I am in the process of swapping out my Summer Clothes for my Winter Ones.

Well I found a pair of Jeans that didn't fit about 3 weeks ago, so I thought what the heck !

Lets see if all that working out in the Gym, and Pool has helped....

O M G They fit ! YES ! down to a size 20 in Jeans, and looking Great !

Then I found a pair of Capri's that I was wearing last year, and they were getting snug.

They are a 32 W. I almost fell over twice ! First when I looked in the Mirror, and looked Good !

Then when I read the size. I had forgotten how big they were.

Well there is NO ! Looking Back ! Only Forward for the future.

For the Newbies, and Non -Believers.. This Band really does work

as long as you work it right..

I have to Celebrate TODAY !:heart: :kiss: :lightbulb::musical_note::rose::star:

A lot of emotions here...

Also I'm sure that a lot of Winter Clothes won't fit !, So I will be putting cloths,

on are clothing site.

Shirley.

:) Shirley,

Woohoo you are doing WONDERFUL :lol: I know that it must be a real treat to get into that closet and now try on all those clothes and realize they really need to be donated to the local Goodwill because you can NO longer fit into them. They are TOO big! Way to go. Keep up all that hard work. You are an inspiration to us all and I can NOT wait to have the same experience !!

Congrats Shirley! I'm with you, I have NO winter clothes that fit, since I was banded in December this is my first winter that I'm smaller. My sister got me this beautiful coat last year for my birthday (she didn't know about me getting surgery then) and it was snug on me. I tried it on and it is to big :(. Kind of sad about it in a way because it's a beautiful coat and I would've loved to wear it and I got so little use out of it because it was a bit snug and I didn't like the way it looked when I zipped it. Oh well, I'll have to find one like it

Congratz!!! I was banded in July 2010 and well all the winter clothes i bought last year because everything I had was too big.... well guess what I gotta do it all over again. WOOHOO. ;) Don't even mind spending money on clothes anymore because the smaller clothes fit so much better than the double and triple enlargements of the original patterns. Before surgery I was in a snug size 60 pant. Last winter I had to buy a pair of 46's because i had some that I had outgrown before the surgery that now fit (48-52). Last month I bought size 36's and they are actually a little big I should have went 34's. That is just CRAZY!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
