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 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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
