Thank you all! It really has been an amazing week for me, discovering I am no longer "plus sized". For all of you still waiting for that day, it will come and I look forward to reading your posts as well. I feel energized and jazzed to keep up the fight knowing I have conquered one of my biggest demons now. My next one will be getting to onederland!

Congratulations! Isn't that a wonderful feeling?!

The first time I fit into normal size clothing I thought it was a fluke, so I changed stores and went to a store that caters to younger people. No fluke, I fit into normal size's!!

I tried on 3-4 brands just to be sure. All but one fit, so that's as good as it gets for me.

I'm so excited for you. I started the exact same weight as you as well as being 3lbs over date of surgery weight as you. I'm only 4 months out but you are my inspiration!

Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

you will get there! I didn't really believe I would even though everyone was like "oh yeah, you'll make it". I had failed so many diets I had to actually staple extra pages to my survey at the surgeon's office documenting my efforts to qualify for surgery. To actually be "normal sized" it's like a dream. Now I can't stop shopping! post-258512-14736554061945_thumb.jpg this is a dress I bought yesterday. Still a little tight and it was a L, but in a month or so it'll be falling off. Ignore the pants, I was too lazy to take them off. Haha

I've got 3 months til my 1yr surgiversary. I'm hoping I can hit 199 by then if I work hard enough. It's my fantasy goal. If I don't make it, Imm not gonna cry, but I'm aiming for it to see if I can make it happen.

You do know my dear, that you've already hit your goal, right? That picture of the smiling woman wearing regular sized clothes is the epitome of success. Congrats once more. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
