summer sizes

Hi ya'll Post WLS I swore I would never be afraid of my clothes again. The truth is in the pudding and easier said than done. I have not out grown my clothes although I fear it. What are your stats and compared to last year? I am in a 12 if it is generous, a size 2 tight at Chicos. refuse to buy a 14 or size 2.5 at chicos. Post tummy tuck, I would be a 14 if without surgery but am pleased to be a tight 12 - those damn thighs. My waist/flat tummy is small and I continue to be surprised when men slip their hands down my pants - is this something skinny women have enjoyed for all their lives??!!!?? YOWZER!! I feel heavier in the upper area - my blouses are tight and I find shirts not accommodating my buxomness; have my boobs grown?????. it is like my whole body changed - which i guess is the point. My D cup suddenly needs a larger shirt size?????!! What are your experiences????? What size do you buy/wear for this upcoming season??? Lots of love, hugs and friendship, Tiff

Hey Tiff...good question! I'm still in a 8-10 but the 8 is a lil tight. When I gained weight from when I had my BA/BL all the weight went to my thigh, butt, and tummy. I DEFINITELY wanna keep the thighs and butt. The tummy..... It has to go!! Last summer, the 8's where lose...I want them back that way!! My tummy won't ever be flat, so smaller is okay with me. I just need to be back in my bikini! Of course my tops are bigger because of the new boobs...I was a lil mad because I had to buy large tops, but I guess it's okay. April

I was smaller last summer but not a size difference I do notice things fitting different my thighs are ginormaous ( I think) maybe becuase that is the only thing I have not had lifted...lol..... but yes I do see my pants tighter on the thighs and blouses tight around the bustline but loose in the tummy so they look sort of funny. I have never ever had to wear anything fitted but I may start just to look like I have a figure as far as the swimsuit goes I need a Large top but a small bottem all to cover up with my little gause coverup because I don't want anyone to see my thighs...... Hey how is it going with the B-12 patch I notice lots of increased energy the day I take it however in a couple of days it wains and I am still having trouble with sharpness...have you had your levels checked since you started it ? I was wondering the other day if I should.... just to make sure it really works and is not just in my head...you know ? HAVE A GREAT WEDNESDAY TORI

Hi Tori The B12 patch is working well for me. I put it on every Monday to start the week off with a clear head. I also noticed a change after a few days and for two weeks I put on a second one on Thursday and ended up with a bad case of the shakes. So the dr reinforced the directions of wearing it for 24 hours once a week. I've not had any blood work done to check the levels. I do think they work! T

Hey Tiff! Since my TT was in July I definately see a difference, lol. I'm wearing 14s and before hand was in 16s and 18s. I am definately enjoying shopping... but wearing the clothes I bought without feeling a tad foolish is what I have a problem with.

I know what you mean, I have been trying some new styles and it's sometimes hard to step away from the conservative clothes I always wore. I recently bought some bright pink pants and the first time I wore them I felt foolish and then realized guys were looking at me because I look GOOD in them.

I want Pink Pants!!! Those be clubbin clothes!

Hey Tiff, Long time no see you. I'm actually a size down from last summer. I'm an XL on top and a M or L on the bottom depending on who made the garment. I am so content with myself that I don't really look at the sizes anymore. I want it to fit good and feel good. That's what matters the most to me. Maybe just because I'm old and not really trying hard to find the love of my life. I found him over 20 years ago. But I understand. I do enjoy when people tell me how nice I look or ask where I bought something they are admiring. Hell I'm still a clothes horse and that wont change no matter what size I am. On the boob front, this is the first time since high school that I haven't been a D. Down to a C and don't quite fill that out either. But that's OK too. Sending hugs, Ronna

Hey Sweets!!! Sizes are all different for the most part but I wear a size 6 on ave. for most clothing. I wore a 6-8ish last year too but they just fit better now with the skin gone in the front. Shirts..... LOL... man why did I want big boobs again??? You guys would have laughed your ass off at me the other day. I was trying to pull my exercise top off (those tight thingies) and could NOT get it over my boobs and off. It took a lot of effort to get off HAHA! Maybe they swelled up or something I don't know! Also I bought the cutest blouse, my kids and b/f were watching me try it on over my tank top... and I couldn't button it up. They all thought it was pretty funny though! Other than that I've bought like 15 bikinis so far. Going to spend as much of the summer as possible on the lake and I'm going to learn to wakeboard! Woo hoo! Hugs and stuff, good to see you guys posting again! Renee

I AM SMALLER !!!!!!!!!!!! Ha La Ha Ha Ha ... last year at this time I was in my 8th month of pregnancy! Now I am only in my second month. I am really, really floppy in my belly. I talked to my OB about possibly piggybacking a panni after my c-section. That would help me a lot but an LBL would be even better, but I have 4, almost 5 kids so I cannot really justify the $$$ for now.
