Today I went to Old Navy, and I went for the XXL pajamas as per usual and when I tried them on they fell off!!! I bought them in XL and they are even big...just wanted to share it was a fantastic experience.

I also made an incredible dinner:

I took my slow cooker and added:

2 chicken breasts

1 Can of Black Beans

2 cans no sodium crushed tomatoes

2 Tsp Cumin

a couple dashes of hot sauce

Chili powder

I left it for the day and when I got home I shredded the chicken with a fork. It was a shredded chicken black bean chili. I sprinkled cheese on for the husband and put it on rice for him. For me it was just plan and it was very tasty!!

Congratulations... It is such a great feeling isn't it. Keep up the gr8 work...:biggrin:

I cant wait to exsperience shopping your style!!! BTW thanks for including that recipe,,, I think I will make it for dinner this week :biggrin:

Hey there.

That's awesome news! Congratulations.

It's great to hear stories like yours. I've only been banded for a week and a half and have a little bit of lingering discomfort at the band site still. Hearing about great days like yours really helps to keep up the spirits while enduring the healing process and nothing but liquids!

Thanks for sharing the positive news!

That's great, soon you will be sleepy in something 'SKIMPPY'

I think we all need more good news on here!!! Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I will admit I have good days and bad days gains and losses however as long as you stick to it the results will come.

As far as my port it hurt for a good two months after surgery and I could not sleep on my stomach without my pillow however it has since gone away. I think it is because you can easily feel my port under my skin? Not really sure.

Congrats! I can't wait until I change sizes...whatever they are. Thanks for recipe too.
