When did you start wearing jeans?  I am almost two weeks out and down 23.5 since my first consult.  My jeans are still tight!  I get my staples out on Monday, and I assume that there is still quite a bit of swelling.  I am anxious to get out of stretch pants!
 
You look wonderful.  I can really tell the difference!

Thank you. :)  I've lost a little over  60lbs since I started in the spring.  I think I put some jeans on in my second week after surgery to go to an appointment.  I had my surgery done lap and I never really had any swelling.  I think the first two weeks were the hardest weeks for me so far.  The mental side was harder than the pain.  I so know what it's like to want to get back to normal.  You and I will get there.

Thank you. :)  I have a feeling that I'll have a huge dump of weight and then it will trickle.  You're doing great.  I've need to learn from you on how to get that much protein in.
