My First OMG moment!

I am newly sleeved, 12 days post op. Since surgery, I have lost 23lbs. I started my WLS journey in Sept. 2010 and attending a seminar. My highest weight ever was 273. I wore 22/24 or 3X in clothing. When I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, I knew it was time to make changes. I managed to drop (over 6 months) 40 lbs, but wound up, as usual, putting 14 back on. I haven't bought any new clothes, or even tried anything on, figuring there wouldn't be any change. Yesterday, my hubby and I were at Goodwill and I mentioned I needed to find a pair of black slacks to wear to a conference at the end of the month. On a whim, I grabbed a pair of 16's and a pair of 18's, knowing they wouldn't fit. Imagine my surprise when the 18's fit beautifully! Even better, I was able to get the 16's on although they were just a bit snug!!! I know I still have a long way to go, but I was so excited to be out of the 20's. Just had to share! ***Happy Happy Dance***

You go girl!!!!!! I wore a 4x and havent tried on any new clothes either scared I guess! BUT you did it and got to do your HAPPY DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!
