Size 12!
Wow, I went to Mervyn's yesterday and I was trying on clothes. I tried 2 skirts, each in a size 12 and 14. The 14s were too large, and the 12s fit perfect in both of them. I was amazed so I grabbed a pair of Levi's 515 jeans in a 12 and THEY FIT!!! I almost cried in the dressing room, I don't know why size 12 is important, it just feels so good. They are tight but are wearable in public, I don't have to "suck it in" to button/zip them or anything!
I kept on rationalizing that maybe the jeans were messed up, maybe someone had tried them on and stretched them out, it just didn't seem right to me. I can remember being at the weight I am at now on the way up and I was having to unbotton my size 13 juniors pants all the time, they were too small. It just seems so weird, so unreal.
I am 3 1/2 months out now and I am feeling great. I have lost 62 lbs so far and I feel like I am doing great! I almost feel like a normal person. I am so happy that I had this surgery, I have no regrets at all. I suppose I should post some pictures of myself. I think I will have my husband take some of me tommorow and I will post them. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys how excited I am to be in a size 12!!

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.
