Hubby took me clothes shopping today, same ole 2 shops & wasnt really happy as they didnt have any wow factor clothes in, so hubby said lets try other clothes sops, i kept saying no they wont fit me theyre for slimmer people, So he grabbed my arm & i took some tops of the rails knowing it would be a waste of time, went to the dressing rooms & omg to my amazement they fitted, my legs went to jelly i had a huge smile on my face & i kept looking at the sizes to make sure i wasnt being fooled & i couldnt believe how small they looked compared to my type of clothes i would normally have to buy...

I spent about 2 hours in 2 shops trying on clothes, & knowing i can now go into more than 2 shops for clothes & mix with the slimmer people when buying clothes...

The store girls were fantastic towards me, i always thougt they didnt like larger women, thats so not true

I have gone from a UK size 30 to a UK size 22-20... woooohooooooo

Congrats! that must of felt really GOOD!

Hi debbie,

I am new to 'lapband talk' I have had my lap band op yesterday and feeling a little ill but should be ok in a few days. I was so inspired by your blog, good for you girl! Great to hear you went shopping and could fit into smaller size! Bye for now, Liz
