SleeveDreamer 383 Posted October 14, 2012 Tomorrow will be my 10 month surgiversary. I had gone from a size 18 jeans to a size 4 skinny jeans. (I have always had very skinny legs.) Yesterday I put on a pair of 4 skinny's I bought a about a month ago but never had worn since they were still a little tight then. And guess what? THEY ARE TOO BIG! I returned them since I never took the tags off and still had the receipt stuck in the pocket and tried on a pair of size 2 and they fit perfectly! I can't believe it! I was so shocked to be in a 4, and now I am blown away from the size 2 skinny's! It is so nice to put on a pair of jeans and zip up the zipper with no problem, and feel comfy all day! I never wore jeans before cuz it was so much of a hassle to get them on and they actually hurt while I was wearing them (and that was also with wearing a flexees or a spanx). I am on maintenance now since I have reached my goal, so I need to make sure I listen to my NUT and start eating more carbs (she said up to 150g per day on maintenance) and boost my calories to 1,200 per day so I won't keep losing! I love my sleeve so much! I wish all of you the success I have had! 8 Ms skinniness, abetterme4.2, xavtay2 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deekaspor 89 Posted October 14, 2012 This is amazing, you should be shouting from the tops of the roof! Do you mind if I ask if you have issues with extra skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveDreamer 383 Posted October 14, 2012 Do you use myfitnesspal? If yes may i add u as a friend? I was just sleeved last monday 10/8. Thanks! I haven't used MFP for quite awhile because in my mind I didn't want to feel like I was on a diet and that's how I felt while using it. Although at first, when I started eating regular foods, I used it and I I thought it was a great tool. I will ad you as a friend on here though! thanks and good luck!

SleeveDreamer 383 Posted October 14, 2012 This is amazing, you should be shouting from the tops of the roof! Do you mind if I ask if you have issues with extra skin? No I really don't. I have had the famous "hysterectomy apron" since 1984', and I must say that is even looking much better, which I thought was impossible! I have a little wrinlkeness (is that a word) on the inside of my upper underarms, but really no flab, and I feel great wearing tanks and sleeveless now. I consider myself lucky!
