I'm 3 months out. I went to the mall yesterday to buy slacks for work becuz all my pants are falling off me (size 12), and picked up some size 10s to try on....and to my surprise, the 10s were too big!!! I'm officially in a size 8!! All 4 pairs of slacks I bought were size 8!!! I haven't been a size 8 since .... Well, decades!! I went from a size 12 to size 8.... totally skipping size 10. So excited!!

I had an NSV yesterday. I bought size 14 jeans and they fit like a glove!!! Pre-op I was wearing tight size 20's. I love clothes shopping now, but to save money since I'm changing sizes so much, I've been going to thrift stores and outlets. Even my feet are smaller!!! I don't have to look for wide fittings now. These last 3 months have been amazing!!!!!

I use to HATE shopping for clothes, too! It was sooooo depressing and I would just hate myself after trying on clothes and looking so frumpy!! Shoe shopping use to be a chore too, looking for a 6.5 wide. Now, I can wear a 5.5-6 (no wide)!! All in 3 months!! Can't wait to see what the next 3 months has in store for me! :)

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
