Bye bye plus size department



Recommended Posts

I have been a little dissapointed because I have been stuck just below fifty pounds lost for the last month.I want to make fifty in five months.But I went shopping in the misses department and a large womens paint was to big and a 1x blouse swallowed me whole.

I went to the juniors department. I fit in a medium pair of pants and a large top. I told the lady in the plus size department see ya Im shopping this side of the store now.She knows I have had surgery and was very happy for me.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: GO BANDY GO BANDY GO BANDY

That is so exciting, congrats! One of my goals is to be able to walk into Victoria's Secret, find something sexy that actually fits me and be able to wear it for my hubby! :uwelcome:

I've been in the "reg" sizes for a while now, but everytime I walk into a store with a plus size too, I always start looking in the plus size first.

Congratulations on your new sizes.

Unfortunately, Victoria Secrets is not a place I can shop, still got the big hooters.

HA!! I just went shopping yesterday & had a funny thing happen. I have always automatically gone to the Women's department because that's all that ever fits me. I got some size 1X clothes & headed to the dressing room. NONE of them fit me - TOO BIG!! I went to drop off all the clothes & the lady taking the clothes said to me - "Do you want to keep any of these?" I told her they didn't fit & I'd have to keep trying. She whispered to me - "I think you might be happier shopping in THAT section." (She pointed to the teeny-boppers area.) I truly thought she was joking!! But, I headed over there & picked up the size LARGE & they fit perfectly. I was doing the Happy Dance in the dressing room!!

I have officially checked out of the X club!! (1X, 2X, 3X, 4X) I never thought I'd see the day. I'm a size LARGE!! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
