What are your dream jeans? I'd like get some hot jeans but I feel embarrassed going to shops with tiny girls working there. I feel to old & to fat. I'm afraid if I buy online I won't get the right fit. Any suggestions?

Something cute and tight and doesn't leave a ring around my stomach. I would like some type of skinny jeans with some kick your azz knee high boots :-)

Not your daughter's jeans- these are meant to be VERY flattering ... I have a secret yearning to have my bum look good in these.

When I was losing, I liked to go to stores like an hour before they closed. The staff was usually busy doing their closing duties, and I could try on clothes, figure out size I was, etc. Also, it's not really that crowded. I recommend trying on. Not all sizing is the same! Gap and Old Navy have different definitions of what a size 6 is!

I am finally wearing my dream jeans. Now I'm a guy, but we care about clothes, too! At least I do. I wear destroyed (holes already in them when I bought them) from Old Navy in size... 33 waist! I was a size 46 waist a year ago. I haven't worn this size since the 1980s. Every day is a surreal experience looking in the mirror and thinking, "Is that thin guy really me?" I never want to wake up from this dream! Ever!

I noticed you are in the Dallas area support group. Have you tried Plato's Closet? They are a second hand store that resales brand name clothing. 90% of the clothes are current styles / trendy. They have dressing rooms. I've never felt awkward trying on clothes there.

Tell me what you mean about The Gap. I wear 4's and 6's from there, but the different styles don't all fit the same. Some are 4's some require a size 6. WTH???

I recommend going window shopping any and everywhere that strikes your fancy.Whereas I use to hate, HATE, going shopping, now it's fun. I don't always buy something but it's fun to just go and try on cute clothes!!!

I've never been to Plato's Closet, but there is one right here in Las Colinas. Maybe I'll check them out today! Thanks!

I mean, if I buy a pair of jeans from The Gap, I wear a 6. Actually, I've lost a bit more weight and I'm wearing a 4 now. But at the time I posted this, it was a 6. But if I try on jeans at Old Navy, the size 6 is too tight. So, in my experience, size isn't the same everywhere, and I always try on before I buy. Make sense?

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
