I was incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful friend, who had lost a bunch of weight prior to beginning my own crazy journey. A couple weeks ago she offered all her 1X/20/22-size clothes to me, so I was able to completely overhaul my closet with clothes that fit properly! I was able to take everything but her pants....she's about 5'3" tall, and I'm just under 6'!! LOL (Talk about high-water pants!!) :)

I was a size 6 4 years ago, therefore I have size 6 through 16 ready and waiting for me. Before my surgery I organized everything by size, so as I start dropping the lbs I can go shopping in my basement. :-)

I SO tempted to buy a cute dress for our beach trip next summer! I've been browsing online stores and cannot WAIT to enjoy shopping again.

Although I have lots of clothes from weights gone by' date=' I too am going to buy something as motivation![/quote']

That's a good idea. I'm planning a cruise with my high school girlfriends next July. Hmmmm wonder what size I may be? Hmm

I bought this:) had been eyeing it for months. Went on sale when I got my surgery date 3 sizes were left: 18 (current) 10 and 0. I opted for the 10 as I won't be an 18 much longer and 0?...ha! Lol

I have never been a size 14 either and I bought a ca-yute zebra print silk dress from H&M a few weeks ago. I bought it as a goal dress and just for kicks tried it on. It fit! A little snug though. My body is weird. I can wear a 16 or 14 dress but I can't zip up a pair of 18 bootcut jeans. So my goal is a size 14 in jeans/pants. I hope I will be that size at 190 (never been under 200 as an adult either).

      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... :(
