just went to find some new pants and a top so that I have something that is "business casual" in my closet.. and pre op I was a 22/24 pant and GUESS WHAT?! size 18 pants fit me!!!!!! I'm SO excited! I'm still wearing a 1X top though (blame on my tatas hahaha) but I started at size 2- 3X tops pre op so I'm pretty happy about that! I know I have a long way to go but I'm on my way folks! SO happy I got sleeved!

the first pic is of me at Venice Beach just before surgery.. weighed 262 lbs there.

the next 2 pics I took today while trying on the size 18 pants!!!!!! YAY! today I am 3 weeks post op and weigh 235.. that's 27 lbs lost so far

I just realized the pics are little but if you click on them you can see the bigger version!

YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!!!!! So proud of you.. you look MARVELOUS

18 more days AND counting

Woo hoo!! That is awesome! You look wonderful!!

That is wonderful! You look great! I'm also almost three weeks out and I'm 17 lbs down since surgery and 26 lbs down overall and just knowing that they are never coming back makes me happy every day!

Congrats! You look amazing!

thanks!!! I am SO happy to see a change, especially since I didn't lose ANYTHING on the pre op diet LOL (story of my life) but it's been dropping off since surgery! I am currently in a stall for about 4 days-ish now but I'm SO not worried about it.

That's so awesome!! You face in the dressing room is priceless!!!

So awesome!!!!!!!!!! Great job!

Way to go you fabulous already. I am scheduled with Dr. Ponce de Leon in Dec. I noticed this is where you went. Please tell me everything about your experience. I am freaking out a bit. What was it like was there pain etc... What was it like to have the drain? Is there any way out of that part? Anything you can share would be great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to follow your success!
