I Finally Wear "normal Sized" Clothes!



Recommended Posts

I've been a size 22 since I was 18...and just this weekend I wore my first pair of size 14 jeans! What an incredible feeling! I shopped at Express and the size large was too big...I've been buying shirts from the "skinny girl" stores too. It's so strange....sometimes I look in the mirror and I see the same person but clearly I'm not. Even my feet are smaller - I don't wear wide width anymore and I can actually wear heels without my feet hurting. I just had to share my excitement!! I'm only 12 lbs from hitting the 100's!!!

Congrats Miss Castro ... it's such a good feeling the first time you get back into a smaller size you haven't seen in years.

I was a 22 and now I'm a 16/18. I have pictures on my frig of me the last time I wore a size 6.

Woo hoo!! Go for it!!

Absolutely! Keep going! I had an old friend tell me "you are so tiny!"....lol tiny? no. But at a size 16ish it is smaller than I have been in over a decade.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
