Hi,

I have been waiting for my stomch to catch up with the weight loss I have had. I've posted before about my top being smaller than my bottom, and it's all around the waist. It seems like my skin has finally started to get the message because my jeans just started to hang on me.

I went to Kohls and tried some jeans there in a 16 - they did not fit. Way too small. I really need low rise jeans because they are cut more generaously in the waist.

So, I went to Torrid ( which I love because of the designers, but they are pricey) and fit easily into all size 16 and even one size 14! Yes, I know this is a "plus size" store, but they carry great low-rise jeans in fantastic washes. Bought 3 pairs of jeans / two 16's and one 14 :-)

I am so happy to finally see some movement in the pants-size department. Slow and steady wins the race!!

Way to go, Lara! Slow and steady is right! I have followed your lead and do not get on the scale every day like I did the first few weeks. This has helped my sanity!!

Great news about the 14's, too! You will be at goal before you know it. It's gonna be a great summer, huh?smile.gif

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
