@@Sajijoma I love what you have shared. This openess and progress gives me hope. I feel the same hesitations as my journey has just begun --like I will never make it like everyone else.

Thank you!!!!

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!

You go girl!!! This story made me so happy.

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'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!

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

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! 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

@@Sajijoma I'll be 13 months post op in 5 days. I was 450 at my highest, 387 on the day of surgery, 203 currently.

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.
