Wow moments and head issues

I got to go shopping for some new clothes on Sunday. I went to Sears, Lane Bryant and Christopher and Banks. It was the more fun and frustrating shopping trip of my life. Anyway, I was buying Med in Misses and size 14's! Holy #$^%! I was wearing a size 18 in junior high for crying out loud. How is it that I can be at the lowest weight I have been at in 20 years and I still feel HUGE? I don't see the changes myself and when I look at clothes, can't reallyjudge sizes anymore. I got a lot of nice tops at C&B as they were having a clearance sale. I had a friend go with me to help me and I think that was a good idea. I have also finally reached a weight where my knees don't hurt! That has been GREAT! I also have a LOT more energy than I have ever had. I just feel like I can keep going and going all day long. I was finally able to switch back to my Melaleuca vitamins and I think that has made a world of difference.

Now I am looking forward to being in Onederland! I am 5 lbs away from that. I have stalled for a couple of weeks now, so I am thinking I'll start going down again soon.

Congrats on your wow's. I funny how it takes awhile for your head to catch up with your body. I still want to reach for the xxl and xl only to go back and grab mediums. I still don't see it. Yikes But I feel great. You are doing fabulous!

Congrats on the WOW's...shopping will become more and more fun with all of your new options. Your head will catch up eventually. I always thought someone would come up to me and say I didn't belong in the Misses sizes. Funny....no one ever did! Speaking of options...GET THEE OUT OF LANE BRYANT!!! You have way more options than shopping at a plus size store now! If you're a 14 - you can shop ANYWHERE!!!

Have Fun!

How exciting to be almost to onederland! And even better, that your knees aren't hurting any more. Keep up the good work! By the way, what's special about Melaleuca vitamins? I'll have to go google to find out.

Hi Kristi! Melaleuca is a health and wellness company. They make lots of product: vitamins and supplements, healthy cleaning supplies, makeup and some other specialty items. I have been with them for 3 years now and love them. The vitamins have a patent pending fructose compounding that binds the vitamins and minerals to organic sugars for easier absorption in the body (very little sugar). They don't have the 18 mg of iron recommend by my clinic, so I take an iron supplement as well. I can honestly say that I notice a significant difference since going back on them a week ago. I am sold again! If you would like to know more I can connect you with someone. Just let me know!

Congrats on a job well done thus far!!! As I approach my 2 yr surgiversary I can tell you that the head games pop up from time to time. As a fellow WLS person has stated before, they didn't do head surgery!
Hang in Hon and Keep up the great work
