Today was my 2 month post-op date and I set a goal of 50 lbs. When I weighed in last week I still had 2.5 lbs to go in 5 days. I was worried I might be a little shy of my goal. Well, it turns out that when I got on the scale today I was actually down 51 lbs. I was thrilled. On another noted...I started out in a loose fitting size 26 jeans. I just bought 2 pr of size 22's a week ago. They are the jeans that have stretch in them, so after having them on for about an hour they are literally falling off of my butt. My mom had returned a few pr of jeans that I had given her because she has always been a little smaller than me. There was one size 20 and a few 18's in the stack. For the heck of it, I decided to try on the 20's and THEY FIT!!! WOW!!! WHY did I buy size 22's? Luckily I got them at about 60% off, so I don't feel so bad. Although, I will be shopping again in the next couple of months for jeans that fit. I have been wearing jeans almost every day lately. I'm loving it. Another WOW moment happened today. I went to my in-laws for dinner and ended up sitting in one of the chairs at the dining room table the has arms on it. The last few times that I have had to sit in those chairs, it has been a very tight squeeze. Today I was in the chair and didn't even notice any discomfort. I fit in it comfortable. Soon I will have room to spare.
