Finally! Something For My Efforts



Recommended Posts

So I did not believe that I was losing anything during this stall. Today however I decided I needed some new jeans as mine were literally falling off. I went to a store and grabbed a pair of 16s. Which I could not get into at all for years. (I was a 18/20) needless to I did not buy that pair because they were $30 and I have a rule about pants. That they have to be around $20. Then my husband convinced me to go to old navy because they were having a sale. I tried on more pants and found 2 pairs for $18 each (Size 16!) and a shirt. Which by the way I got a large to fit!!! It was a dressy top too! I ended up buying a top for $8 that was an XL!! Before it's was a really stretchy xl or xxl. So happy! Now if only I would start losing pounds again!

Btw i was sleeved on 12/14/2011 238 before pre-op diet. 226 Surgery date. 214 now. (about 1 month out)

Thats amazing keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

If you don't mind me asking how tall are you??

... the reason is because we are about the same weight and i was sleeved 2 days before you were so we are in the same time frame as well.. and im at a size 16. Day of surgery i was 238.1 and as of today im 216.8. I keep trying to find people the around the same activity level and size as me just to keep each other motivated.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
