I am 2 1/2 weeks post-op. I am down 36 or 37 pounds. My boyfriend said that he can really notice a difference in my face, but I haven't noticed anything myself. I haven't left my apartment since surgery & have limited my wardrobe to pajama or yoga pants. Today I decided to venture out because my puppy ran out of treats last night. I decided to make myself presentable for the general public. That's when I got not 1 but 3 surprises. Surprise #1 my jeans were loose at the waste! I had to roll them at the waist once so they wouldn't fall down. Surprise #2 I put on my shoes & THEY were loose! I didn't realize that my feet had gotten fat too! I got to my car & that was where I got Surprise #3. I usually have my car seat moved all the way back so that I can fit in the seat belt & not have the steering wheel sticking in my stomach. I can always tell when my boyfriend has used my car because when I get in I am all smooshed up & have to readjust the seat & the wheel. Today when I got in I could tell that he had used my car, but I only needed to move the seat back about 2 inches. I am officially shrinking! The scale hasn't moved in the past few days so, I really needed today. What a great day of surprises. I look forward to many more to come!

GO GO GO DEE DEE!!!!!! Feeling fantastic today! I am soo happy for you and keep up the good work!

Awesome!!! Got to love surprises like that! Keep up the amazing work!!

Thanks! It does make me feel like I want to get out of the house more. I am only 2 weeks post-op & am limited at the gym. My gym does have an indoor track, though. I live in upstate NY & the weather is too cold for outside walking. Seeing the progress I have made in such a short time without exercise makes me want to move!

Well keep it moving. If you are familiar with Leslie Sansone, she has some awesome DVD's where you "walk" in the house. Some of them are 3 and 4 miles long and trust me, they give you a great workout. I purchased mine from a friend but amazon and walmart sell them.

Keep up the good work and once I have my surgery I will be sure to look for you for some inspiration!

Thanks for the tip. When is your surgery?

To the OP you mentioned that you have a puppy. Well your puppy needs to go for a walk EVERY day. You should put this into your daily routine: you need to bundle up and dress for the weather, it was 36 degrees where I live and I just bundle up and go!! You will start to enjoy it and your puppy will for sure too!!

Congratulations on your shrinkage!

ah Im delighted for you x

Loved your surprises! Thanks for sharing

Congrats! Wait till your wedding band falls off your finger. I literally stepped out of my shoe one day. So much better than trying to find a pair of pants that's big wnough isn't it?

Definitely much better than struggling to find a pair pants that is big enough. That's funny that you stepped out of your shoe. lol. I can't wait to get back to wearing high heels. As far as a wedding band, I don't have one. I've been with my bf 6 years, and I still haven't given up hope for that shiny stone. Maybe by the time I'm at a healthy weight.
