11 Weeks Post Op

[amberj 21]

SO much has changed in these past few weeks. I have experienced many different emotions. I stopped losing weight for a few weeks and went into that mindset of ill never lose weight no matter what I do, I'm destined to be fat. But things picked but up and this past week I've lost over 10 lbs. I started out in a 24 and 341 lbs. Today I weigh 286 and am wearing a pair of 18s. they are tight but nonetheless, they are 18s! I have been wearing 20s because they are more comfortable. Yesterday I went shopping for some new shirts and bought this really cute button up shirt. I of course got a larger size, because that's what I'm used to doing, ( its a 20/22) Being that I had the baby and she was cranky I didn't even try it on. Excited to say when i got home, it was WAY too big! So today I'm going back in hopes of getting a smaller size. I never in my life thought id say "oh that's too big" I have a new found confidence. I WANT to wear makeup and I WANT to dress up. I haven't been like that in over 4 years.I fit into the desk at school now too. I used to sit down and have to scoot in the desk and then hear the legs of the desk spread out. While the desk is still stressed when I sit in it, I dont have to scoot, i can just sit and not have my belly sit on top of it. That in itself is reassuring to me! I know that i have a very long ways to go, but i am getting there, one pound at a time!

Just wanted to share my little happiness!

keep up the good work, i was sleeved almost 1 year ago, 2/28/11 and ive lost 100 lbs and i contribute alot of that to the no drinking with/after the meals and just walking throughout the day, no 2-3 hours at the gym. you will get down and when you get to those smaller sizes you won't be able to stop grinning. i still get comments from people i'm around everyday that don't realize its me if they're not fully paying attention or just get a quick glance. sometimes i have to 2nd glance myself lol. good luck and happy clothes shopping
