I could not find our old topic. Today marks 2 months from sleeve day and I am officially 47 lbs down! It feels great! Sometimes I feel like I am losing so slow and then Ill just drop 5-10 pounds all at once. Ill start doubting myself but then I read these forums and find out I am right on target. I was wearing very tight size 20s before surgery and yesterday I bought 3 pairs of perfect fitting size 16 dress pants from goodwill. Yay! I tried to make those 20s last as long as possible but the other day when I came in the house with hands full my pants were down to my ankles by the time I got to my kitchen to set the stuff down. So I knew it was time to move it on! Getting closer and closer to onederland.....havent been there in 9 years...best decision I ever made. It hasnt been easy. I actually am about 1.5 weeks out from gallbladder surgery. I have been severely nauseous since Dec 13th when my gallbladder decided to go out. Then while investigating my gallbladder they found cancer in my kidney. So in a month when Im recovered from gallbladder I will have my third surgery in three months to remove my kidney. So no exercise yet...seems I have had a new surgery everytime I get released. BUT I do not regret anything. I feel so blessed to be moving towards health and am so thankful that my sleeve helped lead to finding the cancer very early. I look very forward to my body normalizing after gallbladder (still staying sick some). I look forward to being able to workout and tone. And I also look forward to these 16s I just bought hopefully pooling around my ankles in a couple more months

Awwww good luck in ALL u do....sorry to hear about the C but u can handle every thing thrown your way...With positive energy and prayers all will be well...I'll keep you in my prayers....i had a good laugh about your pant...thats a good thing... Continue success in your up coming surgeries...and see you on the skinnier side....Am five weeks out and the weight is falling off slow but sure....heres to my pants falling to my ankles

Pants fell down carrying a bunch of stuff. I hate to laugh, but I chuckled.

That's a good indicator that your losing.

Congrats on the weightloss.

It was pretty comical. I was just glad I was home alone and my kids didnt have to get embarrassed witnessing that. Lol

Cheers to pants falling down! I'm a happy November sleever as well. It drives me simply mad to see those who wear the low sagging pants...that being said I work in the far back of a huge warehouse. In the morning as I walk to my office I feel my pants slowly slip step by step. I'm constantly pulling them up. I would simply die if they dropped to my ankles. I started out in a 26-28 and I found a pair of jeans in the back of the closet that were 20s and I bought a size 20 !skinny jeans last week. I have been washing everything in. HOT and everything goes in the dryer. I am holding out as long as I can to buy very much for the closet. I'm down 33lbs from surgery which makes it a total of 69 thus far in my journey. I started at the gym last week. And I am simply thankful for every step of my journey. I agree positive thoughts, energy, and prayer will get you through anything.

I too will have you in my prayers for happy health and continued loosing success!

Im sorry to hear about the cancer. I hope everything will be okay and you have a speedy, painless recovery.

I'm down a total of 61 lbs. while I'm excited to be down, I keep getting this feeling I should be losing more. I know Rome wasn't built in a day so I keep telling myself it's going to happen just give it time.
