NSV - everything fits! (with pics)

7 weeks out, and today I decided to get bold enough to actually take the piles and piles of clothes out of my closet to try things on, and...OMG! Everything either fits perfectly, or is too big, already!
In fact, I have so many clothes that I could probably do a wardrobe switch 4 times a day and not get through everything in there. Haha, I own a million things, but they never all fit at once! This has never happened!
Here are pics of what I am planing to wear to a job interview on Tuesday :)

Best of Luck in your job interview! I have been doing the same thing with my wardrobe! I have wedding weight clothes, pre-pregnancy clothes, post pregnancy clothes, and wow am I really this big clothes! I am happy to back in my pre-pregnancy clothes and getting closer to my wedding weight clothes! So fun to go shopping in our own wardrobe right?

Yes, so fun to shop in my closet! It's funny--since I had lost weight with the band, orginally, I have hovered between 3 sizes, which may not sound like a huge range, but it was so frustrating that just 2 pounds could make the difference between what is wearable or not... Then I had to gain a little weight to be approved for my revision surgery, so suddenly EVERYTHING was tight. Boo :(
Congrats to you for getting towards those wedding weight clothes! Won't it be exciting to slip into an unseen new size and get forced to get all new things?

You are going to do great, Jaime!
But don't use me as a litmus test...my journey is a long one that started with a lapband in 2009. I lost 50lbs but the band was making me sick. I had to gain weight to qualify for my revision to RNY, which I had done at 33 BMI.
Im still super stoked about the weight loss though! It's much slower than a first time bypasser, but I'm 18 lbs down from my revision day weight :) Whoohoo!
I had a band in 2008, lost about 65-80 pounds before they found in 2010 that it had eroded into my stomach. After having it removed I was in a deep depression and figured that I was out of options. So I let all sorts of bad behaviors in my life and did everything wrong. Then I had my son and I decided I had to change, and that I would change. He's 18 months old and I look forward to my life with him (and my spouse). I will use this to the best of my ability for my family, and for me. I am on this!
