Oh were do I begin....So I decide again go through my "old" jeans that are in many of the totes in my bedroom. This was last night at 4:30am.. well technically this morning. I tried on a smaller size, and sure enough THEY FRICKEN FIT ME!! I'm so geeked!! I feel like a fat kid in a candy store right now. I'm down 108 lbs as of yesterday morning, and down 3 jean sizes....and life is GRAND!!! I could not be any happier.. well I guess I could.. but at the moment.. nothing can ruin this high I am feeling... I LOVE MY RNY!!! Now if my broken foot would heal, I could walk walk walk. I am doing as much as I can with my weights and my exercise ball. It's not alot, but it is something. Better than sitting on my duff doing nothing. Did I mention that I love my RNY????

Congrats, Jodi

Your progress is inspiring! I had a similar experience yesterday when I tried on my 'skinny jeans' (which haven't fit for 5-6 years), and they buttoned! Last week I had several inches to go, this week no problem. Jeans are the perfect gauge, aren't they?!

Hello.. thanks for the reply. I did check out your blog, and funny thing is.. we are now in the same size. The jeans I am now in are 26's. Just about a month ago, I could not fit in my 28's, even the streatch jeans. I now fit in the streatch 28's and "normal" 26's. I hate streatch jeans... ICK! but will take them and wear them when the others are dirty. :O) This surgery is SO wonderful. I'm so glad I made the right decision to get healthy. I soon will post some before and after pic's. I'm just a chicken. LOL..but will come out of my shell sooner or later. Thanks again for your responce!

Isn't it amazing, how we agonize prior to getting the surgery ~ is this the right decision, can't I just give it one more try on my own, what if I fail with this also??? And now at the other side ~ this is the best decision I have ever made for myself, I so wish I could have done this sooner! I know that I contemplated surgery for 10 years, but the two times I went through the consult prior to actually moving forward, it just didn't seem right. I don't second guess those decisions, because there have been significant medical advancements over those 10 years, but I would have liked to be getting healthy at 31 instead of 41 ! My blog....yeah, I haven't done much there. I was never the kind of kid who kept a journal, and I don't know how much I have gone through that would be helpful to others. I made the decision, the insurance went through no problem, got the surgery date right away, went to Europe for three weeks, came home and had the surgery. Really no struggle ~ it almost seemed too easy when I read of others horror stories. Hey, get those pictures up!! You can always change them out. I had a hard enough time even finding pictures ~ I avoid the camera as though it is the plague. Personally, they are a good reference for me, because I have such a distorted body image. I grew up skinny, and I just don't see myself in those 350-370# pictures. It is weird. I've been obese and gaining for 20 years, but I am still amazed when my ass can't squeeze through something because it is so much larger than my perception. Get that foot healed up, and we will make plans to go hiking!
