I'm wearing yellow scrubs at work (smalls)!  Also wearing size 8 jeans and mostly small sizes (some mediums).  Losst 91 pounds so far and feel great! 

I'm into brown scrubs at work now (size medium)!  I am also wearing a size 12 as well as medium tops, in most clothes, now!  I had a great time in Chicago shopping at Victoria's Secret for medium-sized panties and makeup. Walking around the shoppes in Chicago was effortless. 

Still going in the right direction!  Wearing a size 14 comfortably...even wearing a slightly smaller shoe size!  Size 16 is too baggy...all my old clothes fall off me...have donated most of them.  The white scrubs at work are really starting to get baggy, also...will be in a brown scrub soon (size medium).  It's so nice to be able to shop at normal stores.  I do have some minor hair loss and still take iron supplements, but I feel these issues will resolve and are a normal part of the relatively fast weight loss process!  It is so worth it...I would have this surgery again if I had to.  I've never felt so free and good in my life!

Still losing!  Down 56 pounds...4 months out (almost).  From a size 22/24 & 3 XL to a size 14/16 & L (sometimes XL)!!  I feel amazing, but am a little anemic so am taking iron supplements. 

Down 37 lbs and wearing "white scrubs" at work (aka. size large) and XL warm-up jacket!!  I used to wear "green scrubs" (size 2XL) and a 3XL warm-up jacket.

Had a good appointment...everything is going well.  I can eat regular foods now and my next post-op appointment will be the end of August or the beginning of September.  I will also have my labs checked in August, November, February, and May...then once a year if all within normal limits!!  I am officially in a size 18 Misses and XL. 

Still losing...down 28 lbs and 2 dress sizes (from a size 22 to an 18)!  I haven't actually gotten rid of any clothes from my closet yet, but I have bought some smaller vintage clothes and can fit into clothes that I've had in storage.  People at work have noticed that I look more relaxed, happy, and lighter.  My scrub size color is no longer green (2XL), but pink (XL)...now on to white!

Doing very well...okay to eat pureed foods, return to work without restrictions, and down another pound!  I can't complain...I survived anesthesia and surgery, remain free of infection, and made it through a 2 week recovery period...God is good!

It's been 2 weeks since I came home from the hospital.  I haven't lost as much weight as I had hoped, but I did lose 10 lbs before surgery and 9 lbs after surgery, so I'm pleased.  I feel less fatigued and am hoping to return to work (with lifting restrictions) next week.  Only 1 more week to go on the full liquid diet (thank goodness)...I've actually been a little bit hungry between meals, so it's probably time to increase to pureed food.  I've gone through some mental cravings, but am learning to change my habits and thinking...it will take time, but I can do it!

I came home from the hospital last Wednesday.  My main issue was extreme fatigue; I am still tired, but not to the degree that I was.  I'm getting used to the idea that I cannot take big gulps of water and other fluids...Thankfully I've had no complications.  I look forward to healing and doing some hardcore exercising.  For now I take short walks in/outside and get on the treadmill a bit.  But I also rest/nap alot too.  I'm on the full liquid phase and doing well with it.  I do miss solid food, but will be there when I'm healed.
