5-1/2 Months Out...75 pounds down... 3 pounds to goal weight!

Hey everyone!

I simply cannot believe how time flies. It seems like yesterday I was still contemplating surgery and going to my first informational meeting. At that time, my biggest goal was to fit back into my size 14 Old Navy jeans I've had for 10 years. Well, I've quite surpassed that. I now wear a size 12 jeans (size 10 in dress pants), and can go as far down as a Medium in blouses. :D I can't express how wonderful it is to be able to walk into a store and go into the "regular" section. My biggest problem now is that size 10's and 12's are apparently very popular, because I have a hard time finding THOSE now.

Here's a pic of me the night before surgery (sorry it's so dark), and me last week. Someone asked me "Where did your booty go?" I told him it's still there, but considerably smaller.

Oh, my arms are terrible; hence, the sleeves! My tummy is pretty flat, but my upper thighs are saggy and wrinkly. Looks good in clothes, though! LOL

You look great & that describes me no ass now:)

Congratulations! You look terrific!
