I never dreamed I would say this, but I am dreading the fact that I have to go shopping this weekend. I am so nervous. I do NOT get on the scale. I only weigh when I go to the doctor for my check ups. I have put off shopping except for a couple of shirts here or there, but this weekend I have to do the dreaded.....I have to buy jeans. I have put it off and put it off, but I can't any longer. My jeans I have from pre surgery look horrible. I have lost 40+ pounds and a lot of inches. I was in a size 20/22 before surgery. I am going to start with 18's when I begin trying them on. I have bought 1 pair of 18 capris and they are super baggy now. If I can get in a 16...y'all will hear me screaming from Talladega Alabama. I have worked my butt off so I know if I do get into a 16 if it well deserved. I run/walk everyday...rain or shine and I do strength training as well. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I hope everyone is doing well and having much success.

I'm only about 30 minutes from you so maybe you will be successful and I'll hear you scream!

Maybe you are dreading it because of the limited choices you remember from your previous size....I bet you at least double your choices....unless you don't like a lot of choices then that would be bad... :rolleyes:

My wife was wearing 20/22 when she was sleeved July 8, 2013. She bought a pair of size 12 "goal jean shorts" around a month post-op. She is now in an 8 and they are loose!

Good luck on your journey...hope to hear you scream all the way in New Orleans! :D

it's about 30 minutes north of you. It's a really small town so you probably haven't heard of it if you haven't lives here long. It's just one county over from you.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
