Well, this journey has been an interesting one for me. The first 4-6 weeks were SO hard and I'm finally into a routine with my eating. I started at 268 pounds the day of surgery and my picture below on the left is from the day before surgery. I wore a size 24/26 and a 2x/3x in tops. I took the photo on the right last week when I hit 50 pounds down and as of this morning, 12 1/2 weeks out from surgery I'm down 54. I'm wearing a size 18 and a 1x top. Just last night I tried on my 'dream' jeans - a size 16 and got them on and zipped up and am hoping that in the next month they'll be comfortable enough to wear. I've had moments of 'why did I do this to myself?' but in the long run, I am very happy that I did it. I'm feeling better about myself, more confident and I am loving the shopping - but trying not to go overboard. :)

Best to you all, Michelle
