Just had to share because I forgot that I had them! So excited. I'm 9 weeks out from RNY and am down 50ish pounds and for someone who wasn't "that big" at surgery date that is a lot. I'm over halfway to my goal and I just had to purge all my "Big Girl" clothes from my closets. Four 50-gallon trash bags and 4 big boxes of shoes for charity!  I kept the one pair of jeans that use to be my favorite jeans before I had even thought of WLS. I can actually fit in one leg of them! I was shocked!

All the guys at work keep coming up and calling me the "Skinny girl". Wow I never thought that would be me! Even the president of the company said I'm not going to have anything to wear because I'm getting so little! Great feeling when even the people that see you everyday can see the difference. You know how it is when you see someone everyday you don't realize what a change is made, well I can't wait to see some of my family that hasn't seen me since the old me!

I just had to share this with all my partners and friends on this wonderful journey!

I hope everyone gets to have a moment like this in their journey. It really does make it all worth it!

I've been digging around in the picture albums to find some "Before" pics but I may just use some of the more recent "Before" pics for now. I was trying to find one from my highest weight. I think it will probably be the one at my mom's wedding but I'm going to have to borrow it from my mom to scan. The after pictures I'm waiting on. Another 35 pounds and I'll be at my goal and I'm going to go do the glamour shots again. I promise I will post them as soon as I get them. But for now, my Christmas pic is the after! Down 56 pounds in 10 weeks!!! YAY!
