How much weight

When I had my surgery i knew that I would be losing weight. Well since then I never really realized how much I had really lost until I went to put on a pair of fat shorts that I used to wear (before surgery) and they fell to the floor. I was totally astonished and amazed. That is when I really realized how much weight I have really lost!!! Has this happened to anyone else??

How funny!!! Yep, similar thing happened to me. I'd been a litlle down, cause I didn't think I was loosing as fast as others. Well, I went on Friday and bought a pair of Levi's, size 14. Mind you that the last pair of pants I purchased were a size 20. Anyway, I wore the new jeans out shopping the following Monday. I was in a department store and went to the ladies room. For many, many years, the only clothes I wore had ELASTIC waistbands (sound familiar?) so, when I was in the stall, I instinctively just pulled down my Levis. PULLED THEM DOWN without unbuttoning or unzipping. So, I just went out in the department store and bought a size 12. 2 weeks later, and guess what??? I can just pull the 12's down too!!!!! The scale doesn't show the change yet, but Levi don't lie!!!!!!

Congrats Dawn, that's a huge accomplishment!! I started in a size 22/24 and the skirt I'm wearing to work today is a size 10. (I can't fit into size 10 pants yet because my thighs are too big - I'm in a size 12 pants). If I put on a pair of my old clothes (22/24) I can almost get two legs into one leg whole. It's very exciting!!

I was in a 42" waist pants and now I am in a 34" waist, it is such a cool feeling!
