Small Strides

I will be 5 weeks post-op on Friday. I have lost approximately 20 lbs. in that time. I was getting a bit discouraged because the weight seems to be coming off slowly (or more slowly than I would like) BUT..... Today hubby had a doctor's appointment and wanted me to go. I decided to get out of the sweat pants that I usually wear around here and put on some "real" pants (blue jeans). Well, I started with the jeans I wore pre surgery and they just fell right off of me So, I try a size smaller and they were baggy! Finally, the 3rd pair of pants fit and they were a pair that I hadn't worn in sometime and 2 sizes smaller than what I was wearing pre-surgery! So, now I have new motivation and I like how this feels!

Pauletta, That is so great. Congratulations on your success. Keep up the great work. It feels so worth it at times like this. Deb

Pauletta, I would say that is REMARKABLE! We are at about the same point as far as being about 5 weeks out. I am so happy for you! Dropping two pants sizes is really wonderful. Prolly you don't see it when you look at yourself in the mirror, but I'm sure others do! Congratulations! Kitty B. RNY 12/13/04 251 / 218
