Yay!! NSV - almost 6 weeks out

So, I started out in a size 20/22. Right after surgery I had tried on a pair of jeans at Target in a 20. They were too tight to close. Today I was there again and grabbed a 20 and an 18. The 20's were huge, the 18's too big. I couldn't believe it! I didn't want to try the 16 because I was so happy that the 18's were big I didn't want to bring myself down (and I didn't really need new jeans anyway since I have about 8 different sizes sitting in my closet). Anyway, I am psyched. I have felt like I'm losing a lot slower than most but that really brings to light that I am actually losing!

Way to go. It is nice to have those little wow moments when you least expect them.

Keep up the good work.

Shrinking is so much fun, isn't it?  I'm down 2-3 sizes and it's so exciting! I swear my fat has shifted though. Some of my pants that are smaller don't fit the way I remember them. (10 yrs ago) I suppose, 80 pounds heavier at one point and two kids, stuff moves around.    I feel like I'm losing slower too, surgery 8 weeks ago and have lost 33, but people are noticing - YEA!!!

Same for me. I have "only" lost 33lbs  but people are noticing.  My face is thinner too and losing a bit of the double chin.  I am still wearing all my old clothes, but cinching the belt tighter.  I won't spend money on clothes until I am down significantly.

I have clothes that I am shrinking into but you are right, they are fitting differently. I did actually spend some $$ on jeans. I hadn't worn any in years. I was so excited when I took 2 sizes smaller than what I had been wearing. Still huge but not bad.

Great news!  I seem to loosing everywhere but on my waist so I'm still waiting for a smaller size.  I have had to retire some of my old jeans, though.  Just too big.  

How much weight have you lost so far?
 

At last count (yesterday, lol) it was 25 since the surgery, 32 total. My official weigh in day is Wed. but I felt like I had done well this week so I've been peeking. How about you?

I'm nervous about weighing myself but may do so tomorrow morning.   I'd been stalled for a bit and I'm hoping that I've broken my plateau when I get on the scale.    I had 47 lbs. off as of last week.  I'm hoping I clear 50 lbs. tomorrow.  

I lost something like 42 lbs. in 1 month and my sister, who's in medicine, said it's not uncommon to come to a screeching halt after loosing that type of weight in 4 weeks. 

Her specialty isn't Gastro so I'm hoping she's right.  I will be very disappointed if I get on and it doesn't say I'm down more.

Wish me good luck and good for you, too!!!

Well, I finally got up the courage to weigh myself today and I'm down 9 lbs. so my weight stall is OVER!!!!  YAY!
