I had a WOW moment today. My clothes are really hanging off me now. I am just about out of all the clothes I have gotten at the clothing exchanges. I decided to go to Catherine's and try to pick up something for work that at least fits. Mind you, when I had surgery I was wearing 26/28 pants and 5X tops. I picked up a few things to try on. A couple 2X blouses, a 2X dress, and size 20 skirt. They were all too big. I just stood there looking at my reflection. Why can't I see it? I have heard people say that before but now I understand. I came out of the dressing room and the sales gal said, oh those are way too big on you. I picked up another skirt size 18 and a 1X dress. The skirt fit but the dress was still too big. All I got was a skirt. All the way home I kept thinking that the clothes must be mis marked. When I got home and tried the skirt on it fit just fine. This surgery is truly amazing. Hope this finds everyone in good health. Sheryl

Sheryl, Way to go and doesn't it feel GOOD!!!! I've also went from a 26 to an 18 and can not see it. My girls are so upset with me because I don't see myself as they do. It's hard for us because we are so use to the OLD person. But we do need to shed that imagine, like we've shed those unwanted and unneeded pounds. Congrats girl and keep up the good work. The surgery truly is a blessing. Take care of yourself and your family. Monice

Good Going Sheryl. It is so odd, how our brains take time to catch up. From what I have read, that can take quite some time, like a year or so! Try to enjoy it! Congratulations! Amber 304/233

Good job on your loss!! I too was a 26/28 and I am only down to a 22. I weighed 340 when I had the surgery on Oct. 6th I weigh now 262. I can't wait for some more to come off. Good Luck!
