Holy cow am I excited! I didn't intend to buy a pair of pants today but I just wanted to try on a couple to see where I was at. I went into a local Farm and Ranch store and spoke to the gal there. I showed her what I was dealing with I'm told her what size I was and that I was tired of looking like I was wearing a diaper on my ass everywhere that I went. She suggested based upon my current size that I go to 35x30. This lady is absolutely insane was my freaking thought! Imagine my surprise when they were actually too loose! I needed a 34x30! Several weeks ago I got out of my van at a customer's place and my shorts fell off my butt. I really didn't think that I was quite this far along. I will officially be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I've lost 7 pounds since Monday! I'm down 47 pounds since starting my pre op diet on 8/29. I'm officially the lowest weight that I've been in mt ENTIRE adult life at 265 pounds! It was such an adrenaline rush that I actually bought the dang pants even though I wasn't intending to.

Last weekend with my diaper ass Levis.

Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(perhaps to many exclamation points? Heck no!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

@highfunctioningfatman, just wanted to say your post was adorable! LOL. I'm so happy for you! You are justifiably proud. Now go rock them jeans, you stud!

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.

U always make me laugh....and the new jeans looks great. Congrats!!!

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!

You are doing awesome! Congratulations!

BACK AT YOU!!! that is AWESOME!!! good for you!!

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.

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

Keep on killing it, man !!

You are doing great.

That's fantastic! Congrats

Thanks! I have no problem talking about anything and everything. Yes the roids are gone! I increased my Fiber and made sure to camp in the bathroom (much to the dismay of my coworkers) until the poop comes out instead of trying to power poop and get back to work.
