Crying in the dressing room

I am 8 months postop and had many complications. (Can't go into because of litigation). Anyhoo, I decided to go walking through the mall for some exercise this morning and decided to stop in at Old Navy just for S&G. Well, I saw this really cute sweater and pant set and wanted to try it on. Of course I went for the larger size that I usually do. It was too big. I couldn't believe it. There I was sitting there in a dressing room, half dressed and bawling my eyes out. The poor gal working there must have heard me cause she asked if I was all right. I finally got it together and asked her if she could bring me the next size down. I was so happy when that too was too big. I am finally down to a large and it feels good. I can only hope that in time, when I am able to eat 'normal' that I continue to lose and feel this good about going shopping.

yeah i love old navy too, i had the same experience at the one in auburn! i didnt even care the place smelled like vomit, i was so psyched!! congrads to you!!!!

Thanks. I was so excited, I had to share with people who could appreciate. How are you doing without the hubby there? I know you were having a hard time with everything lately. Hope you are well.

I say an audible thank you everytime I fit into something smaller.

You had good reason to cry. I look forward to the day that I can shop in stores like Old Navy w/out going into the men's dept to by t-shirts and jogging pants. I'm so happy for you.

Thank You. I can finally be happy for me too. Do you live close enough to come to our support meetings in Bellevue? We would love to have you there.

Unfortunately not. I live in Silverdale. I wish I did though.
