cherbear33 288 Posted February 21, 2014 I made a flipagram video of the last 7 mths since being sleeved & I am hoping it uploads properly on here & everyone can see it. I am not sure how this will go as this is my first attempt @ trying to upload a video of any kind on to this site. I apologize ahead of time if it does not work. (So I am sorry) lol! Ok so here goes nothing... In the last few pictures of the video I stuffed a throw pillow inside my old size 26 jeans to show approx how big I really was, as the jeans fit around the throw pillow the same way it used to fit around my belly. I jusy thought it was a cute way to show how far I have actually come these past 7 mths. I also thought it was a good way to show just how much extra room is in those size 26 jeans! I have no clue whay size I am now in jeans as I have only worn stretchy pants since being sleeved but just may make it my mission to go in to a store just to see what size I fit into now. I don't bother spending the money on jeans since they will not fit for very long & the stretchy pants last longer bcuz they shrink down with you for a little while! My surgery was July 18, 2013, my SW: 321 LBS & my current weight is 232 LBS! I have lost a total of 89 LBS since getting my sleeve! I am only 11 LBS away from one of my goals of getting to the 100 LBS down mark which feels awesome & even though I will still have a lot to still lose after I hit that goal I am excited to be so close to a goal that seemed so far beyond my reach 7 mths ago! I am loving this journey, every moment, every tear, every emotional rollercoaster ride I have taken, every hair that has fallen out, every good & bad day has been worth the quality of life I have regained since my surgery! http://flipagram.com/f/jYN1TLwNQQ Hope the link works! Crossing my fingers & praying for the best! 6 shaza1963, missbrown30, ProudGrammy and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
