Where are you size-wise?
Hi, Sari! Isn't this "tool" amazing? You are doing so well! I started out at 281 and wearing a 24 pants and anywhere from a 3-4x to a 34-36 on top. I'm now wearing a 16 pants and 18 top. Haven't taken my measurements in awhile, it would be fun to see where those numbers are. Looking in the mirror isn't near as painful as it was. I'm really feeling proud of my accomplishments, so far. I did gain a few lbs over the holidays but got right back to basics yesterday and 2lbs fell off!!! Thanks for starting this thread, it's fun to see all the progress! Jean
Prior to surgery, I wore sizes (tight) 3x, 26W-28W, 46D, 11 shoes
I now wear (comfortable) XL, 14W/16W, 38DD, and 10 shoes
Since surgery, I'm down 97 lbs. That's 117 lbs since my journey began Dec 22, 2006.
I've dropped clothes off at consignment shops and goodwill, and have been able to wear Victoria's Secret, New York and Co and Tommy Hilfiger!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!
I walk through stores and the mall and get noticed and get respect and service like never before. I'd have to wait around to ask for help, and now I am approachable anywhere I go! I LOVE IT!!!
