Hi Everyone! I went shopping today and was able to fit into XL tops and size 14 pants...although I had to bump up a size for jeans to a 16...but the best thing is I did not have to go to the plus size section. It was so awesome and I couldn't believe it was my butt in the pants I tried on...lol...I am 7 weeks post op and I have had one fill. I am still feeling restriction but not as much as before. I have been exercising on the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week. I am looking forward to my next fill and maybe instead of buying new clothes I will be heading to the consignment store.

Awesome job and inspirational!

That is awesome!!! Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking, what size were you to begin with?? Thanks!

Yay Cyndie!! Keep up the good work! Excited for you

I was a size 18/20 and a loyal Lane Bryant shopper and the 18/20s were getting tight...that is when I made my decision to get the band. I know this doesn't seem like a lot of weight to lose to some of you but we are each on our own journey. I just wanted everyone to know that if I can do it anyone can, trust me.

How exciting! You're doing a great job!

Congrats! I know how excited you must be.

Love it! Way to go ( =

I am still trying to get Lane Bryant to stop sending me emails every day. That's pretty exciting.

Consignment shops are the best!Such a good idea with so many changes going on so quickly! I am now into a size xl tops (wow) and 18 bottoms are getting a little saggy in the butt! When i am trying tops on and they are size XL I actually read it again when i take it off and check it again thinking it couIdn't be! I am just around the corner from no more Plus size shopping! I might actually like shopping soon! Congratulations to you!

Wooohooo, way to go! Even though I'm just starting (3/14/12), I know I will be there eventually!....Keep up the good work!

Great job!! I wish I only had 68LBS to lose but that is still a significant amount to need to lose and already over 30lBS 7 weeks post op is amazing. I am now 3 weeks post op and the last time I weighed at 2 weeks I was 18 down. I am refusing to go by any scales except my Drs for my official weight so i wont know how much I am down again until 4/3 unless they are willing to let me hop on the scale while I am there for my support group on Wednesday. I can say that my size 18's that were pretty tight before surgery are now loose, even right out of the dryer.

I sure hope I can do as well as you have!

Cyndie, have you had any stuck episodes???

Good job Cyndie! 10 yrs ago when I lost 70 lbs I remember the excitement when I didn't have to go into the plus size section. What was strange though is I felt like a fish out of water. I can't wait to feel like that again though!! Keep working hard and you'll be to goal in no time flat. Good Luck!

Awesome NSV. Congratulations. I was a tight size 26 when I started and am now in a 12-14 top and 16 bottom so I know exactly how you feel. Enjoy

how wonderful.. what a great job so far. im looking foward to trying on some of the lovely clothes ive got in my wardrobe still... i never got rid of them.

I love reading posts like yours! Way to go! I too am dropping sizes, but I have a closet full of clothes...all sizes. So, I am just getting rid of a lot of things...I don't have to buy anything but the other day I was browsing through the store and realized I don't need those BIG clothes anymore
