I see the surgeon this coming week. I'm excited, but freaking out on the inside. Hopefully I can get an early surgery date.

Well the jeans I have now started to feel a little big on me (I did lose 15 pounds since deciding to get the surgery) so I went ahead and shopped online for a new pair of jeans, the same jeans just in a smaller size. I noticed that the website was offering a pretty sweet deal where if you spend $100 or more you get $50 off. Well my jeans cost $54 so I thought it would be pretty dumb of me not to order a 2nd pair that would be practically free. The 2nd pair I ordered I got in a size smaller as I am anticipating losing more weight once I start the liquid diet and then after I am sleeved.

I wanted to inform all you women out there who are currently losing weight and going through jeans fairly quickly of this deal. It's on the Catherine's website and they are called 'right fit jeans'. It's not just jeans that apply to this deal though, it's almost anything on their website where your total purchase is over $100, you get $50 off. You have to type in coupon code NOVEMBERCA

Good luck!! Oh and the offer expires on Sunday.

Thanks, how thoughtful of you to share this tip.

I have mentioned elsewhere that my top weight was 330 and now I am at 240. A year ago I was at 210 but a new insulin regimen changed things.

I'm dealing, not 100% committed to the surgery but not yet approved, altho I expect to be this week.

I wanted to share a story. During one of my big weight loss periods, I bought a new pair of jeans in a new, smaller size. Then just a few days later, while standing in line to get tickets to enter an art museum, my pants fell down. Not al the way to the ankles, just down below my panties and I very quickly pulled them back up. The new size was only a few days old but I was losing so fast that the new pants fell down. Man, that was a good time.

I don't think anything (except maybe great sex) has ever felt as good as losing a lot of weight.

well, holding my newborn was a nice high, too.

But having brand new smaller pants fall down is right up there as fun for me.
