I am so excited. I got up this morning and weighed myself. As I was getting ready for church this morning my mom pulled an old skirt of mine out of the closet and asked if I want to try it on just to see if I can fit into it. I told her no at first because it was a size 22 and I wear (or so I thought) a size 26/28 in skirts and pants. I couldn't believe it! I slipped it right on with no struggle. We were so excited. I can't believe I am actually losing weight . I haven't felt this good in years. I was a size 22 before I got pregnant. I have 20 more pounds to lose to get to my pre-pregnancy weight of 278 lbs. That will be my next goal. I also measured myself. I have lost 2 more inches from my waist (4 total) and 1 1/2 inches from my legs. I just can't wait until I reach my goal. I see that I can really do it now. I go in for surgery at 5:30 tomorrow morning.

Congrats! This is a very exciting experience. The one thing I wish I had done was documented my progress monthly through photos. Have fun getting into old and new clothes.

thats so awesome! congrats girl!!! and just think this is all BEFORE your surgery! I can't wait to see your sucess after the band! :ohmy:

I am extremely nervous about the surgery tomorrow. I just want everything to go smoothly with out any complications.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!! I know it will go smoothly. My surgery is tomorrow also--I have to be at NYU at 1:00. I am excited and am extremely nervous!!

Good luck--

Good luck to you also Kkarryall.

Greatly Blessed and Kkarryall: You will be in my prayers tomorrow. I had surgery done on June 6th and it went really well. Small amount of pain, only had to take one dose of the narcotic. You guys will do really well.

Gods Blessings
