Weighed in at 396. Found myself wearing jeans after 3 years using sweats. my wife is making fun because it looks like cats and dogs fighting in the back of my pants, because its so empty with space. lol. she's telling to buy some new clothes, but im so cheap, i actually still have the clothes from when i was 22. i just turned 39. SMH. yeah. i have clothes that are still 17 years old. but im still super happy im getting down so quickly.

And I am now a 20 going into an 18 soon,224 pounds after 8 months, I have not been This Small since I delivered Tomkitten, my son, and he will be 40 on June 12th, I actually have dress slacks that fall off my body, I am No LONGER in the largest size at Wal-Mart and other stores, and the smaller I get the more plentiful the selection of styles. And I have revenge on my Late Husband, who I call the Late Lamented or Dear Departed on here, he preferred me in subsided colors or black/navy blue, guess he thought my weight would. look less obvious, well I now have 2 pair of size 20 floral print dress slacks, a pair of pale orange sherbet and seafoam green and spectators tell me I have lost weight and they look fine. After years of Sir MixALot and Baby Got Back this chich is merely rounded and flattening nicely. My looks have changed facially,i have gone from round chubby to lean, angular and high cheekbones, don't know what relative I will end up looking like but I sure don't Look like ME! But It Is All Good, and I rather enjoy it all.

@cristobal

you are doing soooooo great!!

as far as being Mr. Cheap!!😉 - check out thrift shops et al, not too expensive

as you loose weight, you NEED/must buy new clothes - otherwise they will fall

off you!! Sight for sore eyes🤣. (never know when/where the clothes police are lurking)!!

Be happy that you need new clothes, shows that you are getting smaller and smaller

We will be seeing less and less of you by your 40th b'day - great present!!

keep up the great job while your weight goes down

continued good luck

kathy

congrats

Hey, I know the feeling! All of my clothes now hang off me like sacks, and I have worn out the one pair of leggings that I had until holes came in the crotch area of them, LOL. I finally broke down and bought a couple new pairs of leggings, but I don't really intend to buy much else until I've lost even more weight.

I will just have to deal with the clothes being two to three sizes too big or more. [emoji14]

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
