I am 10 weeks out and I started at 240lbs and a tight size 20 jeans... I am now 212lbs and in a size 16!!!

So today was picture day.. I take a picture once a month on the 5th in an old swim suit that I had when I was thin... Today we took my monthly picture and you could see a huge difference from last month and an even bigger difference from the first picture!!

I am in a wedding in the middle of July and I had to buy my dress early... so I had to order a 20 because I wasnt sure if I was going to get to have the surgery at the time I had to buy it... When I brought it home to show my husband, he had a hard time getting it to zip because it was a bit snug... Well I tried it on tonight and well lets just say the only thing holding it up is my butt!! They say they can take it in up to 2 sizes but I think I am already at that mark and the wedding is still over a month away!!! Ahhhahaha!

I have had 3 fills and I feel that I am at the sweet spot!! I am so excited about my progress and today just made it that much better!!! I cant wait to see how the rest of this turns out! I have set a new goal as of May 31 to hit 180lbs by August 31... thats about 10 lbs a month.. and that is exactly what I did last month!!! So I am determined to meet my goal!!!

I just wanted to share my exciting news with everyone!!!:D

You are doing great! Just be aware your weight loss may slow down. 10 pounds a month is a tough pace to keep up. Just don't want you to set yourself up for dissapointment. Have so much fun at the wedding, I am sure you will look great.

Hey puglover, It looks like we started out kinda the same. I weighed in at 236 (my scale) and I am at 212/213 right now as well. I just tried on some 16's and they fit, but were a bit snug, but they fit :rolleyes:. I have my goals at 10 per month as well. My next one is 205 by July 1st so thats only 7 pounds more to go. What is your height. I am 5' 7.5". Seems like we are on the same ride :D .

I went to work today and wore a tighter than I normally do t-shirt and some size 18 capri's and everyone said "Wow" because I for one usually wear baggie shirts and pants. But I can finally see my shape again, I thought I would try it out. It was nice to hear the "wows".

Congrats on your size 16!!!!!:D Hopefully you will be able to get the dress altered enough. Keep up the good work.

Hopetolose: That is awesome we are on a very close ride together!! Congrats to you on your loss also!! I am a bit shorter than you I am only 5 foot tall! I am a what I have always called short and squashy! lol There is nothing like the feeling of wearing something you dont normally wear and getting compliments! It makes everything so worth while!!

Rachel412: Thanks!! I dont want to have to pay for a new one but I kinda hope I have to!!!! :P

Congrats, that's awesome. I have an appointment for my third fill. I think I have waited too long between fills because I still haven't hit my sweet spot. Now I'm even more excited about getting the next one!! Thanks!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
