After my morning ritual of wringing out a kidney, emptying out other organs, and stripping off all my clothes then hopping on the scale it read "199.8"
WOOOO!
That's about 98 pounds down from my pre-op weight.
I don't know why but I decided to skip down to the Levi's store to buy a couple pairs of jeans since my size 20 slacks are falling off my deflated butt- I fit into a 16 now (this would be a size 33 jean) down from my pre-op size of 26. I was greeted by a very cute guy who expressed with regret that they only carry up to size 31. Curses! Foiled again!
Doh!
Oh well. I'm happy I made it to wonderland, but just realized I'm in an akward size for shopping.

Congratulations, and my aren't you doing great! There's such a huge emotional difference between 200 and 199. When I hit Onederland, I felt so much more "feminine," because in my crazy mind, I felt like "men" are in the 200's and "women" are in the 100's.

Yeah I see what you mean, ever since I'd been getting close to the onederland mark I've been preening a lot more and wearing earrings. To be honest when I was over 230lb I gave up trying to look nice because I felt that I was so heavy it wouldn't make a difference. Nice earrings wasn't going to hide the fact that I was huge. Now that I've lost enough weight were I can actually see my face, I'm noticing the renewed interest in my appearance. It's wonderful feeling feminine :)
