CAN IT REALLY BE??

Hi! I'll be 6 weeks post-op tomorrow, and I've lost 33 pounds! I went from a size 22 jeans to a size 16! I cannot even believe it! I feel so great! I don't know about you guys, but I feel this was THE BEST decision I ever made! Hugs, Chrissy 245/212/150

I agree 500%. I am 7 weeks post op and have lost 55 lbs. One of my co-workers saw me for the first time today and had to take a double take.

That is wonderful that you went down so many sizes! I must be shaped weird or something. I'm down 38 pounds, but I've only bought pants that are one size smaller, from a tight 22/24 to a size 20. My stomach is bigger than the rest of me! The 20's are loose everywhere but there. I guess I'll have to start exercising! But you are right, this is great! I'm getting my old clothes together to take to a consignment shop next month. ~~ Leslie 238/199.5/138

I'm with you, Leslie. 6 weeks post op, 33 lbs but from a tight 20 to an 18. Legs are so loose as is the butt area, but waist is still snug on the 18. Exercise will help! Lets both hang in there. This is still the best thing that has happened to me! My main goal was to beat my diabetes and I am on my way to doing that, down from 4 medications and insulin to one medication and no insulin! So I guess I am getting close to that goal! Karen Height: 5'9 1/2" 250/217/???
