2 months!!!
And I have lost 37 pounds!! I am down 2 sizes and feeling great. I had to break down and buy some clothes because my co-workers said "it's time...LOL!
Shopping for clothes was never much fun for me but NOW I LOVE IT! My goal is to NEVER have to shop in the plus sizes again. I can't imagine what that will be like...I can't wait!!!
I must admit it is hard to get all the water and protein in every day, but I work at it everyday. My next thing is to start getting more exercise in.
I have NO regrets and wish I had made the decision to have this surgery a LONG time ago. I will post some pics tonight.
Have a great day!

Congratulations. 37 pounds in 2 months is awesome. Enjoy your clothing shopping.
I found that around week 7, the swelling went down in my tummy and I could eat and drink a little more. Now I'm 4 months out, and feeling a sense of normalcy around food. Of course, it is a new normal where I eat 3 ounces of meat and 1 ounce of veggies at a meal. But I do feel like my life is moving on and not about surgery and diets all the time anymore.
Best of luck on your journey. It is so worth it.

That's a fantastic loss in two months, Vickie! I've made it to regular sizes in pants but I've always run larger on top. Waiting for the day I now longer need and XL and can buy misses tops :-) However, if the boobs keep shrinking like they have been I may not need to wait long - lol!
