Well I went into Old Navy the other day just to see if anything would fit.  I am down to a size 18 but an 18 at Lane Bryant is fuller than an 18 at Old Navy.  So for giggles, I took a pair of jeans, button down shirt and sweater into the dressing room.  How shocked I was when the clothes fit me and how thin I looked!! I could not get over how much smaller I have become.  My new clothes I bought are big on me know so I still think I look big, but this outfit really fit me well!  I ended up getting just the sweater but am heading back to get the button down shirt!  I am 4 months post op, feel GREAT and am down 60 pounds.  Now, when I see some of my other friends who have had it around the some time I did and they are down much more weight then I am, I get upset. But I try to remember that at least I am loosing the weight and not gaining any!!!
Saw my family for Thanksgiving. They have not seen me since pre surgery and what reactions I got when I saw them!  They could not believe the way I looked now.  That was nice to get positive reactions from them.  I got through Thanksgiving without any problems.  Had a minor case of dumping from some homemade hot chocolate my sister made but it passed!

Well I went to Dr. for my almost 3 month post op and I am doing great.  I was down 50 pounds but went to anther Dr on Friday and I am down 55 pounds.  I really feel great!  I do not mind telling anyone that I had the surgery.  I have begun working out.  I met a nice lady who had the surgery 13 months ago that goes to the gym where I go and she has been very encouraging.  I hope to be able to work out with her some.  


 

It is hard to believe that it is almost 3 months since my surgery.  I had a week of stalling at 45 pounds but this week I have picked up my speed.  I am now down 50 pounds!  I cannot believe it!  I don't see it though.  My clothes are big even the new ones I bought. I am able to keep down more things.  I know I have to eat slowly.  I can drink more now as well.  My new favorite food is South Beach cinnamon raisin bars.  10 grams of protein per bar.  I eat 2 a day!  Loving it!!!
