Fitting into a size 14..at 228lbs
I buy my clothes from J.C. Penney, Hechts, Boscovs, Express and Dress Barn. I wear a 13/14 in skirts, blouses, capris and some jeans (depending on the cut). I wear a 16 in dress unless they have an empire waist, then I can do a 13/14. I am 5'5", but I was never flabby, always been solid. The skin is just now getting saggy and baggy. I am already making call and researching for the best doctor to do a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I'm thinking about getting in contact with the Doctor from the TV show Dr. 90210 because he does really great work. After I am complete with those items, I'm having an eye, thigh and arm lift, skin resurfacing.
CONGRATS on the 14s -- I feel very fortunate to have a wonderful PS in our area -- he also gives discounts to WLS patients I, too, will have ALL the work done -- as pretty much all my life I've left something unfinished, and by golly -- I'm going to finish this journey My plans are to lift and augment the girls, say bye-bye to the bats first... then moving down the line to the tummy, back, butt, pub.... then last but not least the thighs... and if my face falls, too - LOL then I'll have that tightened/rejuvinated. I am by no means looking forward to any more surgery, just looking forward to sailing down the hiway of life as a thin/healthy/nice looking person!
Good for you!
I am lucky to only likely need a tummy tuck and MAYBE a boob lift and a nip tuck under the chin. I have escaped sagging thighs and batwings.
I am solidly built also and weight 218 at 5'7...I go to Dress Barn now and am in a 16 in some outfits and a 18 in others. I am truly "big boned".
It is a relief to escape the fat shops.
I will be even happier when I can shake this plateau...I want to be under 200 by July.
