Okay...so saw that doc today that I told ya'll about....he was REALLY REALLY REALLY happy & pleased with my progress; he could not stop praising me!!! That made me so happy and it motivated me even more. He said that seeing my results makes him feel better about his decision and that he did the right thing (recommending me and others) for the surgery.

I'm going to have some blood tests tomorrow .....I "may" get off the med I take for high cholesterol....we'll see (last time it was halved). Also last time he took me off one of my hypertension pills. Now, if I can just get off the meds I take for PCOS I'll be happy!!! But that may never happen....as it may not be related to the weight....time will tell.

So, all in all....a good day!

.....oh and the best part....Mr Yoda and I went to the store "The Gap" tonight to get him a scarf to match his new jacket (black and orange!) and I saw a really neat pair of cargo pants....I tried on the XL and they not only fit but they were a little big!!!! OMIGAWD!!!! I fit into a pair of pants from The GAP!!!!!!!!! I didn't get 'em tho (I ain't droppin' $79 on THOSE!) but it was enough just to know that they fit......did I mention it was at the GAP????!!!!!!! Whoooooa Nelly!!!

Yippee, Yoda!

Wow, Yoda, that's awesome! I'd love to try something on in a store like that. Mind if I ask what size of pants you're wearing? (other than a XL) What number does that equal? Just wanna make sure I don't even ATTEMPT to try on clothes there until I'm well below that size, to avoid disappointment!

Mandi.....if I was able to fit in the XL (& they were "loosish" to boot) then you definitely can....those ones were like pull up cargo pants with a foldy down waist thing - lots of zippers and pockets and they came in S, M, L and XL. I'm in a size 18 pant right now. In fact, last week I bought a pair of great jeans at Old Navy....18 Petite (& I still need to roll the bottoms up!!). They fit well. Depends on the pant though....I have a couple of dressier pants in size 18 and tho I can wear 'em fine they are pretty loose; yet the 16 would probably be too snug! Tho I like some of the clothes in The Gap.....and even tho one day I may be able to fit into a lot of 'em, it won't be a shop I go to willingly.....(we only went in to look for a scarf for Mr Yoda)....I find their stuff just WAAAAAY too over-priced.....

[argon 3]

Hmmm... I'll hold off on those kinds of stores until I'm in a safe buffer zone.. like 12 (HA!) And even then, I'll go in, take piles of clothes into the dressing room, then leave without buying a thing. :heh:

Yoda the Gap, fantastic. I always foung the Gap in Canada is overpriced but there's a Gap in Lake Placid, NY that always have fantastic deals. Everytime we are in Lake Placid, we make it a point to stop there and we alway buy stuff on sale. I always buy for others though. It would be so much fun to walk in there some day and buy stuff in there for me. Great NSV!!!!

[green 6]

I'm gonna have to pluck up the courage to go into the Gap. Maybe there's an NSV there waiting for moi.

But I really, really, think you should have bought those pants. *wink;)
