I had 63 pairs of shoes!! most all of them are too big now :-( I am so sad, and broke so I keep trying to wear them, and yes I have about killed myself a few times.

Oh my goodness!! What size do you wear? I could buy some from you, LOL!!

9-8.5

I gave many of them away, but I can look and see what is left.

I'm more like a 9.5-10. Darn!

I was an 11. I'll have to get measured for sure when I go to buy a new pair.

Thank you! I was 248 (October 7) the morning of surgery and I was 181 this morning. My weight loss is crawling now but I'm happy with where I am now. I'm 5'2 but really large framed. At my smallest I was still 150 so that's my goal. After three kids and being a size 20 - my 12s are glorious!

I was at work today and (I work with all guys in a warehouse environment) I've gotten a few "what are you doing? My wife is trying to lose weight" comments, but today our guy that doesn't speak much English from Ecuador came in my office to thank me for watching his kids at work for an hour when his girlfriend dropped them off. After much hand gesturing, he did the international sign for a curvy woman and smiled real big and said "¡Eres hermosa!" which someone told me is 'you're beautiful!' NSV! It was funny bc he's really shy.

We are almost identical! LOL! I was 249 the morning of surgery and I'm 282 but I'm about a size 14. I was a size 20 when I started too. :-)

I shared this on another forum as well and thought you all might want to see it. I've been pretty silently following you all and you all have been a major inspiration to me.

ASMBS (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) posted a really nicely done video that I believe provides some awareness to the use of bariatric surgery. I am a Registered Nurse who, in late October had Lap RNY done.

Best thing I could have done for myself. Six weeks after my surgery, I became a Bariatric Program Coordinator to help others on their journey and to quite honestly live and work this journey myself. I've also become a health coach for the same reason.

This video is one of the better ones that I've seen. Please share it:

Thank you for sharing the link, I loved it. I feel exactly the same way "BEST THING I DID IN MY LIFE" too. For the first time in forever, I too, feel like I am winning.

I am so happy for you. Helping others going through WLS, what a meaningful way to give back. Way to go girl.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
