still dump which is wonderful.  keeps me from indulging when i am not home.  I do at times not often eat sweets or whatever that makes me dump at home only. my thyroid bottomed out twice which made me gain each time but they doubled my pills and I have dropped 35 pounds in two months.  love it.  lol

Glad to hear your decision for RNY 14 years ago still was the best decision for you!

I hope to continue to be pleased 14 years out too.

The other day, I was ordering tops and i was a MaddenGirl Small!

I never thought I could go from XXL/XXXL-to Teenager Small.

Yet hear I am!

1.8 years out and still loving mine too!

Skinny,

Omg a teenage small is amazing. Good to know that you are only 1.8 years and you are loving your Rny. How long did it take you to get to goal? I am thrilled to be buying clothes in the Normal area instead of XXL.  Although my yoga pants are still 1X. Thats okay I need to just be patient. All will happen in good time.

Have a great week.

Seriously, i hit goal around 11 months after surgery. People say I look even skinnier now...but I am still 1 lb up from my lowest.

My "safe range" or "goal range" is 139-142 lbs.

 

Around 141 I get worried and 142 I pull the trigger.

 

I still get a thrill out of teens and normals. It is so nice to be NORMAL again.

Have you tried Zuilly. I have got some pretty haute clothes for 20-79.00 dollars there.

 

My latest score was a new pair of jeans for 9.99

Omg that's way cool to know! I see them on Facebook and wondered. You are so helpful. I can't wait to be skinny again and wear jeans again. Bless your heart for helping me. Have a great evening skinny girl.

Omg that is great news! I am only 8 months out and love the dumping. Makes me accountable for my missteps along the way. The fact that you have lost 35 pounds in two months is awesome. Have a great week.

I liked the dumping too. For me the surgery was a perfect carrot and stick. I did things right and got the carrots of weight loss and pretty clothes. Did things wrong and got sick and barfed in public places (very embarrassing).

 

I was slow to learn though. I got sick TWICE before I learned.  A smarter person just would have been sick ONCE!

Skinny,
