Ordered a size 18 jeans from American eagle. I told myself if I didn't fit in them I would work towards it and make it a goal to make them fit. Well this morning they came in the mail I squeezed myself into them and they FIT! I started off at a size 22! Now I'm officially a size 18. They are pretty tight but hey they zipped up and buttoned! I have about another 10lbs for me to actually feel "comfortable" in them lol

I guess today is the day for BIG suprises...I too started out a size 22. haven't owned a dress or a skirt in years..Well, today I bought size 14 Levis (no pull ons - these actually have a zipper and a button) and a skort size 14 and NOTHING was made of stretch material. I cannot believe it. I almost shouted in the dressing room. I plan on wearing the skort to work tomorrow (dress down Friday, plus 98 degrees) if I can gather the nerve. I just cannot believe it. You look at the scale and you know you are loosing weight but you look in the mirror and you still see the FAT person. Wow, what a difference a year has made in my life. I will be banded 1 year July 7th. Have a great weekend everyone and stay true to yourself !

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
