MAJOR NSV!!

So the other night I was near Flint and decided to stop by a Mens store there that I used to love to shop at -- it has been over 5 years since I have been there....cuz there really has been no joy in shopping once I got BIG~......I used to love to shop for clothes and great buys.....anyway- before surgery at my highest I was a 44 waist-- I have all sizes in the closet down to 38's - I really put most of my weight on the last 2 years....anyway, I thought I would stop and look around.....there were some pants I really liked and thought WTH I am gonna try em on.....I grabbed the 40's and off I went-- whats this-- WAY TOO BIG!  grabbed the 38's still big!!  grabbed the 36 and BINGO-- they fit like a glove.....I jsut had to sit there for a minute - the salesgirl asked me if something was wrong-- I honestly thought I was going to cry.....I told her I had just lost a lot of weight, and had not been a 36 in probably 10 years.....so I just wanted to enjoy this moment....well of course I had to buy them.......
If I do not loose any more I am happy!  but I am less then 2 months out so I am bound to loose more! YAY~!!

just had to share.......

Congrats! That's a great story.  Keep up the good work!

That's amazing in such a short time since your surgery.  Way to go!  My next pants will be from somewhere other than a "Big and Tall" men's store, and I can hardly wait.  But I've got quite a ways to go before I catch up with you, Mr. Size 36!  I'm still in awe...  Congratulations!

Nice FART!

Great Job!!! I just had surgery on the 17th. Looking forward to the day I can experience the same joy!

Way to go!! You're doing great is such a short time.

I've recently had a similar experience. When I went in for surgery my waist was 48". My regular work attire is jeans and about 3 weeks ago I bought a 40" waist. I wash them often and make sure to "shrink" them in the drier.

But, on the 15th we had tickets to the theatre and I "assumed" I could fit into a pair of my slacks from 10 years ago. I put them on and spent the next 2 hours trying to take them in. They were way too big.

So, I went shopping yesterday for a pair of slacks to wear for those times when jeans aren't appropriate. Imagine my surprise when I fit into a size 38" waist!! My goal is a 36" and I didn't think I was that close to the goal.

 That is an AWESOME story!  CONGRATULATIONS!  And YEA, you HAD to buy the pants...nice reward for all of your hard work!  Keep it up and enjoy!  Mike
