What an exciting milestone! Seriously amazing. I can't wait to get to that point. I will be so excited! Congratulations! biggrin.gif

Congrats! That is amazing, I love reading success stories, my eyes tear up with JOY for you!!!

My surgery is Sept. 10th. I am currently a size 22 and I haven't been a size 12 in over 20 years, I just can't imagine myself below a size 16. I hope I get smaller than that but right now it just seems impossible.

I keep hoping I will drop sizes faster......but so far no go. I DID buy a pair of trousers in the regular sizes, and they were a 16 too :) So I guess from a 18-20 W to a 16 regular is progress but I so want to try the 14's! I still wear my 18w's to work every day, they are pulled up to under my boobs and I'm walking on the bottoms, but since they are mostly knit you don't notice the droopy crotch/butt too much....lol

Congrats!! I can't wait to be there with you :) I just tried on a pair of size 18 jeans and they button, but are just a litle tight yet! So exciting to move down from a 24 :)

Hi,

I know how you feel!!! I am so happy for you. Congrats!!!!!

I can only dream about being where you are now! I figure I'm maybe 2-3 months away, IF all goes well. I look forward to fitting into those sizes, but I'm not a fan of shopping. So instead of finding something decent from a few possible choices, I have a feeling I'll be overwhelmed with deciding among so many new options. I seriously get nervous when I think about THAT flip side, but it won't slow me down on this journey any, at least!

Shopping is a lot more fun now than it was 100 pounds ago. I still find myself looking at Lane Bryant clothes & bras. I can now fit into Victoria Secret, but have a hard time letting go of Lane Bryant...weird! Have fun creating your new wardrobe.:rolleyes:

Do you have any before and after pics? I wear a 24/26 and want to stop at a size 10/12

Hey Looking Ahead--I was a tight 24/26/28 (depending on the item of clothing) and am now in a 10/12/14 (again depending on the clothing--LOL). You can check out my profile for before/after pics. That's me at my -100 pounds mark, so I'm down around 20 pounds more from that pic. It makes a BIG difference. Of course I got to replace my entire closet, which was SO MUCH FUN!

Awsome. Glad to hear that you are having such great progess.
