First Wow Moments

This week I am officially 30 pounds lighter and the only pair of big jeans that I had now fall off of me. So I have some pants that I bought in January and they didn't fit. Well yesterday I thought just maybe I would see how much I had to go before I could wear them and to my surprise they fit perfect!!! Also my jeans from last year fit me again I am just so amazed right now since tomorrow will only be 3 weeks since my surgery.

Wow, you go girl!!!  That is exciting.  I think I have lost about 24 pounds since the pre-surgery diet, but my clothes still feel tight on me.  I asked Katie about it and she said that I still have alot of swelling in the tissue and it could take a while to go away.  Oh well, pretty soon my pants will be to big too and I'll be rejoicing with ya.  Congratulations on the milestone, that's awesome.  I guess I'll see you tomorrow...pureed foods here we come.   Melissa

Thats awesome Melissa, 24 pounds is great!!! Its funny how excited we are about pureed foods lol .

Really!!!!  I am just dying to chew something.

 WOW!  I hope in 3 weeks from Wednesday, I can say the same.  What a great acheivement.

Congratulations. You are doing so good.    Most my pants have elastic in them, so they would fit me until they fell off.  But my shirts are fitting me now.  I stopped buying things after I hit 2X so now I can get back in the 1X size.!! WOW.   But the elastic pants for now.  I also have a lot of swelling in my tummy so I do not even think on putting anything on that would restrain me.  But I noticed my but is smaller.  And my legs, my arms.   Some shirts are too big!!!. 

 

Congratulations Jess. It only gets better from here. Sounds like you are doing wonderful. Keep up the great work Chris

You go, Jess!  That is fantastic news - you just wait, it's gonna get better & better & better!  I put on my first pair of size 18 jeans in God only knows when (- this is from a woman who owns a pair of 52" jeans & thought she looked good in them!)  Keep it up & Keep us in touch...
