It's official!....I no longer need to shop at Lane Bryant! I was in Nordstrom Rack today with a friend and where do I head as soon as I walk in the door - PLUS SIZES! And then I picked out about 10 tops in a 1x...my friend kept telling me - you are NOT a plus size anymore! But in my mind I still am (was) and I took the clothes to the dressing room. YEP - they were all too big! And shockingly not just by a little! I was shocked and very surprised! Do you mean to tell me that I can go back to looking and shopping in "regular" stores! Talk about a great day and incredible NSV!!!!! Wwwoooooooo-hooooooooo!

Smaller sizes are an amazing feeling. Today I was able to shop in 3 regular stores. I have not done that, for me, in over 30 years. I was a size 24 last summer and I am an 18W today. Good thing my grocery bill is so small; I am spending the money on new clothes. I am feeling better every day.

I am in the same spot! What a great feeling! I skipped size 16 completely and went right into 14.

Congratulations!! That must be such a great feeling!

I'm sure when I get there I'll be the one crying in the change room in disbelief.

Lock up the credit cards lol ;-)

Such a wonderful feeling! I felt the exact same way when just last week I had to go shopping so I had something to wear to a 4 day training class I'm in this week. I did all my shopping at banana Republic and Ann Taylor. Breezed right by Lane Bryant. I've never been so happy. Also cleaned out my closet of everything that was too big for me, hence the reason for the shopping trip. I literally had no business casual type clothes that fit.

This has also been a big hope/goal for me. I have recently been able to order the larger sizes at the Gap, and I just love their dress pants for work. I'm thinking goodbye to LB too!

Congratulations on your success! I see we have similar starting numbers and goals!

Ok girls don't jump ship so fast!! LB runs out of mid sizes quickly, and you can find "smaller" sizes on clearance! I just ordered 18's, all on deep discount!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
