2 month out update

Finally!! down 40!! 2 months out and I have to say wow! I have only had 2 episodes 1 dumping and one foamies and considering that is not bad at all.  I have bought myself new bathing suits I went from a 20-22 to a 12 the 14 fit really well and the 12 leave me room to lose!! LOL weird huh usually I would buy bigger in case I gained.. WOW... I also bought new jammies and I am into a Large at Sears. NO more plus sizes for me.( a little scary) I can wear a size Medium tank top from Old Navy, the Larges are too big. I took more pictures yesterday I will post them when I have them! People are really noticing the loss and so am I. One day this week i went out and kinda looked shleppy I thought I looked fat well I am but a thinner fat...don't ask head stuff! anyways, of course I bump into someone I went to high school with and have not seen in 6 months and she is like you look great!! I was like thnx.... so considering I thought I was having a "FAT" day I was still looking good, i guess. My hubby came home last nite have not seen him since 6 days post op and he said I looked great. not too enthusiastic but I think he gained what I lost. so how can he be happy for me? but  what can you do he wants a skinny wife... at all costs obviously....LOL k not getting started. well I guess the final thing I must say here is that I love My new way of life I don't feel deprived, I am excercising 5 days a week 1-2 hours each day, I feel great have tons of energy and feel this is the best thing I have ever done!! Have a great day!!!

Way to go,,,,,SKINNY.......I am sooo happy for you....I have my brother scanning some pictures for me a couple before and then I am getting my 2 month pics done this week.....KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.

Hey Crystal You are doing great too. I hope I see you July 12!!! Keep me posted and I can't wait to see your pics!! ciao

You are an inspiration!! Keep up the good work.  I haven't started my journey yet, but I can't wait.  Reading storeis like yours makes me more determined than ever to get it started.  Best of luck. Congrats on this and every milestone to come. Sheryl

Thank you Sheryl and good luck on your journey and know that we are all always here for you!!

Pretty cool. It gets better. Now,, can I offer a little advice??? Please remember to load up on the vitamins no matter how crappy they taste. Your levels will drop and your system will take it out of your bones until you are out of "starving" mode which you are never really in but your body thinks you are. kp

Hey KP!! Great to hear from you!! I am taking all vitamins plus a bit extra, I am getting used to the taste...LOL I am taking my calcium every day too and drinking prune juice... too otherwise big trouble...lmao I am eating and drinking all my protein and getting in all my liquids I am really following everything I have been told. Thnx for the advice !! I really appreciate any advice especially from those of you who are so much farther ahead of me!!

I am so glad you are doing so well. The first few weeks can be the toughest. I remember jumping around Target when I was able to get into a size 14 jean. It is an unbelieveable feeling to not have to buy in the plus size section anymore. I am so proud of you. Suzanne

HI Suzanne Thank you!! I can not wait for the day to fit into a size 14 jean.... it seem s like a miracle to me.... I am so happy I did this!! I am a bit freaked out though where do I buy clothes  and stuff?? being overweight we go to Lane bryant and places and they dictate what we wear now its like OMG!!! I can go anywhere.... too weird yet.... LOL I will get used to it... Thnx again

Are you kidding me?? LOL Shopping is so much more fun now that you can shop anywhere. It is also dangerous. I mean you can buy clothes ANYWHERE so you are sooo tempted to get stuff when you normally would have just walked away! LOL  I love to shop at Target, New York and Company, Aeropastle, Victoria Secrets, and JC Penney.  New York and company runs pretty close to size. There are some companies that their sizes run small. But Target is pretty good with sizes to, I just stay away from the juniors even though I am very drawn to their clothes sometimes. LOL Enjoy shopping! Don't be scared just enjoy it now!
