Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

For almost (10) years I have purchased the majority of my wardrobe from Lane Bryant. As a business professional I was always pleased with their selection of work attire.

Today I went there for the purpose of purchasing new bras and panties since NONE of mine fit anymore and they were having a sale. I saw a couple pairs of size 14 pants on the clearance rack and thought "what the heck"......

Unbelievable - the size 14 pants were literally hanging on my new LapBand body. Had my "OMG" MOMENT today. I no longer fit in plus-size clothing.

I LOVE MY BAND - it has changed my life!

I am waiting for that day. I shop at The Avenue though. I hate their sale/return policies and the local one has some very nasty clerks. I am waiting.......

and Congrats on a great NSV!

I know the feeling, gotta love it. I read a thread about a lady who was sad because she could no longer shop in her favorite clothing store because the clothes no longer fit. I kept thanking, I wouldn't be said about that....but you know what, it is a happy and sad feeling.

Congrats!!!!

I've just reached the same point. And, I know this will sound weird, but I'm a little bummed. I really like Lane Bryant. I told a friend this and she told me to try 'The Limited' or 'Express' because they are owned by the same company as Lane Bryant.

I think I am a weird one because being in normal sizes makes me feel a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. I'm used to doing almost all my shopping at Lane Bryant, Macy's Woman, and Target Plus Size Dept. I could hit all of those in 2 hours and know all my choices. Now, there are hundreds of stores and I don't even know where to begin.

I am anxiously waiting for my moment. I too have done years of shopping at Lane Bryant and the last several years only online shopping because it can be so dissappointing going shopping. I am so ready to be able to shop in "normal" clothing stores for the first time in my adult life. Congratulations to you on all your success.:scared2:

:thumbup:CONGRATULATIONS!!:scared2: I too cannot wait to be able to shop in a regular store. Although Lane Bryant and Avenue have clothes that fit my girth being that I am only 5'2 trying to find pants and jeans that fit has always been hard for me.

Congrats! I had one of these on Friday when I went to Victoria's Secret with my friend on our lunch hour. Being able to buy regular sizes and shop in those stores---I was so overwhelmed and happy I almost cried! Got measured while I was there too--talk about living on the wild side LOL!

Congrats again!

I know exactly what you mean Adagray. Except I'm not the hugest lane Bryant fan so I had even fewer choices. I'm still in a size 16 but once I hit 14 I don't even know what I'll do with myself. I have no idea how my skinny friends restrain themselves. I'm used to buying absolutely everything in the world that fits and looks good on me...because there were only about three things. Now what?

Congratulations, it is a strange and unsettling feeling to leave the clothing stores we have shopped at for so very long. The switch from CJ Banks to Christoper Banks was really odd for me! Leaving Lane Bryant for NY and Co was also odd. Coldwater creek goes form tiny to large sizes so I guess I never have to give them up!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
