Today is exactly one month from my surgery and I must say that I'm very proud of myself. Two days ago, I realized just how much weight that I have lost. My co- workers have been teasing me about my clothes being big and encouraging me to go shopping. I refused to buy anymore clothing with a size that starts with a "2". I let go of all of my smaller sizes years, so I've been wearing what's in my closet. After being teased all day on Wednesday, I made a vow that I would go try on some clothes and if I could fit an 18, I would by clothes, but if not, I would return home with nothing. I went to Cato to check out the clearance rack and grabbed some items in 18. As I tried on the clothes and they fit, I almost cried in the dressing room. I never imagined that I would be at a size 18 in one month. I began my journey in a 24.......this is crazy!!! I love my sleeve and I will keep rocking it until the wheels fall off!!!!!

Stats:

Consult weight, Jan 2012- 282 lbs.
Surgery weight, April 2012- 267 lbs.
One month post op, May 2012- 241 lbs.
