Never in a million years.......

Ok, like the title said never in a million years would I have ever bought a pair of thong under prior to weight loss surgery! I was shopping and like all of you with the weight loss you need to buy things as you lose. Well, there they were...."the thong" starring @ me and I thought what the heck they are clearanced down to only $1.50 and are regular $12.00 so why not give it a try. Just thought you guys might get a chuckle out of that....so what have you bought to wear that you would have not worn prior to WLS? karie -107

so what have you bought to wear that you would have not worn prior to WLS? Two things. Clothes with a set in waist like jeans, and a belt. NEver thought I'd ever wear either. Nona

I have to admit, I felt the same as you did about the whole thong thing and like you I also gave in and bought one. I like em', specially now that I have nicer clothes and don't like panty lines. You get used to the feeling of em' after a little while. I am sure you'll find yourself buying more. I now find myself wearing alot less sleeveless tanks and tees because I am so embarrassed of my hanging arms. I can't wait to get those puppies fixed. Di~

I had to give in to the thong thing too. I have not butt to hold up even a size 5 bikini. Luvit~SunnyV@goal

Hi there Karie,Let me answer your question. So what have you bought to wear that you would have not worn prior to WLS? I now can wear an exercise bra with my shorts when I awalk. I was wearing thongs as a big woman, so that is not differenet . I just went and bought size 5 panties... talk about different huh? ..... I guess life does change after losing all this weight. I now can wear overalls. I love jeans overalls. There is not stopping me now. RNY 12/15/03........245 lbs 9/10/04.................104 lbs DOWN-105 PDS.

HI Karie, Let me correct the weight for the present.....140 lbs...

I too had to do the thong thing. Never would have thought I would have worn what I used to call "butt floss", but I like them now. I also bought a size medium camoflauge bikini....won't wear it in public, but i did wear it out back at our pool as long as no visitors were present. Who knows after PS, I may wear it in public. I also bought a size 4 jeans that are very tight but fit! Yahoo...I don't really like tight clothes but I had to have at least one pair of 4s. Have a great weekend. Tracy, are you okay. I am so worried about you Floridians, I don't know how much more you guys can take. I have a niece and her family in Orlando that we have not heard from in a couple of days. I hope all is well.

Hey Staci, Did you get that camoflauged bikini at Wal-Mart? If so I bought the same one this year, too funny. I wear mine in the back yard too. Di~

I am still too big for thongs, but I AM going to try them. All of my daughters wear them. My smallest daughter (I don't mean thinest, I am talking height wise) ...she is a health nut, 5' and all muscle, is pregnant. She just bought herself maturnity overalls. She looks so cute in them! That is what I thought of Lorraine, when you said you got overalls. I haven't made it to jeans yet. I love when you all post these kind of happy posts. They make me giggle all day. Allison

I had some thongs as a larger person so I can't say that, but I bought a short skirt and a skort. I would never have been brave enough to wear, nor would I fit in one before. Christy 336/168/140
