Congratulations! I'm super short (4'11.5"), so although I have lost 42 pounds now, I won't be cleaning out the closet permanently for probably another two months. I have been able to get rid of a bunch of tops that are just now way too big for me. My hubby and my daughter actually had to tell me to do it. hahaha

I got rid of all my clothes that are too big so 5 big garbage bags and getting rid of my scrubs for work I went from a 3X to a XL so everyone told me to never wear them again haha, so they are in my car yay for me, and a wow moment is i don't need to sit down to get anything on except my sneakers and i lift my feet up to my chest so no bending and all I feel great

I swear before surgery I was a 24/7 food addict. My every thought was of what I was going to eat next, I'd even wake up with thoughts of food on my mind. Now fast forward to almost three months since surgery, and I'm almost the total opposite. I still think about food and what it used to taste like, but when I sit down to eat, I can't stand the whole eating thing. Nothing tastes that good to me anymore, and eating in general is a pain. Have any of you experienced anything like this? Sometimes I wonder if I feel this way because of the complications I've had ... ie: Stricture and hemmoraging gastritis. Who knows, but I will be bringing this up during my 3 month checkup next week. Just wondered if I was the only weirdo out there! Jan
