NSV & MediTrim SV
My calves have met for the first time in years!! I noticed yesterday morning when I got on the scale that not only were my thighs touching but so were my calves!! Wooo Hoooo!
Also, as of this morning, I have lose a total of 6.2 pounds since starting MediTrim and 24.2 since my consult on Oct 3rd. Today I am wearing a dress!! I usually only wear a dress in summer because pantie hose or tights are so uncomfortable and hard to get on. Not so today!! The day is coming when I will wear strappy shoes!!

Awesome. It's amazing what little things happen that you don't realize. Yesterday I was sitting talking to my mother in law and realized i was leaning forward with my elbows on my knees. I can't remember the last time I was able to do that. And didn't even realize it at first and said to Marg, I can't believe I'm sitting like this. Before, my gut would have been in the way of me leaning forward like that. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!

Congrats Charline - you are taking this bull by the horns you are doing so great!
Ya I know I stopped wearing dresses years ago - chub rub - yucky pantyhose crotch the whole thing..... buying the pantyhose so big but I am so short at only 5'3 baggy legs syndrome but too tight up top- uggh dont miss that.
So now I think about going away in a couple of weeks and for the formal stuff being able to wear panthose- I even tried on strappy heals the other day and thought I might be able to possibly walk in these and feel sexy. I even thought I could buy dress boots that go up your leg and not have to worry about them being to tight - so the realm of wearing a dress or skirt in the winter is possible!
I went to Value Village yesterday and got in to some size 13's - in capris and shorts for my trip - picked up some shirts that were actually regular xl not from the plus size section. I am really a petite not in the plus section but in the real people clothing - who would have ever thunk it !!
I couldnt believe it but I am starting to realize the scale is really going down so I need to look in the smaller sizes -I still end up with way to many things in larger sizes in the dressing rooms - keep thinking I am bigger than I am. I think the last time I could fit in a size 13 was the end of highschool maybe first part of university! Wow
Patsy may have to start crocheting lots of bikini's ! LOL

Yay Charline, I am so happy for you and so proud for you that you are doing so well on the pre op diet. Don't you just love those NSVs?! They lift you way up and just help your self esteem so much. Your time is getting short now. Won't be long and you will be over here with us on the losers bench.
I notice things like the size of my legs going down or the fact that my bustline is not in the way so much. It is amazing. And its also the way you feel when you walk some where, not so laboured, not out of breath.
And strappy shoes - I hear ya, I have tried on a few pair while getting ready for my trip.
I have given away everything I wore on last year's cruise because it was all too big. I am now wearing smaller sizes and feeling pretty good in all my new cruise wear. Exciting isn't it.
Good for you.
Ann
