183lbs. People are really started to say stuff. Today a customer I dont even recognize asked me if I lost alot of weight. I have been telling people I am on south beach. I am just not ready to tell anyone about the surgery. I didn't want people staring at me and checking what I am eating and thinking that it taking too long. My brother-in law who knows, was like so what size are you now? That is not a proper question plus his girlfriend is a 2. He was guessing and was right but I didn't tell him. I still can not get used to looking in the mirror. I am about 5lbs from my all time adult low I tried on clothes from 10 years ago. I no longer have any clothes, everything is new. I bought a tight size 12 just because they buttoned!

11 Weeks Post-OP

191lbs I only need 1lb to half way! Atlantic City was great. I have figured out how clothes are sized. I started at a tight 20.
20
18
16
14 smallest at Avenue
18Largest in a regular department
16 I am now here. 16 in a regular clothes department. I can not believe the vast choices.I am now past the point where I would have to go up a number. It was depressing when I could where an 14 in the fat ladies department but If I wanted to go to the normal department I was an 18. I have lost weight in my arms, chest, butt and legs. That leaves the middle. I am wearing most normal department size XXL shirts but some still cling on the belly.

I went to a post-op support group this week. Only 1 other person was there who had surgery and 1 who did not. I really didnt think I would like it but it is amazing how similar we are. Since I did not tell many people about the surgery, It was nice to show my before and after pics and other stuff. I am on my way to Atlanic City now! 194lbs I feel great.

Onederland At Last!

Jul 19, 2007

Not even 2 months and I made it to Onderland. 198lbs 47 lost 8 pounds to half way. A strange observation, I got my hair cut so now people cant figure out why I look so much better so they tell me how good my hair cut looks. I have really only told a few people including my parents a 1 sister. My parents felt everyone should know in my family before I had surgery and now they are like you really dont ever have to tell anyone. I have to keep trying on clothes I have from loosing weight before because I have already missed a few items on the way down.

Onederland is so close now! I bought a Ladies t-shirt in old navy size XXL I was wearing a mens XXL. I felt like a woman again.

6 Weeks

6 weeks since surgery day, I have lost 38lbs. I sat on the grass and watched my nephews skateboard. I told my sister I would never have been able to do that before. My back would have hurt so bad and I really would have been uncomfortable. I got my hair cut and eyebrows waxed yesterday, I feel really good.


One Month Post OP

Jun 23, 2007

I had my one month post op dr visit. I am now 213lbs. 32lbs gone! I went shopping for shorts since I only had 2 pairs and one was seriously too big. Anyway I skipped a size, at kohls I went from a womens 20 to 16 and at avenue I went from a 18 to 14. So that will be my last trip into a fat ladies store! they dont make them any smaller. I feel good, so far the only thing I can not eat is baked potato. It did not want to go down and then came back up.
