I'm down to a 14 tall from lane Bryant and just got a vera Wang shirt size large!! Bra down to 38dd. I can't express how happy I am and I've still got around 40lbs to go. What an amazing journey this is! No regrets.

They had a bake sale at work today to raise money for a coworker who lost a loved one and I had to be the one to organize the goodies and go to 4 floors to get the donations and dole out the treats. Plus they were all in my office for the morning. The smell were great. I didn't even have a lick of one! True test of my determination during this process! Everyone was very impressed with my willpower as was I!

I LOVE buying clothes now! I used to hate it, get depressed and be miserable. I'm trying so hard to wait on buying a lot since I still have more to lose. Down 50 pounds now!!! wahoo!

I'm not sure if this is a NSV but it was surprising. I usually put my hair bands around my wrist so I would have it handy. When I was overweight I would have to take it off shortly after putting it on because it would start squeezing my wrist. Today I realized I could keep it on all day but also when I pulled up my long sleeve shirt my hair band pulled up to my upper arm and I didn't realize it until I was looking for it to put in my hair. I guess my upper arm has gotten quite a bit smaller.

I had my 9 month post-op check-up yesterday. My surgeon (who I saw 2 months ago for an unrelated issue) walks into the exam room, does a double take and says "Holy cow! I didn't even recognize you! You look fantastic!"

In May 2014, I had just been to the informational seminar and was two days away from my first weigh-in required by Aetna, when I attended my nephew's wedding. I wore a snug 3X dress. I had my Gastric Bypass in December. On October 3rd,I will be attending my niece's wedding wearing a very comfortably fitting size 14 dress!

I just realized this yesterday....I work at a hospital and the employee parking is the furthest lot and it's down a hill. Daily I have to walk up the hill to get to the hospital and it just dawned on me yesterday that I am no longer winded or sweaty by the time I get into work. I am about 2 lbs away from hitting my 100lb mark since I started dieting last year around this time. Between that and the several spin and zumba classes each week I am feeling awesome!

Picked out and fit into a size 10 Jean from Costco! They don't have change rooms so you never know! I am super happy with the jeans, they are size 10 DKNY and were only 20$! post-256112-14431516273945_thumb.jpg

I went shopping for the first time since my surgery in December 2014. As usual i picked up the biggest size of a 22 and also a size 18, because I wasn't sure what I wore anymore. To my surprise, the 18 fit perfect, and I haven't worn a size 18 since I was 12 years old.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
