Topic: RE: it's the 6th month!!! Share some WOWs
Sizes are different... I know when I was a senior in high school I had to buy all my clothes in Lane Bryant, and now I can't fit into anything there (ok, I haven't tried, but I'm only buying "misses" clothes now, which I couldn't do back then).
I'm so glad my mom kept all the bridesmaid and prom dresses - they were a hoot to try on.
Your husband is in for one hell of a surprise. I am told that pictures don't do justice to seeing in person all the loss - nevermind TOUCHING!

Happy 6th Months! My DH is in the army and stationed over in Germany. He hasn't seen me in person since the surgery. We were chatting the other day through web cam and I had to get up for something and move away from the computer. I came back and sat down and he says "stand up for a minute". So I did...did a little flaunting, lol. He says "Your hot". He has never said that to me. He has said your beautiful, pretty, etc. BUT never HOT! lol Hot has never been a word in my repertoire. He will be here at the end of the month for block leave, I can't wait to see him. I'm so excited.
I'm down 81lbs and feel great. I do not have any old article of clothing to try on, but I do know that I am smaller than when I was in high school now...I think sizes are different though.

Topic: it's the 6th month!!! Share some WOWs
We will all be hitting the 6 month mark in May. I'm so very excited for my big day next Tuesday. I see my surgeon and he will hopefully tell me all good things!!My latest WOW moment was yesterday, putting on my high school prom dress and it fitting!! I wore that dress 17 years ago. I'm sure it was the last time it fit. What's really striking is that my parents were so concerned about how overweight I was back then. Now my mother said to me yesterday when i walked into her house "I could look at you all day!". Perspectives really do change over time!
How are YOU doing?
PS - i'm in small stall. no loss this week. bummer.

89 in five months is great. Congrats on that but you have to remember to chew chew chew. I made the mistake a couple times and it was painful.

Topic: 5 months Today
Today is my 5 month anniversary. I am so happy that I did this surgery. I have lost 89 pounds and happy for that. I am blessed every day by this surgery. Energy, looking somewhat normal, support from my family, and not as many people staring at me. Thank God for my life.
It has been a wonderful journey, but not always perfect. Some days my energy is down, some days I forget to eat slow and dumping it comes. I look at it as a reminder you must do this right. I am held accountable
Congratulations to all who has joined the loser bench. I wish everyone success
