Wholly Cow!! I can wear that????

I made it through my first Thanksgiving Holiday after surgery.  It really wasn't that hard.  I was amazed.  I spent all day cooking and when it came time to eat, I could only eat a few bites of each dish.  I had only a couple of bites of pie for dessert and was ok with that!! What a great feeling. But the best feeling came this last Saturday when I had to go and get some new pants.  I started off in the Women's section but when all was said and done, I ended up fitting into and buying a pair of Size 16 Dockers upstairs in the regular sizes!! WOW!! I could hardly believe it.  I am finally out of plus sizes!!!!!

Congratulations, that is an awesome feeling. Beverly

Congratulations!  Doesn't that feel great? Linda

Linda,  It feels fantastic.  Just last night my mom and her husband bought me two new outfits and I didn't hate trying clothes on for the first time!

That is FABULOUS!  Great job!

Way to go!! I bet it was a great feeling. Keep up the great work.

Hey, that's great! I know what you mean about Thanksgiving-while my family was complaining about being so stuffed they wanted to die, I felt great! Like you, I had a little bit of each thing and felt fine. Congratulations on getting out of the plus sizes-it's a whole new world for you now! Enjoy your new freedom to shop virtually anywhere-it's a blast!

I made Thanksgiving for the 4 of us, me, my husband and twins boy/ girl who are almost 19 months old, I too only ate a few spoon fulls of what I cooked,  My kids ate more than I did.  My personal trainer gave me a box of clothes that used to belong to his ex sister in law who had RNY a couple of yrs ago, I tried some of them on, they are 10 sizes smaller, 3 pairs of blue jeans, I even need a belt for.  What a marvelous feeling.  I have'nt been able to wear jeans since I was a teen ager.  I will be 50 Thursday.  My how time flies!!

That is fantastic, Peggy!  What a wonderful feeling, I'm sure.  Happiest of holidays to you!

That is super FANTASTIC!!!
