I just have to shout to the world "I can wear a size 8.....SIZE E-I-G-H-T......jeans now!!!" This is sooooo exciting for me especially after a VERY hard year of losing my momma/best friend/mentor. She would be Sooo proud of me and I am so happy at this moment. For anyone out there who is just starting their journey -- YOU CAN DO IT. I was sleeved 8 mths ago, on 2-13-12, and have lost 75# since surgery date. More if u count the months leading up to it. And lots of inches. So from a women's size 22/24 movin on down step by step until today's unbelievable moment of standing in that dressing room asking myself "What are u doing trying on a size 8 jeans crazy woman???" then....shock & awe! They actually fit. <head shaking> Did I purchase them you ask? U betcha baby. Abso-fricken-lutely!! (pardon the language). My sleeve has been rockin my world for the past 8 mths, but in full disclosure, I drink LOTS of H2O and worked out several years before surgery consistently (elliptical & hand weights) 5 days/week for about an hour and I continued and still do and always will. It was for my sanity really (stress reliever) but dang I think it's paying off. So CHEERS to all you in the same boat or just getting in the boat!! I'm cheering for you!!

Awesome! Sounds like we are similar in sizing/loss. I wore a size 10 pencil skirt today and felt like the bomb!
