6 months ago, you would never told me that I would look the way I do today. I went shopping and purchased a linen size 8 skirt and it was a perfect fit! I haven't worn a size 8 since I was 8 years old! 6 months ago, I was a size 22 and 288 lbs. I am 5'9 192 lbs and a size 8. It is an amazing feeling!

Great feeling walking into a store and being able to buy something off of the rack that you know you will look good in isn't it?! But only 6 months ago was your surgery, so if you are like me you will go down a few more sizes. Don't go to crazy buying a size 8 because I see a 6, 4 and then who know a 0 in your future. Way to go.

WOW! I cannot even imagine that! I am 5' 10" (though at the hospital they said 5' 9") and wore a 24 the day of surgery, in 22 now and frankly it is a pipe dream to me to even be in a 14. I cannot imagine an 8. OH WOW WOW WOW!!

You must be really working hard on this and that is awesome!!! YAY FOR YOU!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

I know exactly how you feel. I eat lots and lots of protein and exercise most days of the week. I thought I would need a tummy tuck but the weight lifting and planks have really helped my skin bounce back. People think I have gotten taller but I was so wide that I didn't looke 5'9". It is exciting and you will be amazed at your self in due time!

I am just amazed as well!! 5 weeks ago I was in a size 22 or 20. I blew by a size 18 and am comfortable in a 16. Everyday the scale keeps moving. I just never imagined so much success so quickly!
