2 months down...
SO yesterday was my official 2 month mark. Things are, overall, going well. I don't have the pouch other's do. Mine is a little more picky. Meat isn't always going down well... but fish does! Chewing is my best friend, but even then, I can't always chew enough to please the pouch. I'm still learning how to eat.
I've lost a total of 46.6 pounds since I started my pre op diet. My clothes are finally starting to get big on me, and I've moved down to the 'these are too small on me' rac(k. I'm 'amazed at how some people remark on how great I look, and others never notice a thing (LOL)
Yesterday we went to a wedding. We got all dressed up and I felt so wonderful! Then I saw the picture (Below)... I'm still not skinny - this is a running joke I have with myself, I'm still not skinny!, but I really thought I looked thinner than this picture. But of course, with the 'girls' NOT SHRINKING AT ALL, I look VERY top heavy! In my defense, I had on a corset to hold them up, and I guess UP they are! Dang, I really want them to shrink already!
So here I am all prettied up, with my hubby :) The wedding was great, and I found some cheeses to eat, and passed on a lot of things I shouldn't eat. I did well and felt good afterwards.
This is an incredible journey, and I can't wait to see what the future holds!

I know how you feel. I had the opposite proble. First things to go were the girls and my butt. Last thing to go was my stomach,so for a long time I looked very disproportionate. Eventually it all evens out though. You are doing amazing! Enjoy every step in your journey and know that you will get there in the end. Congratulations!
You look lovely and very happy. The girls are not pushed up to high that they are choking you (:-) plus your husband has this look on his face that says yup she and her sisters are all mine lol). I love reading about others journey and it gives me hope and excitement to take my next step which is the surgery (my surgeon appt is this friday coming so I'm hoping I will get a surgery date ot to far from now). Keep up the hard work and best of luck.
Thanks for sharing
Lol that's what I was thinking her husband was thinking too!

You look gorgeous, and L love that dress on you! So cute. You are doing very well. Sometimes, it seems like the weight is coming off so slowly, but when you look back on it, you will be amazed at how fast it actually was. This is an amazing journey. Enjoy the ride!

I'm sure mine will not be pretty when all is said and done... but then, I guess I'll have a new goal to reach - new boobs! hahaha... seriously though, I will be happy with a lift, I've had big boobs all my life, even as skinny, so whatever is left I'd just like put back in place. Even if they're pretty small.
