I went shopping with my kids on Saturday and my husband told me to go pick something out nice to wear at Lane Bryant! I found a shirt I absolutely LOVED & asked him to grab me a 18/20.  He brought the 18/20 & a 14/16, to which I said "I haven't lost THAT much weight yet!"

Guess he was right because IT FIT!!!  I even went back and got a couple more shirts!!! YAY!!! 

I also had to buy new scrubs for work before I could return!!! From a 3XL to a 1XL & the 1XL's feel  a little baggy!!! YAY!!!

Now if I could just get the message to my ASS!!!  No inches lost in my hips yet! UGH!

LOL! And it looks like we have lost the same amount! I have been stalled for almost 2 weeks! GRRR!!! I have had pneumonia so I have been told by the Dr no exercise for another 2 weeks until my lungs recover!  Soon I hope to be back on the Elliptical!!!

I know thats cool! lol  That sucks about the stall!  I feel like I've been losing slow but I haven't had a real stall yet so I don't mind. lol  Hope you get better soon, its best not to ru****  That way you can put 100% in when you're ready.  I have been lagging in the excercise dept, just walking.  When I'm cleared for excercise I think thats when I'll hit it hard.  Only 1 more week!!   We should keep tabs on each other!

I am SUPER excited for you!!! That is WONDERFUL!!!  I am finding in my pre op stage I am already swimming in stuff that once fit me with losing 30 lbs.  I can NOT wait to see how the rest of this journey of mine will play out.

I am super excited for you - Keep up the FANTASTIC work!

Sister I feel your pain in the ass area LOL!  I too have gone from 3x to 1x (some stores even the xxl).  My pants though, not so much :(  I've gone down recently to a 1x in pants but clearly my losing area is the upper body.

Congrats on the NSV, it's so awesome when we get to see the changes.  People are starting to really notice, i get a lot of comments like "wow you are looking great" and "I can raelly see you've lost a lot of weight".

What is odd is that I lost more pre op than post but only now are people noticing.  Oh well, I'll enjoy it :)
