When I retired I put all of my jeans on hangers in the closet. Just before I retired April 08, I could only wear about 2 pairs of them because they were a tight size 26w. And the last pants I purchased for my big retirement day was a size 28W.
After I retired I put the jeans away on hangers in the closet, and began wearing stretchy type pants and sweatpants. The kind that have elastic in the waist.
I told my niece and daughter the story of the jeans. Today after my workout, as we dressed in ther locker room. I pulled a pair of those ole jeans out of my duffel bag.. I held my breath, and My niece and my daughter watch as I pulled them up and began to button the waist. (So good So far) then the zipper. (with ease). The ultimate test. I could put my hand in my buttoned zipped jeans and adjust my underwear that are also to big, with room to spar. We all laughed as I did the happy dance, right there in the ballys locker room.
How Cool!

no surgery date yet!

YaHoo for you Mary. How exciting. All of my clothes are up north now. The clothes I've got down here are all too big, so I'm always pulling them up. :) I kind of enjoy doing that now. It won't be long now before I'm up north and can try some of my smaller clothes again too.
How exciting for you!

I'll be in Interlochen. It's just SW of Traverse City. I'll be really busy unpacking and purging for the next few months. I'll have boxes of stuff to be sold at a yard sale in the spring. Hopefully the mosquitos won't be too bad in the spring. I'm hoping to make enough money to get a new garage door opener. We'll see.

I just bought a couple pairs of jeans. Lane bryant jeans in size 5 and in size 4 (for the future). I was a size 28 at the beginning of my WLS journey, now I'm a size 22. I wore my old jeans yesterday, they were so baggy I had to roll them at the top.
