I went SHOPPING!!!!
Hi all,
I am just under 1 month out from surger and could NOT be happier!!! All totaled, I have lost about 70lbs. This includes 48lbs pre-op, per my surgeons requirements.
Last time I bought clothes, I could not get into a size 28 jean and had to order a size 32 online and have them shipped to me. Fortunately, they did fit, but were a bit baggy.
Anyways, those are now FALLING off of me, so I knew I needed to get some new ones. I went to CATO, I LOVE That store and found a pair of jeans that ROCK!!! They look Awesome on, I love what they do for the dierrier!! Oh, and they are a size 26!!!
THEN, I needed some Khaki's for work... The largest they had was a 24, I thought, ah what the heck! I will try them and see how far up they will go... THEY FIT!!!! Yes!!! A size 24!!! I got both pairs of pants, plus one of the ladies help me and I had like my own personal shopper picking out tops to try on to go with my new bottoms!! All in all, I walked out with 6 tops and 3 pair of pants. (the last pair of pants were jammy bottoms). I also got some jewelry.
Everything I got was well fit, so I should be able to get a good MONTH's wear out of them! LOL!!
I just had to share!!
I LOVE MY SLEEVE!! And can't wait to keep watchin' the sizes drop and the pounds melt!!
Love to you all!!
Angie

now do me this huge favor dont go out buying new clothes...you gonna be wasting your money..what fits today will be today is gonna be to big in a week or so...Go thrift store shopping and find out about a clothing exchange...OWLO has one in November in Norman and you are welcome to come...the clothes are FREE....heres the deal bring what is to big for you and get what you can wear..my thing is I dont just get the size I am in but will get smaller sizes cause I know I will sooner or later wear them and when they get to big I bring them back the next time...
I have found some great buys at Goodwill and at 1/2 off NBC Store..the later is brand new name brand clothes at really cheap cheap prices you just have to look the things over good cause somemay have ripes and tears in them...I have bought calvin swimwear there for 2 bucks not to mention chicos for 1.50 tops and up to 12.00 compared to going to their store and paying 30 to 100.00
