Coming up on 5 months post surgery, haven't been seeing much movement in scale numbers from week to week but it is still slowly ticking down. I feel better and people notice all the time. More active and able to do most anything I want. Recently I have had plenty of "mind-hunger", even though I am not physically hungry. I have moments and urges to go eat something but I fight them with a bottle of water or stick of gum. It's not uncontrollable but it's annoying.
One major NSV was when I needed to have some decent casual work clothes for a trip and I visited local JCPenney. Grabbed size I thought I needed and tried them on and I realized I might be able to fit in next size down, and sure thing I went down one size in both shirt and pants and they fit.
I started this journey at size 44x32 jeans (loose fit), and I just bought 36x32 regular fit Dockers. Aso I started with 3X shirts (sometimes 4X) and I got a couple size XL golf shirts. I was so stoked, first to be smaller sizes and second to be able to shop in the "normal" size sections of the store. That is something I haven't been able to do in 15 or so years.
I am so looking forward to shopping for new clothes in September for my cruise first week in October. More motivation to keep it up!
