Shopping :)
Well, I finally broke down and bought some new clothes. I've gone from:
Bra: size 44DD to 38D (probably should have gotten a C)
Panties: size 22 to size 7
Pants: size 24/26 to size 16
Shirts: size 24/26 to size medium or large
Shoes: size 9 1/2 - 10 to size 8 1/2
I'm shocked so much can change in 10 short months. I can hardly believe our 1 year anniversary is here. I'm 23 pounds from my goal weight. I have my paperwork in to insurance for my TT now. Please keep your fingers crossed for me that they approve it. I'm saving my money now for a brachioplasty (arms). If I can get my arms and belly done I'll be the happiest of campers.
Way to go on the loss. I too am shocked at how much can change in such a short amount of time. I have gone from:
44DDD bra to a 36D
30-32 pant and pantie to a 8 panty and 14-16 pant
30-32 (4x) top to a med/larg
9 WWW to a 8 1/2 med shoe.
Keep up the good work and you will be at goal before you know it.

I am so shocked at how my sizes have changed also
Bra: 42DD to 36c
panties: size 9(snuggly) to size 7 (loose)
pants: size 20 to size 7
shirts: xxl or size 20/22 to medium
Shoes 9w(Tight) to 7 1/2 - 8 reg width
And I can actually buy stuff in Victoria Secrets and Fredricks.
My husband sure likes that!
My biggest problem is When I was bigger couldn't find the sizes I need now I see the bigger sizes and have to search for my size.
I am trying to decide if I wast a TT. I have excess skin but I could hide it in my clothes not sure if I want to endure the pain.
Good Luck with your TT. and other surgeries you are wanting.
Hey ya'll,
New clothes is fun. I love other people giving me their things and finding that their clothes are too big!!!
I have gone from my highest weight on 12/22/02 of 364 lbs., and 309 on my day of surgery (3/20/03) to yesterday's weight of 170lbs. even. I think I will probably lose another 4-5 lbs. this week because I have just gotten out of the hospital this past Monday from having knee replacement surgery on 1/20/04 (10 mos. after WLS) and I still have some swelling from the fluids, etc. I actually weighed 188.6 a few days after surgery and I almost freaked!!! They tried to calm me with "It's just fluid." but I still freaked until it did go away in 2 weeks .
Now for my stats:
Before: Bra 54E-F
Now: 34D ("D" only b/c have to fold-up breasts )
Before: Panties TIGHT 13-14
Now: comfortable 7-8
Before: Pants 5-6x or HUGE
Now: 14 (sweats) and 16-18 in dress pants and jeans
Before: Blouses 5-6x or 54-56
Now: 10-12 (from waist up) and 14-16 for straight shirts
Before: Shoes 7-1/2 - 8 w
Now: 7 - 7-1/2 medium
Fun, huh?!
Blessings,
