Thinkingthinner1109 485 Posted November 21, 2014 I fit into my Abercrombie and Fitch jeans today and they fit perfect. Got some really cute shoes today at a Marshals. My husband bought me a new winter coat today. It's super cute and in normal people's size. I walk by the stores in the mall and see myself in the store windows and cannot believe it's me. Lol. ALL of my clothes fit from years ago. I have a whole new wardrobe and I have so many clothes. Everytime my husband and I go to the store he wants to buy everything for me. I have to rein him in. I am so incredibly happy. This sleeve thing works awesome! A few bumps in the beginning and YES I had regrets the first couple of days but it is a distant memory now, I am about 24 pounds to goal but I tell you if I didn't lose another pound I would be ecstatic. I am 13 weeks post op. My restriction is great. No nausea, slides and no stalls. Exercising and feeling great! A whole new me! Love that I look good for my husband again. Having the time of my life and we are leaving for vacation to Vegas and Californina in less that two weeks! Good luck everyone on your decisions to have this surgery, it works and even though some may have bumps in the road stick with it, best decision ever!

Thinkingthinner1109 485 Posted November 23, 2014 13 weeks post op and down 104 pounds, wow! Congratulations! =) I am sorry I did lose 104 pounds but I should have said that is a total weight loss before and after surgery. Not just post op. I have lost 54 pounds since surgery. I lost 50 before surgery. I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I re read my post and should have said pre and post op. I started "dieting" three months before surgery and went to the gym everyday and walked at lunch times. I was walking between 5 and 10 miles a day. 3 months pre op I was drinking a Protein shake for Breakfast one for lunch and a sensible low cal dinner. No Snacks.
