So I haven't posted in a while, but yesterday was a shocker for me & I thought I really need to share this. I am almost 3 months post-op (06/05) and so far I have lost 40lbs (including pre-op lost), including 2 stalls. I can't see the difference but I know the difference in the way that my clothes fit. So yesterday I went shopping for some black slacks & a top for an upcoming job interview @ work. I started this journey wearing a size 20 or 22 on a good day, I do own a few 18's but in the past couple of weeks they are too big in the waist. I found a pair of slacks and a top both in a 16 (not a 16W), went into the dressing room to try them on (thinking that they would be too small, still the BIG GIRL shopping in my head). Lo and behold the pants fit and the top also, I broke down in the dressing room and these were happy tears that were falling. I can't believe that in less than 3 months I am down 3 sizes, my collarbones have made an appearance, and I am 10lbs away from my first 50lbs lost and I will hit ONEDERLAND. My goal for the first 50lbs & Onederland is June 30th.

awwwwww I got all teary!!! Thats amazing, congrats! Now, shopping will be fun!

Awesome! Congrats! I can totally understand the collarbone victory. I cant stop standing in front of the mirror and staring at it LOL!

Awsome. Good for you. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! You so deserve it, love!

Congratulations!!!! Very happy for you!

WTG!!!

That's awesome! Yes this surgery will affect your pocket book too! The shopping is sooo fun, isn't it? Everything fits! Congrats!

Thanks everyone for the support, I really appreciate it. This has has been a learning experience for me but I wouldn't change one minute of it.

Way to go! Congrats!!!!

Awesome! I can't wait to be able just shop @ Walmart, Target.

congratulations! That is a great victory! I had my surgery because of comorbidities but the loss of clothes sizes has been a joy! Sadly Patrick, even if I lose weight I will still be shopping in the tall section, just not the BIG and tall.

What a wonderful feeling that must be! Congrats! Can't wait to have the same feeling in the future after I get approved!

You are doing great. Keep p the good work!
