I swear she was as surprised as me... said she honestly hadnt tried on any new sizes... WOW!! You wouldnt believe how great she looks in clothes that FIT!!!

Thats awesome Melissa and Linda and it is so great that you got to share it with her.
I cant wait to see you Melissa sounds like you are stylin.
Biggs huggs and a loud wooooooooohoooooooooooo

Thanks Lisa!  I don't know that anyone would ever accuse me of "stylin", because I have no sense of style whatsover, but thanks for the compliment!

Melissa

I had noticed in her avater picture the other day she was looking quite thin.  Congrats to you Lisa....now get out and get some clothes that fit!!!  I have had pretty good luck at the Value World on W 38th street and also the DAV on Madison Ave.  What size are you looking for?

Thanks Jeannie!

I really do need to get some new clothes.  I honestly have no idea what size I'm looking for....  the pants Linda Kay was referring to were size 20's, but I'm not convinced that the pair I tried on didn't run big or something.  I still find it hard to believe that I can wear size 20 pants and button them without problem.  I can't wrap my mind around it.  Especially when before surgery I was wearing 5x shirts and I have no idea what size pants I would have been in because I always wore the biggest elastic waist pants I could find (usually 30/32).

Even at clothing exchanges, I always go to the bigger sizes first.  It's hard to convince myself to look at smaller clothes.

Melissa

Thanks Pam!

The reason I was raiding her closet was because we have a wedding to attend this weekend...maybe I can get a good picture at the event and put on here.  It's definitely past time to update the avatar because I'm sick of looking at that picture of me!

I hope all goes well for you this week!
