5 months Post-op, 95 lbs Gone Forever!

Nov 11, 2009

I'm 5 months post op today and I couldn't feel any better, well maybe if I was on target with my protein intake.  HeHeHe.  But even with the lack of Protein I've been feeling great.  I can't believe it has been 95 lbs lost in 5 months!  Isn't that the craziest thing?  I still can't grasp the reality of it.  I sure did have a few WOW moments this past weekend when I went shopping for some jeans.  I was a size 26-28 before RNY surgery and before this past weekend I was squeezing into size 18.  I went to Target first to shop their clearance rack because their prices are great.  I grabbed a pair of jeans in size 18 and they were loose.  ???  I couldn't believe it!  I was looking good in a size 16, 16?  WTF?  I hadn't seen size 16 since I was a freshman in High School!  Size 16 stretch boot cut no gap waist jeans from Target are the best!  Then I went to Torrid because I had a $10 coupon I wanted to use and tried on a size 16 denim skirt.  WTF?  Size 16 at Torrid fit me a little loose.  I fit into a size 14 black stretch denim skirt!  Size 14?  I hadn't wore that size since middle school!  I got so excited I tried on a top too.  I figured a size 1 (14-16) would fit.  Nope, that was a bit loose.  A size 0?  I couldn't believe I was wearing a size 0 (10-12).  Pretty soon I'll be too small for Torrid.  When I went to the cash register at Torrid to pay for my top and skirt I was crying and laughing all at the same time, i was an emotional mess.  The cashier didn't know what to do or say,she was like "are you OK?"  I explained to her why I was so happy and she just laughed and almost cried with me.  I felt like such a fool when I got home but I couldn't control my emotions.  LOL!
