Ok so I just came back from Kohl's and I wear size 16 and XL in the misses section. I had tears well up when I tried it on.

I got the best compliment this week. Someone told me I look like my sister. She is tall and slender (married to a personal trainer) AND 13 years younger! Whoot whoot!

Just went clothes shopping (at a thrift store until I get to a steady size) and bought a bunch of shirts size M and L and pants in 12's!!!!!! I'm 9 weeks out tomorrow and wore a size 20-22 bottom and a 1-2x top. I'm in shock!

Hw 305 Sw 289 Cw 198. Not too shabby. Two days of no workouts due to my daughter playing Water polo all day so I will work out in the morning! Until next Friday!

About 6 years ago I bought 3 pairs of pants. They are all the same except color. They were way to small once I got them home and I was too embarrassed to take them back. Well good golly today they FIT!!!!!!!!! Sooo excited. It's not a huge size jump but it is a different size!

Today is my six month surgiversary. I see the doc tomorrow. Thank God.

My appt was cancelled and now I have to wait until this coming Tuesday to see the dr. Oh well gives me more time to work my butt off.

Totally true. It's amazing how supportive everyone is here. It's really been a blessing. Even when we may have something we shouldn't. We get support even then.

I felt the same way. My God it's only been ten days. I too have struggled with depression and right now you are probably thinking why? I did the same thing I cried and cried I missed food sooooo much. I thought I couldn't bare it. But I did and you will too I promise. Now I'm almost six months out. I can't tell you on eating everything but I am eating more variety. You will get through this. Keep your eyes on the prize.

I think most if not all felt the same way as you, I know I did. When you wake up from that surgery you are no longer the same person. You go from a football size stomach to a golf ball size stomach or smaller..emotions and hormones are all of the place. The pain is moderate to bad and then reality hits you like a ton of bricks...questions like why did I do this, should I have done this, was I ready to do this comes to your mind....those are all normal questions. The best thing to do is get your mind inclined with your journey now, get a support group, and come on here to get the support you need. I remember coming out of surgery and I felt like a Mac truck hit me head on and couldn't understand why did I do this to myself....6 months down and 104lbs gone I realize why....take it day by day like someone told me when I first posted...it will get better...good luck and congrats to your new life change!

It's been a journey but I wouldn't change it for the world. I move better I feel better too

So even though my diet consists of all Protein and has been since 1/29 since surgery. The past couple of weeks I have not been on course. I have been eating less than the serving size of Cheezits. I have an appt with my dr on the 30th and I should be at more than 75% of my weight loss and start incorporating fruits and veggies. I am just so bored with my diet. I eat all meats, cheese, beef Jerky, Greek yogurt, nuts, etc. I'm so bored. Any suggestions of what I can eat?

I am 7 pounds away from my goal, which is to have lost 100 pounds.

Awesome everyone. We are all doing so well.

Well it was my bday yesterday and I'm ecstatic that I have lost 101 lbs by my birthday and it hasn't been six months months yet. I still have three weeks. The possibilities are endless
