Ok... I was reading Linda's thread about Old navy- And her buying Jeans....

Well- I went shopping Yesterday and ended up in Kohl's

( gonna have to stay away from there!!)

I thought... hmmmmmm..... I need a pair of Jeans, wonder if I can fit any??

I picked up a pair of Gloria Vnderbuilts, picked up a 16 'cause they were Jeans and figured they wouldn't fit..... but am in a 14!!! The 16 was too big!! In JEANS!! I bought 2 pairs- only 17.97 each!!

No one here to take a pic of my butt....... LOL..... or I woulda shared a pic!!!:001_tongue:

He's a friend of mines from works husband, and when he pulled up he hugged me and said........." HOW MUCH WEIGHT HAVE YOU LOST???????

I didn't know his "helper"........... but I did notice him checking me out:blush:

Kinda funny, cause I'm such a goober when it comes to flirting... but he was FLIRTING!!Even I notriced it!! LOL

Chancie -

That is SO AWESOME (on the jeans) - congrats! I know what you mean about staying away from Kohl's - it's dangerous for me!

As for the guy flirting - go with it! LOL ... and ask him to take a picture of your ass in your jeans! :lol0:

You guys Crack me up!!

Thanks for all the wonderful words of encouragement! It really is a milestone, not wearing jeans in 15 years... it was an amazing accomplishment. But........

I think I'm gonna have to wash them in Hot Water and put them in the DRYER!!

Did I say put them in the dryer???

yep... abit big!!

So not gonna wear the other pair until I see what happens.

It's crazy- I'm still over 200 pounds, but in a 14........?????? I can't even remember the last time I was in a 14!!

I was wearing a very tight 16W (actually they didn't fit anymore) so really a 18 when I had my surgery. I was two weeks out and went shopping. Stupidly bought a size 14 and a 12 when I couldn't find any 16s.

Two months out from surgery, I decided to try the 14 on....took them to be hemmed. It took me 3 weeks to get them back because the place was never open... Wore the 14s on thanksgiving day and my daughter told me they were to big....now taking the 12s to be hemmed. Who would have thought that three months I would drop from a 18 to a 12.....

Good for you Mutti!!

Yep- the sleeve is wonderful for surprises like that!! I've slowed down abit, but still can't believe it- the 14 Jeans are deffinitly tooo big. I just havn't made it shopping to try on a 12- it suxs at times to be 'between" sizes!

      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!!
