Congratulations Jenn!!! It's those kind of moments that keep us motivated! I had a similar moment this weekend. After my surgery, mom mom had bought me some clothes to "shrink in to". Pre-op, I was a size 28-30 also. My mom had bought me this really pretty pink frilly dress in size 26. I was trying on some of the clothes she bought me just for fun. The dress fit!! I wore it to church yesterday and she called me before church. I told her that I was wearing it and she started crying! Weight has just been such a struggle my entire life! It's such a relief to know that if I follow the Dr's orders, I can finally have victory over this issue!

Awww :) thanks for sharing we have such similar stories. That little milestone was amazing and unbelieving because just like you I put them in just to see and they fit! I kept looking at the tag like really? Following the rules and doing all I can to stay focused pays off. Looking forward to shrinking down to a smaller jean size :)

I know how you feel went out and had to buy new pants for work.

My wife bought me a new leather jacket 2 sizes to small now I got something to shot for and at this pace will be warning it by November, and it didn't come from the

casual whale shop I now hate that store.

Let's keep the good feeling going

I did also. I got a size 10 pants waiting for me to fit into it & size 7 but I dont think I will get that small since I only need 14 more pounds.

I love the feeling of fitting into clothes!!!

I was my highest in a size 22 in April, and am down a full 25 since surgery 4.5 weeks ago - total of 53 pounds!

I *just* went through my closet and drawers this weekend because I realized my jeans were getting big... for shits and giggles I took out a pair of my 18's to try on and maybe hang up as "Motivater" clothes - and they FIT!

I then proceeded to go through my entire wardrobe - most of which I have not worn in over 2 years - AND ALMOST EVERYTHING FITS!! I can't even talk about how exciting it is to have a choice in what I wear again - not just "this is what fits". =D

For my birthday at the beginning of the month my mom who everyone by now knows is 2 years post bought me cloths 2 things for every size going down. I was a 28-30 pre surgery and still wearing everything. And she started at size 24 at first I was discouraged... Like really? Jeans that don't give? Ugh..... I pulled them up and OMG they fit. I haven't been this size in who knows when. I don't even remember! I feel like a million bucks right now in jeans. Still have a long way but this is my moment.

Sorry had to share! I just called my mom lol HAPPY FRIDAY!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
