125 pounds gone forever!

Hello All!!! I have lost 125 pounds (86 since surgery).      It is really hard to believe, but I'm finally seeing it! I also had a big WOW moment this weekend. I am able to fit into a 1x shirt! I've never (to my knowledge) worn that size... I saw my mama and she said I have this shirt I think you can wear. I looked at it and was like there is no way I can fit into this shirt YET, but I tried it on and it fit perfectly and actually is a bit loose! I couldn't believe it! Then I went to my friends house and she gave me a few clothes and included in it was a XL Tommy Hilfiger sweatshirt. Now keep in mind I have NEVER been able to wear anything name brand like TH, so when I tried it on and it fit I was ecstatic!  The funny part is pretty soon it will be too big! That is so weird to think about.  I'm still trying to eat healthier foods, but realize it's a process.  I have found some good protein bars for a snack though-- they are called Atkins Advantage Caramel and they taste like a snickers bar!  it's good when I get "hungry" between a meal. Sometimes I'll eat half of one and a piece of cheese and I'm full. They have 150 calories, 7g fat, 11g protein and only 1g sugar (no sugar alcohols) 1.5oz bar.  Anyway, that is what is up with me right now. As many of you have said, I love my RNY!  Have a great week everyone! Edited to add: Updated pics (including one in my 1x shirt *hehe*) posted in my profile!

Congraulations!  You are looking great and I know you are feeling great!  I am so proud of you!

Hey Melinda.....That is awesome!!! Can't wait until I get there!  By the way, where do you find the Atkins protein bars?    They may be good for an afternoon snack. Thanks, Pam

Thanks girl!!! You will be here in no time!!! :)  I got the Atkins Protein Bars at Walmart, but they have them at Target too, I know for sure.  I didn't see them as only 1, you have to buy a box of 6 for like $5.00 and something, but they are worth it! I'll eat a half of one for a quick snack or a whole one sometimes... They are really good!!!  :)

Melinda,   You go girl, you are my hero. I want to be just like you!!!  Danielle
