Four months ago I found a stack of pants (black pants...staple color) buried in my closet that I hadn't been able to get in to for a good year and a half, if not longer. So I took them, folded them into a pile and put them in an accessible spot in the closet. Since my RNY surgery in May, I've tried them on randomly just to "see"...no luck.

It was like trying to squeeze an egg into a garden hose.

I've been running out of clothes to wear, especially pants. The other night at the gym I almost lost my pants boxing with my trainer. Great feeling, but I'm sure the spin group across the hall wouldn't have appreciated the display of the full moon!

This morning I pulled that stack of pants out of the closet. I just figured I'd try on a pair since I had a few extra minutes before I had to leave for the office, and honestly I wasn't expecting to see anything but "muffin top" (THAT instills confidence, huh?). OH Em Gosh!! Not only did they fit, they are a little loose!

My head swelled greatly this morning, and I don't care! I am so excited!

I just did the same thing this am. A friend gave me some size 12 pants over the summer. Not even able to get them past my knees. I put them in the closet. Today when every pair of pants I have been wearing were just way too big I said ok try these 12s again. Yahhhhh didn't even have to lay down to button them! They are actualy almost too big too! Who would of thought! It is quite exciting
