Who Would Believe It~Down 7 Pants Sizes!!!!!!

I am almost 7 months post-op and have finally gone to get some new clothes, since all mine are literally falling off!!! YEp can't believe it's true. I am noticing my body reshapeing everywhere but, also getting flabby. I am doing some exercizes but my wings on my arms are getting bigger with the more weight I loosse. I am down 130 pounds and wanting to loose 100 more. I am thinking about using some protien shakes again, just to make sure I am getting the right amount of protien. I do good with food no complaints here, I chew enough and eat slowly. Hope everyone is doing good. Jill

Awesome, isnt it? I am down to a size 10 and am wearing hip huggers for the first time ever!! keep up the great work kelly

Jill, It is amazing the transformation we go thru with this weight loss. Yes, I have flabby skin, but I really don't mind (99% of the time) because I am so much healthier. I still have a ways to go, but I am elated at the progress I have made. Yes, getting enough protein in each day is such a necessity. Congratulations on your successes too. Mary

Jill, That is awesome - doesn't it feel great to buy new clothes! I started out at a tight 28 - sometimes 30/32 and now my 18s are literally falling off. I also have discovered that I have bone structure! I have cheekbones, hipbones and other various boney structures that used to be hidden under a layer of fat. Congratulations on your awesome weight loss! Liz

Congratulations Jill!! I feel fortunate every day that I was able to have surgery. Very few people said anything when I was losing weight quickly, but now that I'm in sizes 6-10 (depending on manufacturer) I'm getting lots of comments. I've also noticed the re-shaping my body is going through. I can see muscle definition in my legs and arms, and I love it. I also have a bunch of loose skin that bothers me (mostly because I feel it moving when I run), but on the plus side - I can run! I'm planning on competing in a 10K race this coming Saturday. I'm very happy for your 130# loss, and I'm convinced you are more than capable of losing the next 100. Take care and keep us posted. Linn

Thank you everyone for your response. It makes me smile when I read the comments from you!! Linn WAY TO GO!!! Good luck on your race and thanks for the encourageing words!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! Jill
