3 months out

AND... shopping in the PETITE section! Yes, it's true. I don't think I have ever been able to do that. I think I went from the chubby girls section, to the womens section. I'm not shopping for much, as my size will hopefully keep going down steadily. But, Sears had 50-80% additional off of their clearance last weekend. Plus, when you see that P (down to a 16 misses petite from a tight 22 womens) after the size, and they actually fit, who can pass up buying just one pair of jeans for $7.50, oh and one size XL (misses also, down from a tight 3X womens). Yesterday was 3 months since surgery. I'm down, according to my home scale, 82 pounds since the start of my pre-op diet. I see Dr. Moein next Thursday, and hopefully he'll be happy with my progress. I still struggle some to get enough protein in. I don't exercise enough (although I walk alot, and have a very active job).  Some days, I find lots that I can eat, other days nothing tastes good, and my pouch fights back. But, every day gets better and easier. Thanks to everyone here for continuing to be an inspiration, and for your encouragement.

Great Job!!!!!    82 pounds in three months!!!! I'm sure the real pride came from getting into those new clothes...congrats!

Thanks so much! It's great to see you join in the conversation, and I so appreciate the positive thoughts!!

Hijak---BigDog80, I haven't seen you post before, so welcome to another Frederickite!  I live in Frederick also.  There are a few of us on here.  Hope to see you post more often.  Our board slows down sometimes and it's good to have as many people as possible.  How have you liked Dr. Moeinomolki and how has your weight loss been going since surgery? 

WTG Girlfriend!!!!!! I cann't wait to buy a teen:   still wearing my 22 jeans I bought at curve appeall. One one my trainers at the gym yesterday saw me for the first time in " street clothes" She was like damn girl you look good in those jeans:  Guess I need to replace the baggy exercise gear LOL. If you aren't working next Friday there is a basket bingo in BelAir.  Let me know if you are interested. Darla

Thanks so much my friend! Amazing how I lose all my weight in my lower 1/2 first, lol. I'm out of town next weekend. I'm excited to go, my best friend hasn't seen me since Christmas. We are having a baby shower for her, as she is expecting twin girls at the end of May, so I will be up in NJ. Enjoy the basket bingo. I hope to get to one of them with you soon.

82lbs down in three months!?!   Way to go Kathy!!! Blessings, Antoinette

Thanks Antoinette! I did lose the first 15 during my pre-surgery diet. But, I've had good success since. I had a great surgeon, and a great team of people both on and off line to keep me motivated.

According to your chart, you're already half way there.  Keep up the awesome work!!

Thanks Eric. I should update that chart, so I can see that, what another great motivator. I have so many people inspiring me here. That makes it so much easier to walk this path.
