Buying clothes

So it has been a few days shy of 3 months since my surgery.

I am feeling good most times. My stomach gets a little testy from time to time. Sometimes I can go along for a while and no problems and some days I am really reminded that my tummy is "new".

I started out at a large size 16 and now down to between 10 and 12, almost skipping size 14 entirely. I think I was in a 14 for a week or so. I had a few slacks in my closet that got me through, but now I find that I have to go out and purchase pants. I did a happy dance in the dressing room when I tried on size 12 and they were loose and had to go to a size 10. Wow. Never did I think it would happen so quickly.

I an browsing the clearance racks since I know that I will continue to lose and not spend a fortune on my pants. I am ok with my large blouses for now. Can always take them in a little if I need.

I actually bought a size 6 & 8 jeans on the clearance racks for now and have put them in the back of the closet. I do happen to get up and put on my clothes and they will just be too large. Never had this problem before. It was usually the opposite. Put them on and go out and buy a larger size.

Good 4 me! smile.gif
