I Hit 50!!!
Age? No!!!! Pounds!!!! 8 of the 50 were right before surgery, but a pound is a pound and I am claiming it! So the total is 50 and after wls 42! I started out almost busting out of a size 24 and am in an 18 now! Thursday will be 10 weeks since surgery. While researching my wls, I heard a lot about how wls puts stress on a marriage. My thoughts on that ---I think if you have a good marriage, it makes it better. If you have a bad marriage, it makes it worse. My husband is really enjoying the extra energy I have from the pounds being gone!  I am also able to get my big butt up and do more with the kids. Every moment is precious and I don't want their lives to go by and me miss out, because of lack of energy.Goal weight.....hmmm....I set a goal at 140. I am starting to wonder if I set a realistic goal. Yes, of course I would love to be at 140, but is it realistic? Would I be too skinny? Can I obtain it...of course I can, but do I want to??? I am 5'6" and 3/4. Yes, I would round up to 5'7", but I slouched in the doctor's office, to make sure I would qualify for surgery. Guilty as charged!!! I didn't put sandbags in my bra, though!!! I saw that post and nearly fell out laughing!!! That is classic! There I go chasing rabbits again! Back to my previous thought...I have had 3 kids and my body is a lot different now than it used to be. i don't think I am going to concentrate so much on a goal weight, but more on the size I am in. I think (but I have the right to change my mind) that I would be happy in a size 9/10, at the very lowest a 7/8. Whatever the weight may be at those sizes. If I got any smaller than that, it may look awkward on my bone structure. WOW!!! I NEVER thought like this before wls!!!! I never saw these sizes as attainable! It is funny...when I go shopping now, I usually by pants that are too tight for me, because I know they will fit soon. The ones that fit, I stay away from, because I know that in a few weeks I won't be able to wear them! I did that one time during one of my "diet" phases and never made it into them! 2 Comment(s)

Hahaha I can so relate about the pants sizes. Nearly everything in my closet is a teeny bit too tight but like you said I just have to give it a couple weeks!
