I am coming upon 4 months post op. I knew the changes would be great. I knew I would feel so much better. And I do. I can walk without being out of breathe. The compliments I get sure do help the ego. Its Nice to go to work or out and not be embarrassed about what I am wearing,

At work yesterday I had to go to a meeting. The chairs in the room have metal arms. I was always so uncomfortable and the metal arms would dig into my legs and hurt. Yesterday I went to the meeting sat down started talking to others. Then I realized I fit in to the chair and was comfortable. I wanted to yell I FIT I FIT. But knew no one would really understand.lol

Today at work we had a outing. I wore a new top and jeans with sandals. for the first time in a long time. I felt I looked cute. I felt so good. Then my friend and I went to the mall, I shopped at Torrid. I always wanted to shop in there but could never. I was too big to fit into their clothes. I bought 3 shirts. One is even off the shoulders. I still have a way to go. But there is a smile on my face and I feel so awesome.

For the first time I am looking forward to summer. Not the bathing suit part.lol Having WLS is the best thing I ever did.

I had that same kind of NSV a month or so ago at work. It is a WONDERFUL feeling. I know I was grinning ear to ear during our meeting but I just couldn't help it I was so excited to be able to sit down comfortably! Usually I spent the whole meeting twisting and turning trying to get my legs to wake up or reposition where the sides were digging in my hips, but now I know they are NO problem! It's strange how even though I know I'm not as "wide", I still hesitate a little before sitting in certain chairs because I forget and don't always "feel" smaller...if that makes sense!
