Yesterday I got tired of my super baggy pants...and since I wasn't sure of what size to get I went to Walmart (thought since sizes change so fast I don't want to spend a fortune on clothes). I was so surprised that the size 18W slid right on--no "sucking" in or dancing around to get them zipped...I was amazed because pre-banding I was wearing a size 28W...never thought I would be able to wear a smaller size again. I tried to explain this feat to my husband but he just didn't get it. I am excited and needed to share my excitement with people who will understand and join me in this simple celebration!!!

I just had my 5 month check up yesterday and I'm down 50 lbs now. I've gone from a 24 to an 18 pants. My surgery was May 11th and I'm tickled pink. I think I'm pretty close to being in the green zone and very excited. Just wanted to brag about my band!! Your doing great!!! And keep it up!!!

WTG--I went to Walmart last week and tried on new clothes, M-L shirt and 18 pants. Originally size 24. My husband was just as excited as I was. His comment, I saw it all along, keep up the good work he said.

the best I got out my hubby was " wow, you look like a bean pole". I took that as a compliment from he of few words... congrats!!

I still get a kick when I look at a size 10 and think there is no way that is going over my butt and they slide right up and no muffin top.... lol

Congratulations girl! What an accomplisthment! I would be shouting from the rooftops.

I have lost 47 lbs so far and my clothes are a little baggy, but I don't think I'm down any significant sizes. I can still fit into my 26W and 24W clothes. I know I'm doing what I should and weight is coming off, but I love hearing these stories of you ladies having fun shopping. I WILL get there.

Keep up the good work to all of you on your journey! We got this!

Next time you are in a clothing store try on a smaller size just for the heck of it. You might be suprised! When I first started loosing weight and my clothes got loose I kept thinking that my 20W still fit untill my mom pushed me into trying on smaller sizes. Wow I was down to a 16 without realizing it. So, try what harm is there in that?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
