2 VSG's and 1 SV
At surgery I wore size 50 pants. A few weeks ago I bought 42's. They were tight but the 44's were loose. Now, the 42's are a bit lose!
I've already drilled two holes in the leather belt I bought this summer and it's not tight anymore so today I'm making a third hole. It's nice to make holes to make the belt tighter.
I've lost 56 lbs since September 1 and I have 48 lbs to go. I'm over halfway!
Can't wait to have that feeling!! It's been decades since dressing, shopping, packing for a trip hasn't been stressful! I use to stress over size 16 and XL. Now I'm wearing 22 and 3XL! I don't look in the mirror and when I do see a reflection in a door or picture, I don't recognize myself. Getting ready to go in 10 days!!!
I lost weight once before in my life... Of course, I gained all but 30 lbs of it back. With the help of diet pills and a low-carb diet, I went from 355 to 215.
I remember it took forever before I felt thin. I didn't feel it or see it in the mirror. Once I did, I startled myself in the mirror all the time! It was very strange. I can't wait to feel strange again. LOL
Congrats on your success so far!
