Hey, Paige!

I am 5 months out and doing really well. I am down 124 lbs since starting my preop diet and 89 lbs since surgery. I haven't really found anything that I can't tolerate... except I started having issues with protein shakes. So, I've given up on those and am getting my protein from solid food.

I have decreased from a size 30/32 to a size 20 or 22. Buying smaller sized clothes has been an experience since the sizes vary WIDELY the smaller they get. For example, I was trying on dresses yesterday for an event and I could fit in 16's and 22's from different brands. Skinny people should've thrown a fit about that years ago!

I feel great... better than I realized that I could! It's hard to fit OH time in my new schedule of work, home to change, gym, dinner, and bed. Hope you all are terrific!

wow, it took me a while to figure out who you were, you look GREAT!

Hi Paige - 5 months TODAY! I am down 74 lbs since surgery - and have been in a wicked stall for 2 weeks, I am within striking distance from onederland, so I can't wait to break this damn stall. I feel great, more energy than ever. I had to give away ALL of my old clothes - went from 22 pants to a 16/14 (depending on brand). I had to buy some new jackets for work, and I bought 2 blazers from BCBG that are so cute, and it was thrilling to be able to buy jackets from a 'normal' store. Anyway, you are doing GREAT! Thanks for checking in with the board. Keep up the loss - you look awesome!
