Congrats!

You look fabulous and should be so proud of yourself. God's timing is always the best and I'm so glad you know that. : )

Great to hear this. I am 2 days post op. I'm uncomfortable with headaches and nausea. The pain isn't bad. It gets better each day always looking forward to feeling a little better tomorrow

congrats on your successes, you have been in onederland for awhile-you have lost almost 55 lbs - concentrate on that!!! when is the last time you were under 200 lbs??? we all lose at our own pace - this is not a race - you have your whole life ahead of you - slow and steady..... remember, its AGAINST the LAW to compare your weight loss, time it is taking you to lose weight, don't ever ever compare to others you've made a couple of oooops, oh well - every day is new-you can do this-stay on program, drink all your water always-- be strong (how's this for tough love)!!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!

Ahhh.. to be at goal weight.. what a treasure that must be... So happy you are there..an inspiration.. you are!

You handled that with such dignity! Awesome.

Jennie, I feel your pain and your anticipation of what is to come in the next several months. As a guy, I am not a big clothes hound, nothing like my wife anyway who sounds quite a bit like you with clothes. Anyway, I had surgery 4 months ago and Sunday was the first time I went through my closet to clean house....it was eye opening! As I pulled each item out, dress clothes, sweaters, sports jerseys, jeans, etc, I was shocked and appalled at how big I was just a couple months ago. What I was not expecting was to see all of my favorite "go to" clothes be stuffed in a trash bag to be sent to Goodwill. This also included my winter coats that I could wrap around my body 1 1/2 times. My first impression is "holy $#!%, I have to replace my whole entire closet for the most part, that is going to be expensive!" Then I thought how great it is to be able to shop in the normal section of the store rather than try to find those one or two things that I feel might fit and look ok on me. I completely decimated my closet and I realized just how few clothes I have left now that all of the "too big" stuff is gone! One of the greatest "victories" I have experienced because it was very visual. Jennie, you will be utterly shocked when you try on the clothes you are setting aside for the spring! Even if you feel they are too small for you now, you may be surprised and you will find them way too big when you go back to them. I had this happen with a few items that my wife bought me that were too small to wear prior to surgery. I never wore them because I missed that window of opportunity between too small to way too big. You have no idea how being AVERAGE or NORMAL can feel so good. It may seem like a weird thought right now but you will know when you hit that point and it is nothing short of amazing!
