Congrats to you! I remember getting into those old jeans from the back of my closet and how exciting it was. The day I can comfortably shop at a Kohls or other regular store will be something major and I cannot wait!

Congrats Honey! So proud of you. I totally relate to the clothes. I was in a 5x or 6x when I got my surgery last June. I am down 125 pounds and in a size 2x or 3x now. I can cross my legs, tie my shoes, ride in other peoples car with no fear the seat belt will be too small, sit in restaurant booths, go to any movie theater, and buy clothes at LB, Macy's, Kohls, etc. I still hav 75 pounds to go, but my life is so much more active and mobile. I thank God for the surgery - and for this website. Way to go on the jeans!

I am so happy to be wearing size 30 jeans! I shortened my bra straps today, too! I am so glad to have turned around and be losing weight! I was 407 and afraid I wouldn't be able to buy clothing anywhere if I gained any more weight. I weighed 390 when I was sleeved Jan 14 and have lost another 31 lbs in 3 weeks. Today I put on an old pair of size 30 jeans from deep in my closet and was so thrilled!
People often talk about how happy they are to no longer be dependent on stores like Lane Bryant but it has been a few years since I could shop there and I am actually excited to be able to again. Hopefully I'll be in a 28 before too long and able to wear their clothes soon. I was pretty much relegated to the Ulla Popken website before this because I love beautiful clothes and they were the only outlet I'd found with sizes up to 36/38 and decent quality. I hate the crappy clothes at WomanWithin, besides the name sounds like you have to shop there because you ate someone. Catherines clothing has weird fit issues and is geared towards women in their 60's. When they started closing Fashion Bug stores, I was really bummed, but soon I will be able to shop many places. Once you are in a 24 or less you can shop at LL Bean, Lands End, Eddie Bauer, Macys, even Nordstrom. I CANNOT WAIT!!

sweetpea007 got a reaction from WeightStruggle in Revision scheduled for March 19; freaking OUT!
I had my band taken out on Feb 4th, and I feel so much better without it, on March 29th I will have the sleeve done.
Good luck with your upcoming surgery.
