I must share!

Since my surgery, I have not bought even a pair of sox. My lovely daughter has bought me something new every couple weeks. Well today, I said "What the heck, I'm going shopping" Let me tell you, I went directly to "big girl" section. Old habit! Everything looked soooo large. Decided I would check out petite section. I tried on an 18 and low and behold, it fit! Then I tried on a large size sweat suit and it fit! I could not believe my eyes. What a wonderful feeling. I ended up not buying, but oh the wonderful feeling. My daughter has bought 18's, which I can wear, and all the way down to 14s, which I can't wear at this time. It was wonderful to try on smaller sizes in a store. Different than when my daughter brings me a sack of clothes. I am amazed!

good for you ! congratulations on all your weight loss So how much did you lose so far? well keep up the good work. you know you really did deserve to buy yourself the sweat suit you worked hard to get down to that size. well all is well take care cause I care Deanna

I havel 54 lbs.

Hi Marla! I am really happy for you! We are surgery sisters! I am down to sizes 18's (on the top) and 20's (on the bottom...for extra caboose!) I have not had a chance to go shopping for myself either but I am really going to enjoy it when I can! Have a great day! Bernice.................

Ain't it grand! I am so pleased with my "new self". As I know you are. I pulled a pair of winter pants out this morning, size 20, they were too big! Have a good day.

Hi Marla, Congratulations... I went from a size 18/20 to a 14... now I need to get some more jeans... and will probably go tonight... hopefully a 12 will fit... it is so hard not going to the big girl section.. just habit like you said... we had the same surgery date.... Debra

I have gone from 26/28 down to 18/20 and it is wonderful. Sizes very from brand to brand. In one store I could wear a 20, the next store an 18. I have some knit pants 22 that I still wear. Baggy, but what hte heck!

i went shopping last night... 6 different stores.... and finally found a pair of jeans that fit right.... 14 short... I did try on a 12 but not yet... still too tight.... The last time I was a size 13 was 20 years ago.....
