week 14 - Today I put on an old pair of size 24 jeans that I haven't worn since maybe 2009? In October I was wearing a size 32 jean. I've only lost 2 lbs since New Years (urgh, stalls) but w...

A small NSV that feels huge - I was taking pictures of my niece last night and normally to get close to her level I just bend or crouch down. But I decided to sit on the floor instead, since I know I can get up...

oh my aching butt :\ - I by no means have a bony butt, but lately I can't sit for more than 15 minutes without my tail bone aching. It's especially bad in movie theatre seats and on hard chairs. I have a...

11 weeks - Eleven weeks out and 75 lbs lighter. I can't even begin to describe how amazing it feels. I'm finally down a pant, shirt and bra size (yay for new bras!) and I look much better ...

7 weeks - Wow. Seven weeks out and I'm down 56 lbs (including the 15 lbs I lost on Opti) So many things are changing. I'm gaining confidence where I never had it before. I've always been ...

going out to eat - petrified - Tonight I am meeting a friend for dinner for the first time since surgery 7 weeks ago. The only restaurants I've eaten at so far are Tim Hortons (chilli) and Swiss Chalet (a couple...

Week 6 vs about three or four days after surgery. Down about 54 lbs!

Hormonal. - Between my face breaking out worse than it ever did when I was a teenager, depressive/angry PMS starting a full two weeks before my next period is due, my ability to smell grease a...

Pre-op vs week 5 - Very close to 50 lbs gone, and there's not an enormous difference, but I can see it :)  

Pre-op vs week 5 post-op. I've had this striped shirt in the "donate"...
