I actually like clothes shopping now and feel like I look like a girl.

I often say I feel like a girl now....hate that I spent so many years not feeling that way!

Yay for you! We wasted years didnt we?? At my appointment earlier today the nurse said "oh my gosh you look so young. Definitely not old enough to be Nick's mom." He is 22! I LOVE that people think this cuz I was so worried that post op, my wrinkles would really show and id look older. Glad thats not true!

I received the shoes I ordered last week in a one wide verses a double wide - stylish I have to say - yes my older shoes are too wide! :D

Completed day one of couch to 5k workout. I was able to run and complete the whole thing. This would have never happened before surgery. I would have given up after the first bit of running!

I shopped at a store in the mall called Vanity. I haven't been able to shop at a regular store in years and not only that but I wasn't in the largest size in that store. I'm fitting into "regular" clothes. I came home and weighed myself for the first time in like a month and I am down 20 lbs since the last weigh in and a grand total of 100 lbs today!!! Can't believe it! I'm so excited.

Does anyone else find themselves gravitating to the plus sizes by force of habit? I do it a lot. Then I catch myself and head to petites! Still can't get over me in petites! :-)

It's so hard for our minds to catch up to our bodies it seems. Today, for the first time, I'm wearing a size 6 pant and an x-small top. Who knew this was ever possible? Not me! (That little voice in my head just said, "yeah but the pants are kind if stretchy and the sweater must run large"). Whatever.

I went shopping for clothes this weekend. I came home with a bunch of great stuff, but complained to my fiancé that I couldn't find anything in the size I needed. He then asked me "were you looking in the plus size section or regular section?"... It occurred to me... I was ONLY looking in the plus size section when I'm down in NORMAL sizes again! Holy cow! I haven't gone to the regular womens section since 8th grade! I didn't even think to look there!!

This is so me. Always thinking the sizes run large. It is so hard to see me as who I am...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
