My first post-surgery NSV!
Hi all!
I had surgery 3 weeks ago yesterday, and have lost 18 lbs. I also had to do a pre-op diet for six months, so I am down a total of 33 lbs. This weekend, I noticed that my jeans (a size 22) are big enough that I can take them off without undoing them! So, I went shopping for a couple of pairs of pants to get me by for a bit as I lose weight. I bought two pairs of pants in a size 16/18! Yippee! Of course, I also bought a couple of new bras as the girls have shrunk a good bit already as well.

And thanks for the welcome!
Paula,
I have needed new bras for a couple of months now, but I have held off. I know I will probably shrink more, but since I could fit my fist in my bra cup while wearing it, I figured I needed something now.

Thanks Stacy!
I didn't want to get confused with all of the teenagers around town with their pants hanging off their butts, so I figured it was time.

I live at goodwill and used places....I will be 1 yr out Jan 9th and I still am going through sizes in pants/jeans!! Just a thought...just give your self time if you head in to a used shop...takes a little bit of looking to find what you are looking for...different brands/run different...I started at a 16/18 and bought a size 4 pair of jeans last night at goodwill! Congrats...and don't get to use to your 16/18's I can promise they won't last long!! :)
