So yesterday, I went on my first shopping spree since my WLS. When I began, I wore size 18-20, or 2xl. I have survived on hand me downs and garage sales since then. Yep, I was able to shop in the regular size section. NO PLUS SIZES FOR ME!!!! And drumroll please.......Size 12 jeans and Medium tops!!!!! I couldn't believe it! Yay for me!

I know you had to be so happy...that is truly one of the greatest feelings...happy for you. I am just 8 weeks out but I can't wait to go buy clothes n get back in sizes I use to wear a few years ago. Keep up the great work...what kind of counting do you do? Carnpbs,sugars,proteins? How many a day? Exercise? Keep it up I hope to be as fortunate as you. ?

I stick to the basics - high protien, low sugar, fats and carbs. Drink lots of water. I walk for exercise. Not as much as I am supposed to, but I just got a fitbit for my birthday. Hopefully it will encourage me to get my steps in each day.

I have been shopping in my closet as I have multiple sizes to choose from (all plus sizes), but am getting to the bottom of the barrel for work clothes. Went and did a little shopping with my daughter just to see where I was, and I still CANNOT wrap my mind around the fact that I can fit in XLs in regular stores! It is a bit overwhelming because now there are so many stores to choose from. So exciting though!!!!
