Congrats Catnipped!! That's amazing! I'll have to Google your posts
about
the gastric bypass surgery. I think it's something my DH should do. He
won't even consider it, though.
Yep, I posted a lot of information about it, but here are the main points -
check out my medical stats (to me even more important than what I look like
in the pictures) before and after and show them to him:

I've told you guys about my gastric bypass surgery (March 12, 2004), my
new
diet and how much I'm exercising. I've also told you that I'd lost my
job
right after buying my house and could only find another making half my
pay.
So....
I've been *VERY* rapidly losing weight but couldn't *AFFORD* to keep
buying
new clothes every 4 to 6 weeks. Fortunately, there's a thrift store
right
at the corner of my house where I can pick up clothes for a dollar or
two
each piece. Being used, however, the size tag is always washed out or
ripped so I really don't know what size I'm getting, I just try them on
and
if they fit I get them.
Now, at 135 (having lost 107 pounds), I've pretty much lost all I'm
going
to, although my shape may change a bit more as I exercise. So, I went
to
Wal-Mart with DH last night and decided to splurge on a pair of *NEW*
pants.
[Yikes, $20.00 for *ONE* pair of pants after a year of only spending a
buck
or two!!! ;]
DH was rushing me because he wanted to get home in time to watch a movie
on
TV that he'd been waiting all week to see. So, I found a pair of pants
I
liked, but I didn't have time to try them on. I guesstimated at a size
6
after holding them up next to me (I really thought a size 8 but DH said
no,
he didn't think so), and I bought those.
I got home and *then* tried them on............
The were too big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*OHMYGAWD, THEY WERE TOO
BIG*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
I had to take them back and get a size 4.
*A SIZE
FOUR*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly 1 year ago today I was wearing a size *24*!!!!!
EEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!! thud
