Today I had to return some clothes I ordered online to Fashion Bug and managed to get the sister who doesn't totally hate shopping to go with me. Since I was returning clothes because they were too big it was okay to browse as long as I didn't spend more then I was refunded right?

Well, shopping is so much fun right now! In August I remember being in Fashion Bug to get an outfit for my uncles 80th bday and crying in the dressing room when I had to try on 4x because 3x just didn't work anymore. So today I go into the dressing room with a few shirts in 3x and one 2x just because they didn't have it in a 3x. I tried on the 2x first because I figured I could cheer myself up with the other shirts when this one didn't fit.... But guess what!!

I had to peak my head out of the dressing room and ask Alyse "Can you see if this one is on the clearance rack in a 1x?" Seriously, that moment is totally in my top 10 best moments ever! I ended up getting a few shirts that were 2x and a few that were 1x. I comfortably fit the 2x's now- but I know it won't be long before I need the 1xs. (At $5/each how can you not stock up a little in the smaller sizes?)

It was such a fantastic day. Alyse hasn't seen me since before my surgery because she was away at college. When she saw me for the first time last night she couldn't stop telling me all the places she could see the weight loss. (face, stomach, legs, ect.) I kept telling her to shut up and stop trying to make me feel good.... This went on all night until she made me stand in the doorway I took my preop pics and then loaded the new ones into the computer side by side.... WOW! You can see the difference.

Who knew I have a neck? lol!!!

LOL!! Good for you!! I also did a happy dance today, I fit into my 18's! No shimmy shakes or jumping, or laying down to button. They FIT! I was soo happy! I called my husband in to show him and he did a little dance for me too. Doesn't it feel great to see the change so soon?! We are sleeve sisters because we had ours on the same day, so I find it great that you are having great results like I am. And guess what...I HAVE A NECK TOO!! Banane59.gif

Even funnier, I'm fitting in my 18s too!! I love "The Flirt" jeans from Old Navy. They fit me in all the right ways! I haven't lost any weight in the last 2 days... I think it's time to get the tape measure out!

Very happy for you!

woo hoo! this feels so good when you have to ask for a smaller size instead of a bigger one! I have been doing shopping at the goodwill because buying new during the big loss can be expensive.I find myself lost when I am shopping because I know what size I am, but when I hold it up to see if it looks like it will fit, the size just doenst match what my head thinks I am still. I have to try all of the clothes on just in case, because I just dont know if it will be to big or not. So much fun! I was able to buy a brand new workout suit with tags and all at the goodwill for 5 bucks. I didnt try it on just this once, thinking that no matter if it is too small I will shrink into it anyways. well I got it home and tried it on, and to my suprize it fit perfectly! I'm feeling so much smaller now!

congrats to you ladies!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
