Poking around in my closet last night, I put on my favorite Capri cargo pants from last spring......let go of the waist and they fell right off my butt. Like seriously...didn't even need to tug them...just wiggled a little and they slid off.

I giggled like a loon and called my husband in and showed him.

I remembered they took my measurements when I started at my group. I dug the paperwork out, and got out my measuring tape.

I've lost two inches on my bust.

One inch on my hips.

One inch on my neck.

And a whopping SEVEN inches on my waist:)

My cargo Capris were baggy...I was buying an up-size because of my waist. Waist reduced and the rest was already baggy. Off they fell:)

Am love, love, loving getting my waist back:)

What a sweet post @Tealael! One of the things that sabotaged me most in the past was not recognizing my accomplishments, so this is really nice of you.

That is awesome @Creekimp13! I looove when my clothes get too big. My bank account doesn't so much though! :lol:

I guess I will humble brag that I've just hit my 11 month mark and lost 130 pounds. My waist has gone from 52" to 33" I went from a size 3x to a L or M.

Thanks for letting me brag, I'm soooo happy! :D

I love the idea of this! There is so much we accomplish in small bouts and it all deserves to be celebrated!! I am getting sleeved tomorrow but I'm SUPER proud of myself for sticking to my pre-op diet while I was stranded in LA 3 days this week due to the storm on the east coast. Had to take an uber to the drug store to get Protein Drinks. lol.

Love this! I actually find everyone's bragging inspirational. Can't wait until I'm in the same spot as everyone else!

Thank you for the opportunity! :)

I am pre-op and halfway through the supervised nutrition visits and as of today have lost 50 pounds (I am a high BMI-er). I wish I could tell, but I don’t look any different to myself in the mirror. I am down a couple of sizes, though. Three more nutrition visits to go!

Love this post. Congrats to everyone! I was sleeved 12/27/17, and am down 15 pounds since my surgery and 43 pounds from my highest weight when I started all this in October. Yesterday, I took a selfie. Straight on. Not holding my phone up in the air to hide my double chin. And when I reviewed the picture- double chin was gone! I’m not gonna lie, I was pretty excited! Lol:)

Way to go @brightfaith! You sound like you are setting yourself up for great success. I hope your journey goes well.

I'm 16 months out but remember trying to slog through those pre-op appointments. Hang in there. You got this.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
