Thank you! I actually felt great in it! My husband was in awe! Lol

When was your surgery date and way to go look amazing Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App My surgery date was 3/16/16. SW 256 CW 189

Wonderful! How much weight are you down? I'm down 66lbs so far. 4 1/2 months out.

Haha my husband said the same thing. He's like isn't that the dress everyone was debating about?! Lol guess it's still popular I also feel like an imposter in the standard size stores also. I still feel like people will stare at me and be like whys this girl shopping here? I also have a hard time dressing myself because I really started packing the pounds on at 27 transitioning into wife and mom phase, so now at almost 33 I know that I shouldn't be looking at the junior section even though I think some things are cute but in my head I'm like am I too old for this look? lol

I was a 40ddd now I'm a 36ddd 4 months out. I definitely want a reduction and lift!

I can't believe I've lost a total of 39 inches in 4 months and I started measuring after I lost 20lbs!

Uh yea! You look great! I see a huge change! Keep it up! I keep body measurement also, it helps when you don't see the pounds coming off but the inches coming off! I've been terrible myself about working out. I think I'm finally comfortable getting a gym membership now.

One of the main reasons I had the surgery was when my 5 year old daughter asked me innocently why Her and her sisters and my husband's bodies were "straight" and mine was "bumpy". That was my confirmation that I needed to commit to this surgery.

Feeling better makes it all worth it! I am being patient. I know I have a long way up hill right now. I'm surprisingly patient. lol. I'm trying to convince my sister to do this with me but I think she doesn't think she will lose much. I hope she changes her mind. It would be nice to have someone close to go thru this with. That's what this site is great for! Patience is key! I wanted to give up a few times, I felt like I had so many medical clearance requirements and having a full time job, 3 kids 5 and under seemed impossible but I pushed through it. I finally did something for myself and you can do it! Don't get discouraged by the numbers! Feeling better makes it all worth it! I am being patient. I know I have a long way up hill right now.

I probably had a 50 inch waist before I actually started measuring! But it's okay. What seemed so far away prepping for 7 months before surgery numerous doctors appointments, losing my old job because if it was all worth it for me! I have never felt better!

I'm officially in Onderland!!! I weighed myself this morning and I'm 199lbs! High weight 3/9/16-256lbs (before 7 day liquid diet) Surgery date 3/16/16-246lbs Current weight 7/3/16-199lbs Goal weight 145lbs 57lbs down 54lbs to go!

Thank you ladies! You are all awesome! I'm having a good week! Down to 195! Closer to goal everyday!

60lbs down as of today! 4 months post op Start weight 256 Current weight 196

That's awesome Marie! I also want to take advantage of the honeymoon period. I know the next 2 months I can lose another 20 lbs before it really starts slowing down and I would be okay with that!

Thanks for the motivation! I'm excited to be on this journey with such inspiring people!

4 months out and I feel good! down 60 lbs as of today! 256 to 196!!

You have dropped almost 100lbs in 7 months! Let that sink in! That's amazing! You are doing great. You will continue to lose but it won't be as quick as before. have you been exercising ?
