That whould be great... and soooo appreciated. I went to Catherines today and hit the Clearance rack. Got a pair of jeans for a decent price. The ones that are too big for me are a 9 Red. These are actually a 7 Blue (if you know anything at all about the crazy numbering system at Catherines/Lane Bryant) And adding to that.... they are actually a petite. I have NEVER worn a petite before. I think my legs have gotten shorter!!!! :smile2: The chart there said a 7 is comparable to a 24. I didn't believe that. I still can't squeeze my big belly into a 26, let alone a 24!!!! I asked the girl at the store and she said that chart is off. (I would say wayyyyy off).

Still dreaming of the day I can get into a "real" size 7!!!

:thumbup:

I can't figure those sizes out either! I got a pair of the Lane Bryant Right Fit Jeans - size 3! BUT now they are too big! I'm trying to find the receipt so that I can return them! I would be happy to get a size two. I really liked the way my butt looked! Ha! 90 days til my surgery! Yippie!

Wow.... a size 2. Great for you. Once you have your surgery shopping at LB will be a thing in the past for you :sneaky: I know you are excited for it..... heck, I am excited for your surgery. Can't wait to see how absolutely fab-u-lous you look :sad:

I don't shop at Lane Bryant anymore, but when I did I HATED their "right size" campain. They wanted to measure me everytime I went to try to find jeans, but I never could find any that fit well after they did that.

Lucky you!!

but when I did I HATED their "right size" campain. They wanted to measure me everytime I went to try to find jeans, but I never could find any that fit well after they did that.

And their sizes are so freakin weird. A blue 7 fit me so much better than a yellow 8 (which were quite tight). :sneaky: Go figure.....

The blue is what I got too, BUT I was thinking a red might be better for me since I have bigger hips and thighs. It's the upside down triangle or is that the right side down triangle. I don't know! I just know I have big thighs! I went yesterday to exchange my 3's for a 2 or 1 and they have that style on sale for $19.99 now. I found some cute blouses and exercise pants for $16.00. I couldn't find my receipt so I had to do an exchange! If I had taken the refund it would have been half of what I originally paid! I hestitated buying jeans since I am not sure what size I'll be after December. BUT I also didn't want to get cheated! IF they don't fit, I'll just take them back again!

I am currently looking for a long nightie - mumu type thing to take to Mexico with me for recovery time. Not that I want to look hideous, but I will need something modest and fairly decent to wear in the hotel room and to venture out for Breakfast in the lobby. Yuck! I'm going to be scary! I am pleased, however, that I'll be able to shower by day 3. I'm going to stay in the surgicenter for 3 days. I'm getting excited and scared at the same time!

Dee----

You'll get a kick out of this. I was reading posts earlier and Kayleigh pointed to your picture and said "that's you, right?" She was so suprised when I told her it was "Miss Dee" and not me.

      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!!
