Good day!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday. I had to work all weekend and taking care of people in the hospital makes me grateful for my health and my rny!

On Christmas eve, my dear sweet hubby was insisting on buying me some new jeans and a top for the holiday. I reluctantly went and then was so pleasantly surprised. I tried on 14's, too big, then the 12's, too big, and I cant believe I bought a size 10 short ladies levi's! The last time I went shopping, I had to buy 22 jeans from the Avenue (big girl store). I tried on some small tops and sweaters, that fit! But I did end up buying a medium red sweater with a white mock turtle neck for underneath.  What a pleasant surprise! I havent worn a 10 since before children 15 years ago.

Here's to a Happy and Healthy New Year my LW family!

Yeah for you!!!!  Congratulations! 

I just realized that you and I are just about identical....our surgery dates, weight stats, height , etc.!!  I'm just now getting into 10's too.  I'm a pear....big hips, bottom, and thighs--small waist, it makes it very difficult to find pants that fit well!

Sounds like you are doing great!  Happy New Year!!!

Peyton - I was the same as you, and still am kinda.  I found Levis 512 fit perfect on my journey down, and I still have a size 6 I wear.  They have a good fitting waist.

Just wait until you hit size 4 - it all seems to even out some.

I can't believe you've gone this long!  Your clothes must have been falling off of you!

Well, thats why the hubby was insistent on taking me out shopping. I had a couple of 16's from the big girl store I am still wearing and alot of xl tops. It helps with the layering and trying to keep warm!

Thanks for all the support!
