Yes! Feels wonderful! Went to Old Navy a couple days ago just to try on things for the fun of it because I could! :)

omg!!!! Success all over that's amazing I can't wait to get my life back and start this journey && actually be healthy and happy!!
Enjoy this journey! It's simply amazing. Is it easy- no but well worth it! I'm down 96lbs since my surgery 3.5 months ago. Best thing I've ever ever done (well minus my husband and kids). The confidence I have now- huge! I have bones in my body that I didn't know existed- well at least not for the past 8 years! Haha. But seriously soak this process in and enjoy the ride! :)
hats awesome thanks so much!!!

Protip: Find a high-end consignment (used) clothing shop and shop out of that as you're losing weight. There are wonderful choices out there that are a small, small fraction of retail. Besides, you won't be wearing some of these clothes for long.

P.S. I bought a St. John suit yesterday for $42. I bet that sucker sold for at least $1200 new. It's still in great condition.

I went shopping for jeans yesterday. I started with a size 16 (2 sizes down from my old size) and worked my way down to a 10 which was still too big. I sat down and cried. I am 56 years old and have not been a 10 since high school. It was a very, very weird feeling to me and I was completely overwhelmed. I actually left the store without buying a thing. So surreal, this new feeling. How does my head not see the amount of weight lost? I mean, I know I have lost weight, but my eyes just don't see how much, I guess.

I also can't wait for that. Right now I am at the stage of realizing that most of my clothes that fit before surgery are too loose and I am now able to fit into some of my old clothes that used to be too tight. I can't wait the first time I can shop in a normal size store.

It's amazing. I went from tight 3x and I'm currently in a large. Some brands I wear a medium. Being able to pick out of normal stores is so amazing to me.

I donated almost all my old clothing! I have to shop at least that the excuse I use! I love it when the choice is between a small and medium!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
