It's working already!!
Tomorrow I'll be exactly 4 weeks post-op and I am in love with my RNY already. As of Saturday morning I am down 42 lbs. Also, I bought myself a new pair of pants Saturday. The day of surgery I was wearing size 32 jeans...the pants I bought yesterday were a size 26. I've been extremely blessed that I have not had any problems or food intolerances thus far. So far it's been a great ride. I can't wait to see how much more exciting it gets.
Oh it gets much more exciting! Just the other day, I was going through all my clothes, and setting aside the larges and larger sizes for donation. I was really astonished when I pulled out my 26WP jeans.
The beauty of this journey is that there's no going back to being big like that again.
Congratulations Brandi - I'm proud of ya!

Wait until you see 2 or 3 weeks that you will have to get rid of those jeans too. You are going to be in shock!
I am so glad that everything is going great for you.

Congratulations on your progress Brandi!! I knew you could do it. A suggestion though... be careful what you buy regarding clothes, because you'll only be wearing things for such a short time.... 1-3 weeks!!
That's why I love the "boutiques" aka thrift stores. That way if I don't fit in to something for long, I don't mind tossing it away.... Again CONGRATS!!!!

"The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!"
That's wonderful! I'll echo what Ren said on not buying too many new clothes, unless of course they are second hand or on sale for a really cheap price. Even at almost a year out when I thought I was stabilizing (thus buying more clothes), I'm finding that I'll be out of this size soon!
Congratulations!

Ren beat me to it. For almost 2 years post-op and even now, I browse through Goodwill, especially on the last Saturday of the month, when clothing and shoes are 1/2 off. your sizes will fall off every month.
Also post here, there might be people getting rid of the sizes you need. I know a lot of very good and almost brand new clothing went to a very good friend and I was glad. Also just agve away shoes to somebody who I think is very ecstatic with them.
