my kids accidently pulled off two different skirts and a pair of shorts the first time I lost weight with my band (IN Walmart and in LOWES!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I got to buy new clothes after that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steph, I like your idea about posting them above the scale, but I think I will take it one step further and post it in the pantry and on the fridge. That would be a good reminder whenever that urge to eat something not so healthy strikes.

Well, I just spent the day shopping for my trip next week to my banded dtr's in KS. I was a 3-4X top and 26-28 bottom before WLS. Let me tell you. I bought 16-18 tops and a 16-18 sweat outfit with a "hoodie" mind you. I was flying high. People thought I was crazy. I was turning in circles and "Yahooing" all over the place. (not quietly either) My husbsand just stood there and laughed at me. Was really fun. I didn't buy much because I still have 35-40# to go yet but what a nice feeling. Makes all the effort worth while. What a nice NSV.

*I took a bunch of clothes to the consignment store

*I gave about 20 pairs of pants the next size down to my good friend who has been out of work for six months.

*I bought some clothes on sale the next couple of sizes down and flew through one size before I wore them.

*I bought a beautiful outfit to wear to a cocktail party with my husband's new work people. I've never met them before and I won't feel self-conscious about how I look now. I'm going to wear it to my daughter's wedding on the cruise ship in October too.

*I bought a pair of 'girlie' shoes to wear with the outfit. They are 3 1/2". I can't remember the last time I wore 3 1/2" heels. I've been walking around the house in them to practice walking in them again. lol

*My latest NSV is really a scale victory. I broke my stall and now have less weight to lose than I've already lost. Hooray! (in my very ambitious goal)

The regular size blood pressure cuff fits! I'm three weeks out and down 24 pounds.

[*susan* 1,709]

That is wonderful, bewitched! And, welcome to our forums!!

Carol do you think a 38 blouse will be too

big for you? I picked it out of the closet

but I can look upstairs where all my clothes

are.

I was totally stoked today! I was able to buy bras from a general clothes store paying only $35 for 2 bras! I normally would have to go to a specialty store (1 hour away in the city) and pay around $90 for each bra. had a grin on my face all day from this win! My mum was with me at the time and to see her smile with me was a victory in itself!

excelent day

Hopefully this keeps me on the straight and narrow!!!

Dange, that is a great NSV! Finding bras that fit larger size woman who are well endowed can be difficult and expensive.

[Oregondaisy 2,020]

I never had that problem. I hardly have any boobs left.

[Chancie 65]

Yep.... Bra's were horrible to find! And then I had to buy EXTENSIONS!! Uggggggggg!!

The first shopping trip I went on to a "regular" store was Kohl's and with a good friend I don't see very often, I was trying on a blouse and asking her opinion, and she was kinda nervous at first but she finnally told me I need to "lift" the girls.... So she ran and found me a bra and I couldn't believe it fit... AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE !

The "girls" are definitly leaving me.... but I'm OK with that!!!!:tongue_smilie:
