If it wasn't for the fact that I "poof" out at my stomach when I sit I would be quite comfortable with a 2xl shirt. I've lost 18 3/4" between my chest, stomach, waist, biceps, thighs and calfs. In my chest, stomach and waist I've lost 14 1/2"!

I'm back at work today and it sucks because after yesterday's experience getting into my work clothes is such a bummer! I'm wearing a 4x shirt and 40x27 pants. If I had real legs I'd be pushing 6' tall!

It appears that I spoke too soon! This is my 2xl work shirt and 36" pants. I'm also in the last notch of my belt. The blurs are because my company doesn't want anything on social media of any kind.

I dug up some old pictures. The first one I was 13 and in scouts. That damn pack weighed just over 100 pounds, I weighed 225.

The second one was probably the best shape that I was ever in, I was 19-20 at that point. I'm on the right up against the Toyota. My best friend Casey is sitting on the Dodge.

Absolutely brilliant - new jeans are looking good.

I've never worked out why guys seem to lose their backside ahead of almost everything else but that's the way it looks ;)

I never had a butt to begin with so I was quite surprised to lose there. Now I have a boney butt and with the rest of my gravity pushing down on what is left of my butt, it hurts!

A bony backside has to be the worst part of the whole weight loss thing I can sympathise with you on that one crunches at the gym kill my poor unpadded posterior ????

I fell hard two weeks ago while out with my granddaughter in the garden. Hard impact between my now very boney ass and the ground. Ouch!

And today, I was walking and realised that my sweats were literally falling down. Couldn't believe it.

Well done for getting some new jeans!

I just keep wearing too big clothes then realising that I really am that small.

Mind blowing! Congratulations!!!

@, I think you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Work clothes, especially uniforms, tend to run really small for my husband. Your street clothes are going to be a better NSV for you.

Also, I want to say that I always enjoy your posts. You have a great sense of humor and positive attitude. I know you are going to do great!

@

After laughing hysterically for some time at your "Sausage kicked my ass..." comment (I've had a hard day, lol), I strolled on over to check out your profile to find discussions about roid rage, dropping your pants and being butt-less.

Seems you are the butt of quite a few jokes.

Thank you for brightening my day and many congrats on the new jeans and work attire. Awesome job. :D :rolleyes:

Ps. I hope that witch hazel did the job coz roids are a pain in the... (been there, had surgery, worse than childbirth, lol)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
