Bought tight 16 jeans about 3 weeks ago. They were bogo so I got a 14 too. I noticed the 16 was a little baggy by the end of the day and said what the hey! Tried on the 14 and they're a little baggy too! lol so I'm in a 14! (originally a 22 4 months ago!) grandmother picked me up a medium top last weekend and it fit. Thought it was a fluke. Got a medium top for me yesterday, tried it on today and it fits!!! (originally an xl-xxl) I kind of want to leave the giant sizing stickers on to show what size Im wearing and how much I've lost lol Also bought my first ever pair of skinny jeans! They never fit my calves and looked wretched. I make em look gooooooood now hehe

You look great, Congrats!

Last pic obv not me, but I love it and wanted to share

Whoa. Girl, you look HOT!!! Cool shoes too!

Love the 'fat girl!!' So true!! Thanks for sharing!

Shoes-Payless $25! (also got sneakers for 13$ cause they were bogo) needed new ones since my feet shrunk too hehe

Awesome! Looking good! Congrats on the victory.

You look great another inspirational post-op'er for us pre-op'ers

That's great! You look so good. You were pulling the glasses look off :-) Im still on the soft Protein /mushy stage. Still adjusting to everything. 4 weeks post op. It's been a smooth ride so far. Hope to have the same success as you!

It's tough to adjust to and can be draining physically and mentally. Eventually you'll be able to eat anything and everything, and go back to the "open the door, nothing looks good, close the door. Open the door again like something delicious appeared, still nothing. Go to the cabinet, nothing. Back to the fridge!" Lol hard because you knowwwww you have to eat for protein and whatnot, but you're not really hungry. Oi vey!

LOL I know exactly what you mean about opening and closing the fridge! It it becoming a challenge, I'm trying to find more choices of high protein food..I can't even look at a shake right now, and I have enough yogurt for an Alaskan winter! Oh well, this is what we signed up for, right? Have to just do it for now
