What are you still wearing?

Hi Tek I kept a 6x (men's top), my very stretched 4X women's top and my women's plus size 40 pants, but only use these to remind myself of where I started out. I am size 2/4 now so the clothing is HUGE on me... I can put my entire body in one pant leg and still have room left over.... Caroline http://abutterflyemerges.com

Caroline--Great new picture!

Thank you Lynda Great to see you hear! I haven't been online much these days with the move and all, so it's nice to come here and "see" old friends Hugs Caroline

I agree Lynda! Caroline your new pic is beautiful! You have had an amazing transformation and I have enjoyed keeping up w/your journey. You are an inspiration to many! Jeannie PS....So whatcha up to this weekend Lynda? I'm sure Golf is on the agenda.

I have a group of tee shirts that I used to wear as tight shirts and now I wear them as loose sleep shirts. I know exactly what WP means when she writes about "parts" falling out. That robe sounds really cuddly.

I kept one outfit for a reminder only. I don't put them on except for new support meeting people once in a while. Everything else is gone a long time ago and I am so glad!

I have 2 sweat shirts one has my name on it, the other is from my work, and last fall/winter I wore them over the long sleved t-shirts to keep warm. Kim

The only thing I have from my pre-op days are a pair of sz.22 Jeans and a size 26 Top. I kept them as a reminder of where I came from too. I have a picture of me in one pant leg. I take them out every now and then to show people. I have a few pair of shoes that I can still wear. It's funny people still ask me if I have this size or that size that I can give them. I tell them they are long gone! I found that my taste in clothes has changed too. Things that I wore before, I wouldn't now. I always had style, but had to adapt to my size. Now I can wear just about any style there is. I can pick and choose to my liking. Great post Tek! Enjoy the holiday weekend.

Hey.....I didn't even keep most of my shoes....as my feet did get a lot smaller. I have kept like 2-3 nightgowns......just because they are comfy and I just throw them on to sit on the puter or run out and get the dog or something. I did have a nice 3X satin one....I loved it cause it was so comfy.......but one day I was walking around the living room and my girls were laughing something terrible.......apparently when I bent over one of my boobs came out the neck and was on top of the gown....I realized then it was just too big, for stuff to be falling out without realizing it Take Care jesi

I have kept a pair of 28 jeans to remember. and I also have a pair of eeyore pajamas that i love. everyone laughes at me because the pants could wrap around me twice. thank goodness for draw strings. but I just love the PJ's. it has eeyore drinking coffee. I just finally got rid of some other sizes and got clothes that actually fit and look pretty good. With 3 kids sometimes I forget to get for myself. But now I can wear wear some of my teenagers shirts. They pitch a fit and say mom get my shirt off. But now that I have bought some new clothes I catch them going out the door and me saying that is my clothes. lol
