Inspirational Moment
Well, as we can all tell from my pics. I am a full figured gal with big hips, big butt & big things. These areas have always been and continue to be my worst nightmare. I've come to the conclusion that even though I have lost a lot of weight, these areas will slowly dwindle away.
Anyway, 1 month post op, I bought a size 18 skirt and I said I am going to wear this skirt before the summer gets here. So for the last couple of months, I've tried it own but no success. Last month I tried and I could get into it but I couldn't zip it up. So this morning, I decided to try it own and guess what. Me and all of my hips, butt and thighs fit and I was able to zip it up and sit down. So guess what, I wore it to work today. I've gotten so many compliments. Everyone keeps telling me, when I wear clothes that fit, they can really tell how much weight I've lost.
It's simple accomplishments like these that confirm my decision to have WLS
Just thought I'd share that my lower half is trying to catch up with the top half!!!

Hi Deb,
It takes a while for our heads to catch up to the reality of our new bodies. It sounds like things like this shirt is one of those realty checks for you.
Enjoy seeing the new you that is unfolding.
