    Default My first NSV 16 days Post-op

    So my excitement level is through the roof right now. This morning when I stepped on the scale it hadn't budged not 1 pound in the past 3 days which was kind of disappointing but nevertheless on my lunchbreak today I grabbed my shake and headed to the store. Prior to my pre op diet I was wearing a size 26 jeans if the material wasn't strechy and a size 24 if the material gave a little. Today I slid on and zipped up a size 22 comfortably lol! I could but couldn't believe it! I can't tell you the last time I wore a 22 in pants. Also my wedding ring is now spinning around my finger..all day I am turning it around....it used to be very snug on my finger. Last but certainly not least. None of my bras fit anymore, the girls are shrinking. So I went to the bra speciality shop to but a new one and the lady measured me.....I am no longer a 42-44DD I am now a 38D....Ha! I am tickled pink. Just wanted to share.

    That is so awesome & inspiring! Thank you for sharing! You go girl! I've also been size 22/24 a long time & used to be more like 16/18 and even one time in my life 12/14. I can't wait until I can shop again in regular stores. So happy for you! Keep up the good work & keep us posted on your success!

    That's fantastic! I needed to hear that today..... Have had a lot of negative opinions about my upcoming surgery from a relative today! You might want to wait before you get your rings re-sized.... Sounds like it's all just dropping off you! Congratulations!

    Justine,

    I am happy my good news helped you in some way . I would let those negative comments go in one ear and right out the other. You are making a great decision! Yes I am actually going to wait to have my ring re-sized. I think Walmart has those little bands you can put on the back of your ring to make it feel more snug.

    Congrats!! But you might want to stop weighing so frequently. As you can see the scale can conflict with what is really happening. Perhaps for sanity sake, weigh only once a week.
