Lauren congrats on the NSV!, Makes shopping a bit more fun.

Mindy you look great! I found a before Pic last night (the only one I think I allowed to be taken @a wedding) and I'm just SO reluctant to post before/after pics right now - You rock for sharing!

Congratulations, Laurend!! I hate to break it to you, but if you were wearing a 14W you ARE in regular sizes. That's easily a 14 or 16 depending on cut. And that's what they sell in REGULAR stores!!

It took me a long time to even FIND a before pic and when i did it took me a long time to post them , I had to feel good enough about myself , i think it was at about 50lbs I posted on here ?

Congratulations. Never having to shop in plus stores was my number 2 reason for getting the band. I'm in a 14 now and they get too loose in a couple of hours size 10/12 here I come!

I had a great NSV today too:)

We had a local "home show", where various businesses go and show their wares, well one of our compeitors went up to my son who was minding the show today, and told him, "Man, I saw your mom in here last night and she's HOTT", can you imagine your 34 year old son passing that remark on to ya, wahoo!

By the way, size 12 was my goal, not a # on the scales, love my new 12's and the new me, oh yeah, did I mention I'm 58, LOL.

Wow, this thread exploded while I was gone!

That is awesome!!! :wink: Wow if I was in 12's I would be content! I haven't been in 12's since maybe 4th grade, and they didn't have 12's.. i was wearin MEN's pants.

WE NEED PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :biggrin2:

I'll put 'em up as soon as I get them! My most recent ones were taken over Christmas, so I need to have some more taken. I just never remember to take my own camera when I go home for a visit, and I can't get any of my family members to email me the ones from their cameras (my parents are technophobes and my brother never remembers). :blush:
Thanks ya'll . Laruend I didnt mean to hijack your thread with my pics i hate when people do that .

I want to see your pics. this can be the " Look at my new jeans thread" LMAO

Mindy

Hey, hijack away, you look GREAT!

:smile2::thumbup::thumbup:

Yeah, I just never got up the nerve to go looking in the regular departments, for fear that I wouldn't fit. No fear of that now! :biggrin2:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
