Much anticipated NSV

I have ALWAYS been that girl who ends up barefoot at the club/party/walking down the street at 3am.  I enjoy wearing heels, even though I'm 5'9, but my feet don't enjoy it so much.  Before surgery, I wondered if losing weight would make supporting myself in heels a bit easier, and I finally got the answer.

The shoes pictured above are some of my favorite warm weather fun going out shoes.  The last time I wore them was last July to a party in Raleigh, and my feet were aching within an hour.  I spent quite a bit of the time sitting that night.  So, Saturday night I went out to celebrate my new single status with my friend and a cousin.  I decided I would give my lovely gold snakeskin wedges another try, and guess what?  At the end of the night, I was still standing, and still wearing my shoes!

What a difference going from 344---->272 makes!

Here are a couple of other photos from the evening:



Just for comparison...this is what I looked like in JULY when I wore the shoes last... I do see a big difference:

    J'adore those shoes!!!

    I honestly hadn't thought about it being easier to wear heels after losing weight!! My feet always hurts so I sit down or I just give in and wear flats!

    I cannot wait to test this theory for myself!

    Keep up the awesome work!! Looking good girlie!

    Oh my god that has been something I've thought about A LOT! I love heels but I never wear them because comfort is more important to me, and heels just kill my feet. Even just a couple days ago when we were at a concert in Chicago, I wore flats and after standing for 2 hours at the show, my feet were KILLING me. So glad to hear you say it gets better :) And those shoes are gorgeous!!!

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
