WOW! What a feeling!



Recommended Posts

Well as many of you sleevers know, or maybe will know, that we continue to wear our same clothes once they become comfortable and beyond. I kept wearing my same 2 pairs of jeans because they were comfortable and loose and probably made me feel good because although hardly anyone had commented on my weightloss they made ME realize I had lost weight. So I had been thinking I am about the weight I was before I got pregnant with my son. So I dug out the jeans I wore for my birthday right before I found out I was pregnant. I remember feeling SO good that night in my skin! Well I put them on and they FIT!! A little tighter in the waist than I prefer but a few more pounds and they will be PERFECT! They I dug out some from many years ago... again FIT! WOW! I can not believe it! This has never happened to me before! I am going to get rid of my comfortable pants and look forward to going out and buying some more JEANS!

That IS a wonderful feeling!!! It's one of the best feelings ever! I have also pulled out some summer clothes that I wasnt able to fit and they look great! I can't wait til summer comes full bloom and to go shopping. I told myself I wouldnt do any shopping until my birthday which is in July. UNtil then I'm just wearing my old clothes that I can now fit.

Congrats Lynda I too had a wow moment when I broke out some jeans and tops I wore several years ago (cloths bought after a big wt. loss). I am able to fit into quite a few nice jeans, skirts, tops and jackets. I still have even smaller sizes that are classic and pricey but I'm not there quite yet. Keep up the good work.

Very exciting Lynda!!

I am down one+ size in jeans. Almost ready for the next ones but agree, they are just a bit tighter than I would prefer. I bought a couple of danskins type pants and wear them to work too. I like the stretchy material and tie waist band.

Congrats! Sure makes it worth the changes!

Lynda, that's so exciting. I can put on jeans that I've saved for a couple of years. Two pairs that were my favorites. I can put them on and zip or button them up and they're ok, but just a little too tight for sitting around comfortably. My goal is to get into them ASAP and dump these baggy ones I've been wearing! :o

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
