I can't help but grin....we lost our grandmother recently. Her funeral is this weekend. I want to look my best for her, so I had to go shopping. I haven't bought a dress in 5yrs. I'm in my 7th week post op. I have seen some changes, but I am loosing weight slowly. I went to the dreaded store today and to my surprise, I am a 22. Not a 24 or 26. I am smaller!! I'm 6ft tall, so a 22 actually looked decent! I might have slow loss, but I have loss! Yay! Sorry, had to share with people who'd understand!????

I get it. Congrats to you. You will keep on shrinking. Dont weigh each day. It can be a bit much. Trust you will lose and it will happen. So happy for you. I am 2 months post surgery and have 2 large garbage sacks full of clothes that are too big. It is friggen awesome!!!!

Well I have to say this was a bizarre lead in to good news! ????. I'm very sorry for the loss of your grandmother! That's great you are in a size 22! I bet that'll be big soon! To go down 2 sizes in 7 weeks doesn't sound like slow loss to me!

My weight loss on the scale is slow, but my body seems to be changing. It was nice to see a change. I just have to be patient.

Loosing my grandmother was horrible, but not sudden...she was 95. I will miss her horribly, but my change in size would have made her happy. I know it was weird to be happy looking for funeral dresses.
