8 Weeks Since Surgery... NSVs Galore

Jul 12, 2016

Today marks eight weeks since my VSG surgery.  I feel so much better it isn't even funny.  I no longer get out of brath taking a walk with my preschoolers, I can walk up more than one flight of stairs without stopping to catch my breath.  I fit in chairs I never fit in before, I even can buy clothes in Target!  I feel like an entirely different person these days.  I have not been this happy with my appearance since I can remember.  Let's see, I have a few NSVs to share today.  1) I carry a purse that goes over my head and then under my arm, I have always had trouble finding bags that were long enough to fit all the way around me, and the majority of the time, the bag actually rests just below my armpit.  Recently I purchased a new bag and the other day I was trying to find something in the bottom of it and my hand couldn't reach all the way to the bottom of the bag, I actually had to readjust the strap so that I could find what I was looking for.  I have never had that problem before, and it's all because I am smaller.  2) I am currently wearing a size 14 jeans, I have not fit into a size 14 since I was a preteen.  3) I can sit in my aunt's plastic lawn chairs without breaking them with my fat ass (because I no longer have an ass, it disappeared with the majority of my fat :P ), and finally 4) I can run around with my preschoolers without fear of hurting myself or falling on someone and without dying from shortness of breath.

That is all, what are some of YOUR NSVs??
