I didnt know where else to put these. Because I feel like I'm already a success, I figured I'd put them here. I took some pictures of me in a brown dress I bought on my way home from my Sleeve surgery on September 19th. I bought this dress too small on purpose. It is a Size L. This is me wearing this dress barely two months later!! ) I"m all smiles!!!

Thank you Becca and DJackson!!!!

Ok folks... my Wedding Ring has to be held on by another ring my husband bought me or it simply flies off my hand. I just wanted to show you all.

My Wedding Ring is Size 8. The placeholder ring is size 6, and it's starting to feel loose now too... wow!!!

AWESOME!!! I can't wait to share my success with my sleeve sisters too...13 more days!!!

Irene -- you look absolutely fabulous -- the difference is incredible!! Don't you just feel awesome?? You look really great -- I'm so proud of you and can't wait for more updates Hugs! Julie

Diva... OMG... you are a different woman.... I am loving this... really given me a boost... keep up the good work lovely girl!!! x

Irene WAY TO GO!!! I said, WOW look at that little waist line! LOL I sure hope you did some STRUTTING! I know I would be doing the MODEL WALK and TURN AROUND, walk and turn....LOL GOOD JOB!!!

WOW! You look amazing!!!! You are doing such a fantastic job...woo hoo!

Um, I don't know how to say this delicately, but you wear your weight well. You are only 8 lbs less than what I weigh and OMG, there is NO WAY I would be fitting into a size L anything at this point and my neck is totally not that skinny! I would have guessed that you weigh MUCH less than your ticker says....lol. Congrats on that dress...what a great feeling!!!

Thank you hope!!! I was modeling for my camera... I won't lie!!

m2g, thank you so much! I don't mind you saying that at all. I really don't know why but I've ALWAYS been about 20-30 Lbs heavier than others that wear my size. I HATE it!!! I really can't say why that's the case. I guess I could lie about my weight and get away with it...

I actually won one of those "guess your weight" things at an amusement park once. Haha A long time ago though when I didn't mind getting on a giant scale in front a massive crowd!

Wow you look fabulous! I'm so happy for you.

You look GREAT!!!!!!! I can't wait to fit in a size Large! When I was 160 pounds (7yrs ago) I was in a size large and people said I was thin! LOL. But I am 5ft 10inches tall. How tall are you? And if you don't mind me asking, what is your current weight? I guess I am dumb because I can't figure out your tickers, LOL!

What have you lost just since your surgery date?

Again, you look amazing!!! I hope you feel as great as you look!

Thank you Darma!!! xx

Thank you also Sarah!!!

Right now I weigh 238, but in those photos I think I was around 242. I am 5'6 tall. Right now I'm about 35 Lbs down since my sleeve. Yay!!!

I would agree that a size L on you, being tall would make you a thin person. You will get there again, I have no doubt about that!!! You will likely even get smaller than that.

Just wanted to say congrats and you look fantastic! It is such an inspiration to see these photos and hear the stories. I am getting sleeved on 12/15 and although I am scared, posts like this make me very excited!

Thank you Darma!!! xx

OMG, I can't imagine being smaller than 160, LOL! I just wanna get out of the 200's right now! It's crazy to think about having a 1 in front of my #!! And a size L on my clothes! LOL, or even a M!
