6 Weeks and doing great!

Tomorrow marks 6 weeks for me. I'm down 34 lbs and loving life (217 to 183). I spent some time this weekend cleaning out the closet and I already have 4 bags going to Good Will. Fortunately I have some smaller sizes that I never got rid of so I have some things to shrink into, but not much. Another 15 lbs and I'm going to have to shop. If someone would have told me late last year that in 4 months I would be feeling this good and having to purchase smaller clothes I would have laughed at them. I'm proud of myself for taking this step to improve my life. I'm down from a very tight 18 to a very loose 16, down 2 meds. with more energy then I've had in years. Here's to a brighter future.

Congrats! I'm also 6 weeks out and other than some nausea after eating pretty much anything, I'm doing very well (hopefully, this will pass soon). I had my 6-week post-op appointment yesterday and the doc was happy with my progress. This was definitely the right decision for me. :) I am no longer on any prescription meds and only take the Vitamins and supplements I need. Like you, I do have a few things in smaller sizes, but have been starting to pick up a shirt or pair of pants here and there. Even with a belt cinched up tight, it's become obvious that my pants are way too big for me now. It's a good feeling. :D

Congrats ladies, I'm reaching the six week post op point, and I too am feeling much better about my life and have lost a total is 22lbs since my surgery date 4/21. My clothing are much looser but not to the point where I need to buy new ones yet. Continued success to you on your journey to health and happiness!!!
