You know you've had WLS if....

... "Welcome to the other side" doesn't include death.
...New clothes fall off in a week.
...You get excited about hand me downs.
...Going bald and getting wrinkles is a good thing.
...Hitting the "Century Mark" is actually a good thing.
...When your rear end no longer looks like a mudslide.
... Other women are calling you names behind your back.
...When you are glared at in the plus size department because you don't "belong there". And you aren't sure where to even begin to look for your size of clothes :)
...When you really don't have a thing to wear.
...You have to prove you are the person on the drivers license.
...You start being in the pictures not behind the camera.
...You want to hug everyone fat and hand them your surgeon's card.
...When you order a doggy bag at the same time as your meal.
...Being too small for your britches.
...When you go pick up your teenager at school and all the other kids say WOW you're mom is hot!
...You truly are a "cheap date".
...When you run to the door and don't hear a flapping sound.
...Vitamins feel like a meal.
...You go from a 46DD to 32A in a year and didn't have a breast reduction.
...You've just lost 100 lbs and run into a high school friend who asks "did you change your hair?"
...You can cross your legs... both of them!
...Instead of a Wonder Bra you need a "Wonder Where They Went Bra"
...When your obsession from food turns to your scale.
...When your weight bench is no longer used for drying your fine washables.
...Your mother says "You don't eat enough" or "You are getting too thin".
...When your doctor looks you in the eye and says "I know you will have success with this." or "You need more calories each day."
...When wearing pantyhose, you don't have to worry that you might ignite a fire.
...When you wave and your upper arms wave back.
...You safety pin your underwear.
...Your husband introduces you as his "New Skinny Girlfriend".
...You cannot blame the cat or dog for shedding.
...You cancel your Lane Bryant Credit Card and start shopping at Victoria's Secret.
