One of my sleeve sisters kept her fat pants too and would take a picture of her new pants on top of her old pants. Last picture she posted was of her standing in one leg of the fat pants.

I find it amazing that you can look back and call them fat pants with a smile on your face.

Congrats on your success with your sleeve!

What a result! Can I ask did you get a lot of lose skin? I think I will be lucky and not have too much. I'm 220 and hope to be about 140 or 130!!

Passing on the fat clothes is a great thing to do! I have gotten rid of EVERYTHING except the jeans and the shirt I am wearing in my initial pics. Speaking of which it's time to do another closet clean out. Poor pathetic closet haha. I have been able to successfully get both legs into one pant leg. So crazy.

Punkypoo, my skin is not that bad, except my stomach. I have had 3 c-sections and carried twins so my stomach is pretty trashed and will need to be repaired but it needed to be fixed when I was fat anyways. My arms don't look bad unless I lift them out and pull down on the skin ha. My thighs and butt are somewhat giggly but really nothing like the people at my support group. And you definitely cannot tell if I am dressed. Even with my stomach being as bad as it is, it hids pretty well. My boobs totally deflated but I was pretty small in that department to begin with :/ I do not exercise so I am sure that if I did the giggly skin would tighten up.

You look fabulous! Our beginning stats and goal are almost the same. I have been glad to say good bye to the size 20's, but I can't imagine ever getting to a size 2.

Great job working your sleeve, thanks for the inspirational post.

I never thought it was possible. I thought I would be lucky to ever fit a size 8 and before I knew it I was in a 6 and it just kept on going ha. Now I am kind of nervous to see what size I will fit once I have my stomach repaired, I measured the flat area under the fat around my c-section scar and it is 3 inches smaller than that skin that will be removed :/

Thanks so much for this post!! You look amazing--congratulations on your achievement!!

I'm really starting to wonder where I'm going to end up size-wise--I, too, have a "cranky" sleeve--LOVE that term for it, BTW--and I don't work out regularly. You are a lot younger than I, but you look like everything's bounced back just wonderfully. You give me hope! :-) Keep us posted, please! Would love to keep up with where you are and how things are going!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
