    Thank you for sharing your story. I am trying to decide whether to have the RNY bypass or not and this was an honest experience that I needed to read.

    yes you are not alone. maybe you're afraid of the pressure of maintaining when you get to goal, this way you are always working towards your goal. i know for me to shop on the regular side of the clothing store still freaks me out and i almost have a panic attack. i still cant make myself go into store that dont sell plus sized clothing as well as regular. i totally understand you.

    dont be discouraged. this is a slow proceess. i know you want it to happen like right now..(and trust me we all do), but it's gonna take some time before you get to good restriction and for your body to adjust. i am a slow loser, but be patient and faithful to your journey...make sure you're working out and doing your part and it will happen. you can do this..we are right here with you

    if your fill is done under fluro...nothing to be worried about. my doc numbs the area with a quick pinch and then the fill takes less that 3 minutes total..piece of cake compared to the surgery. i just can never watch that big needle or i might pass out.lol

    i know EXACTLY what you mean - i just started shopping in the regular section myself and every time i walk in a store now i have to stop myself from going straight to plus size. No one would undrestand that but us - but you are right it is a SURREAL experience - hard to get our minds wrapped around the new reality. i was at a thrift store yesterday and just for the heck of it bought 2 pairs of size 10 jeans (i started at 276 am now 169.6) - thinking i would just lose more weight and eventually get in them. I brought them home and both pair fit - a little snug but totally wear-able. I could not believe it. BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!

    I was just saying the same thing, I feel a bubble of excitement starting. Im actually loosing weight, starting to use small plates, baby spoons so what, but if it works for me, then I will use.
    I bought stuff ahead of time to have , and I think by the time I go look those clothes will be to big, I hope I left the tags on!

    Way to go!!! I got My butt into a 16 and was shocked. I had just bought a pair of jeans 18 the week before. I scale hadn't changed but a pound or two back and forth but the 16's I bought for next month fit. They were tight at begining of last week and zipped right up by Friday morning.14 seems so far way for me- It's been forever since I own a 14. I can't wait for that day. You are awesome! What a great feeling. Keep up the great work.

    i think everyone goes through this. it took me 5 fills and 2 unfills in 8 months to get to good restriction. i am finally down 35 pounds and i thought it should be more, but my clothing size has gone froma 20 to 14 in those 8 months. i know noone wants to hear be patient and that it's goin to happen, but thats the truth. i was so frustrated i actually broke my scale from throwing it down the stairs. as long as you are doing all you know to do, until you get good restriction its gonna be a challenge. hang in there.
