Almost lost my pants
My husband and I were out shopping today, trying to tie up all our Christmas loose ends. As I was walking through Kohls my husband came jogging up behind me and said "dear your pants are falling down".
Since my LBL 3 weeks ago, I have been wearing jogging pants so today I decided to wear a pair of regular pants. Because I am still a little numb, have my drains and have a binder on I don't feel things moving around. When I grabbed my pants I soon realized that if it weren't for the binder, I would have been flashing my butt to the world. Things are still not computing that when they take 13lbs off your midsection and you drop 5 inches in your waist and hips, that even with swelling your pants are gonna be to big.
Thankfully we were in a clothing store cause I promptly bought some leggings and long sweaters to help me though the holiday season.
Happy Holidays!

haha, I know the feeling (or lack of it between the numbness and binder), my husband and kids are always on butt alert-warning me when the pants start to slide. I'm 5 weeks out now and although my pants fit around the middle, they are loose around my butt and thighs (my waist is still swollen I guess....) so every once and awhile down go the pants!!

What a fun and funny experience!
I too am 3 weeks out from LBL .....although I can get into my pre-surgery pants/jeans my butt is still very swollen so I don't think there is any way they will fall off. I'm so numb too I'd never feel them slide down either. I'm going shopping in a couple of hours I may but a belt on just to be sure. LOL
