We are on the same wave length this morning with a positive post! That's why we are sisters in WLS and friends my dear.

Positive WLS related......5 years out and down 125.3 lbs. Not shabby from where I came from. Wearing a size 6 mostly and medium - large tops. From a 24 pant and XXX Large shirt, it's still unbelieveable some days.

Thanks Dana and Stephanie,

Almost 3 years out. I started in sz 30, and EVEN with my reversal... I am maintaining a size 10. I have learned how to control what goes into my mouth. I have a wonderful support system through OH, and I am so glad I found you guys.

It's great to hear everyones positives. Hopefully soon I will have some positives to report. Lately things havent' gone well. I'm so embarrassed. I took my sister-in-law some skirts yesterday that I got at the thrift store that said size 10 but they didn't fit like a size 10. She looked at me and said "they are size 6 aren't they because I wear a size 6 now." She was a 12/14 when I had my surgery. I felt like it was a slap in the face. I hate that I have gained almost 10 pounds but people around me tell me i look better and my coloring is better. But I feel so FAT!!!! My closthes are starting to feel uncomfortable, not tight but just not like they were feeling. My daughter says it's because they actuall fit now as before they were too big. Please just keep sending positive thoughts my way. I'm hoping now that school is about out that some of my stress level will lower and I can get to the market and get some fresh fruits and veggie. That always helps me in the summer.
