Clothing Size Problem



Recommended Posts

My women's size 18s are too big. Women's size 16 fits (16W), but after that i see a problem. Due to the size of my caboose, I need women's sizes. A regular size 16 is too small and there are no size 14 womens - at least not at JCP. I guess I have to wear the 16W until I loose enough weight to fit into regular size 16s.

Thoughts?

You might want to try some other stores. They might have different cuts that fit your body shape better. For example, Old Navy has three or four different styles you could try. Otherwise you could buy a bigger "regular" size and just have it taken in. I wouldn't waste too much money on this while you're still shrinking though.

That's funny. I was going to try Old Navy next. I don't waste too much money. I like to have a least 5 pairs of pants (one of them denim), I just bought a pair of Lee jeans and while they fit in the waist, they are horribly baggy in the thighs. They were $20.

In most stores, bigger regular sizes start at 16, but tomorrow I go to Old Navy. Usually I'd go on Ebay, but I'm at a weird place and have to try things on. Once I get into the size 6-14 range I have plenty of clothes stored - Ones that don't seem to go out of style.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
