~I finally made it into a smaller size~
Went to go shopping yesterday and I was very happy to know that I use to wear a 24 and now I wear an 18/20 yes the happy dance is going on. Even though Imay not be losing the pounds at the present moment the inches are still coming off. I am so HAPPY. This journey don't get me wrong its tough but the rewards are so great.
Individuals who I work with don't have the knowledge of the surgery I have had. But they tell me I am looking great and it feels so nice to actually get a compliment!

Hi Fluffy! Isn't it a great feeling? My pants have always been a 22/24. I just got some 18/20's. And new undies, as they were falling off .
I wish I had measured myself before surgery!
Keep up the great work!

Every morning in Africa , a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

I know it is such a great feeling. I only bought one pair of pants because I needed them for work.I really don't want to buy anything more than that until I need to.Congratulations on your size reduction as well. Did you take photos the before and afters? If so match them up side by side that is the only way I knew I was losing inches and pounds other than that my clothes being loose was a good sign for me. You can go to www.imikimi.com and they have photo frames you can add your photos to and do side by sides on. I have some posted on my page if you want to know what I am talking about. I wish I have measured myself to but visuals are just as good.
Way to go! So excited for you - I'm looking forward to being able to wear an 18!
