I will be 16 weeks post op on Wednesday 7/30. I began this journey in a size 22. I went this weekend to shop for jeans...Holy moly............................CAN YOU SAY SIZE 16????? I am so excited and overcome with joy. This has been a journey of ups and downs. It is the absolute craziest ride I've EVER been on. It is becoming more and more worth the "bad" parts everyday.

Yeah!!! Congratulations on getting into those 16's! But don't get too comfy - you'll be shrinking out of those before you know it too! You are doing wonderfully and you look SO happy in your picture! Wishing you all the best! Keep up the great work!

Thank you. I feel better than I have in a very long time.

Great job don't shop to much it'll be time for new ones in no time!

Good for you!

Good for you! You look great! Keep it up!

Woot woot!! That's so awesome!! That's what size I am in too!!! It's amazing!! I started at size 24! You look fabulous!!! Keep up the good work!!

Good for you! I am having my surgery in October - starting at a 20/22. You are inspiring. I CANNOT wait to fit into a size 16 again - hopefully by Valentine's Day!

Thank you all for the kind words. It was a very rough start for me, but this makes it all worth it. I had a tear in my stomach a month after surgery and had to have emergency surgery. So....I didn't get released to exercise until July 11th. The hard work is paying off.

You look amazing! Isn't it the best feeling but just wait next stop is size 12 misses. I know because I started at 22 as well and then went to 16 and then month ago I got in a size 12 misses. No more plus size for me. Keep up the good work and remember size 12 is right around corner ! It's an amazing journey we are on. Good luck to you !

Nice! I love those shorts. Keep up the good work.

Hey don't go shopping too fast u will need to buy again I used to go on the clearance rack but I loved buying smaller sizes I was a 22 also now I am 10/12's love it

I only tried them on. I didn't purchase any. I couldn't bring myself to purchase them. I am a very "tight wod" lol...I figured if I can hold out until at least October, I should be able to get hopefully a 12-14. I will definitely get some then. Thank again, you guys are super sweet and very encouraging. I wish everyone the best of luck.
