Pretty soon you will be out of the plus size department. I had a lap band and will be sleeved on 6/27. I remember, though, that I was a 22 and could shop in the nicer stores. I was between a 10-12. Now I am a 14-16. Almost back to plus sizes, but won't. The sleeve is soon to be here. You will find you gravitate over to the plus size department and then realize those are not going to fit! Congrats!

Congrats on breaking 300lbs! That is too awesome and wonderful! I know right now it may seem like your looking across the Mt. of Doom..but think 100lbs from now you're going to look back and think.. wow that went by quick, or you're going to think.. I remember writing that blog about losing 100lbs.. that feels just like yesterday! What was I worried about!

This is an even better reason to have chosen the surgery! LOL The scale just gives you #'s. The weight loss is the same and so it's all good. My scale is somewhat crazy. I weight in the AM and it said I way152.6, then less than 1 minute later, I step on it and it saids I weigh 156.4, so then I really have to check it one more time and it saids 154.6 lbs. So which is it? I always choose the lessor one of course. But my scale is a weight watcher's scale and cost me a pretty penny about a year ago. I think I like my old one better. Hehehehehe My scale lies to me and really deserves a time out for bad behavior!

I am so excited for you!! Way to go!!!!!!

Yiippee!!! Way to go!

Congratulations, it is hard to believe but very soon you will be giving those 20’s away! Keep rocking that sleeve!

wow that is so exciting!!!! i cannot wait till i can post things like this you are an inspiration!

This is so much fun to hear about! You are doing great and pretty soon those 20's will be way toooooooooo big! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

That is super exciting! Congratulations

lol.... the new scale will become your best friend..... because best friends are honest no matter how much it hurts.

LOL....I totally understand. Maybe you can stand on your new scale with part of a foot hanging off (by accident of course) just to make yourself feel better....

heck yes! i may be big boned n short but i am sure looking good! loving the sleeve!

Freddie is my favorite!!! I've always loved that song and I doubt I'll ever NOT be a fat-bottomed girl, but I'll take a booty curve instead of a Ghetto Onion, as one of the inmates at my former job called my posterior!!!

YAAAAAAAAY FOR YOU!!!! FINALLY!!!!

HILARIOUS! LOVE IT!

I think it is very healthy for alll of us to write our dear food a memo...I am with most of you...things just don't taste like they used to...
Food used to be my comforter in times of hurt feelings and bordom... I am sooo glad I am not foods best friend anymore!

LOL! Love it! This is sooo my love letter to food too! :-)

you said everything I have been thinking....love it, The taste of food has not changed for me, but 1 bite of the bad stuff is enough and I am satisfied. I am 5 weeks out and barely eating some a few bites of tuna.

It is a very helpful resource. Read all you can, you will learn a lot!

Amen It will come dooter, it will...hugs!

Dooter you just need to keep this mantra in mind:
I am a kicka$$ bodaciously beautiful woman
My fat lipids fear me and shrivel away to nothing
I am the awesome! The world is my 2 oz steak tartare
I am a kicka$$ bodaciously beautiful woman!
On the serious side, everybody's body looses weight at different speeds from different places. Example: My face and thighs lose weight before my chest. And it takes a Herculean amount of weight loss for my stomach to go away. You'll get there, just think positive!

My butt yet to start shrinking either, but my feet have melted down to a normal foot size, my pants went down 2 waist sizes, and my face has melted away so it is a glowing 1 chin face....my heart and liver and kidneys i'm sure are rejoycing due to their loss of fats around them....
Always check out the positives....fat is lost around your heart, liver , and kidneys first because they are the ones who are taxed the most from our weight issues, this allows us to get more energy and be healthier so our bodies can exercise with less trouble.
Your/my butts will come soon enough give it time, give it time...we didn't make these butts over night!

{{DOOTER}} Patience and persistence will pay off, I promise (I must believe this). Be gentle with yourself and take long walks with loving words for yourself in your heart.

YAY!!! Congratulations!!!

YAY!!! Congratulations!!!
