Well here is the story and I feel it is a pretty good one. I have lost 105 pounds since surgery, 128 from my highest. I have gone from a 38W or 6X to...wait for it an 18W suit that I just bought. But normally, ha normally, can you believe I would say this is normal!! In a dress that is A line I wear a 22W, I am wearing 18-20 in fitted tops like camis, etc. I am wearing 26W pants, I am in a 2X for things like sweats and PJ's. It is unbelieveable to me. My husband said that my clothes look so small!!!
My potassium levels and Vit D have now entered the normal ranges so I am glad for that as well. Here are some pictures of the journey so far... Pre-OpMay2007.jpg Pre-Op image by joteddie

Hey Jo, You are looking GREAT!!!! Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
