I am 2 months out and have lost 57 lbs. I still think I am that bigger girl from before my surgery. My boss told me today to STOP wearing my old clothes because they were TOO BIG and to wear smaller ones. She knows I have a variety of sizes in my closet. She kinda yelled at me when she said it. :director: SOOO, when I got home I put several items in the goodwill basket and moved the smaller sizes to the front. I am going to take my boss' advice and wear the smaller clothes!!!! :thumb:

Thats great! Start rockin it girl, you are 57 lbs down for good!

Do it girlfriend! You will feel so great when you put on those smaller clothes and you will never where your big girl clothes again.

I would call this an interesting NSV. Someone has noticed your weightloss and wants you to show off your new body. Albeit yelling might have been a bit much.

Congratulations on the wonderful weightloss. Keep us posted.

I first wore clothes tight bc I was fat and they were to small. After surgery I wore them loose bc I was fighting trying not to buy clothes. Now I buy my clothes bc I have no sizes like this and I buy them tight. I use a belt often, tuck in shirts. It is kind of a 3 phase rhino. The funny part was when you need clothes you also often need shoes underwear, pajamas, etc bc it all gets too big. How fun, enjoy.

Congratz on the weight loss. Doesn't it feel AWESOME!!!!!

If I may ask, what exactly are you doing that you have had such fantastic loss? What are you eating, how much, what kind of exercising, etc. I am almost 15 weeks out and have only lost 47 lbs - and the first 20 were in the first 2 wks post op so don't really "count". 27 pounds in 3 months is really slow. =(

I eat really anything I want and have a taste for. The only exercising I do is walking and that is minimal. I don't do anything different than before, just smaller portions. I am a heavy weight so I contribute that as a factor.

HUGE SUCCESS STORY girlie! That is awesome! Congrats

Sweet!

Yeah, I'm a heavy weight too. Day of surgery weight, 294. Current weight, 245. Date of surgery, 14 July. What is your target calorie count/protein count/exercise? My surgeon and nut have me on 600 cals a day. My carbs are low, around 10 grams a day, and my Protein high, around 85 grams.

Wow! 57 pounds in 2 months! You're doing amazing.

I have been as diligent as I can with keeping my clothing size consistent with the changes in my body. The droopy butt pants look is NOT cute or sexy. :omg_smile:

It's costing me a bit more than I want to spend to keep up with my sizes, but all the money I'm saving on food is pretty much making things even. I have been buying my clothes from the outlet store and sometimes at WalMart. I found a new pair of jeans from Goodwill for $5 the other day. I just can't afford regular prices when my size keeps changing. I make sure I have at least 5 pair of pants in the right size and wear them until they get too baggy in the butt. The shirts are a little easier to work with. It's an interesting problem to have.

I try to get between 700 and 800 calories a day but usually only get in 600. I do not eat alot of carbs because they are filling. I would rather eat more protein and veggies. I have a hard time getting my 60 grams of protein. I don't like Protein shakes. I eat alot of turkey. I try to walk 30 minutes a day. My days vary as well. Somedays I can eat more than others. I also seem to be able to eat more at night than in the morning.
