I BOUGHT 4 PAIR OF SHOES ALL MEDIUM WIDTH -- AND EVERY PAIR I TRIED ON FIT - NO MUFFIN TOP ON THE SHOES ANYWEHRE !!!
2. 15 months ago I was wearing a size 26/28 Woman Plus.
TODAY, I BOUGHT A DRESS, SKIRT, AND 2 TOPS ALL IN SIZE 14 PETITE !!!!!
I took myself out to breakfast at 7am, inbetween shopping and ordered (because it sounded so good !) Hearty Oatmeal with fruit and 2 slices of turkey bacon.
HELLO ? !!! I ordered myself oatmeal and tkey bacon when there was pancakes on the menu. I am 55 years old, and I don't think I have ever ordered a healthy breakfast out before ! I ate less than half the bowl of oatmeal, cut up the apples and tossed the berries in the cereal, and nibbled 1 and a half pieces of the turkey bacon.
I was in awe of myself. How much has changed in the past 15 months since I started my pre-op changes and this journey. I still cannot believe I am wearing a size 14 petite !!!! UNREAL !!

Congrats! You are an inspiration!
It amazes me how life is so much better post VSG. I go out for breakfast or lunch for the social aspect...gotta love living in a small town! I can go out nearly every day for one 'meal' for a week and the amount of $ I spend is less than what one meal pre-vsg cost!
Best wishes...and BTW...you are mighty brave to do the Black Friday thing. I personally would rather have all my teeth pulled through my nose! LOL
