Today: bought size 18 jeans, size xl sweatpants from the regular side, and last night I took a bath for the first time in forever. I measured my hips and I've lost 20 inches.

Oh and I'm a big sports fan and I get to buy all new jerseys for each of my teams and now I wear a medium... I used to hate that the axis was on the outside for all the world to see... Now I love it

The smallest clothes I own are now too big for me. I went from having only two complete outfits in 2X that fit (barely) back in May, to 1X, to XL, to L (pant sizes going down from 22, 20, 18, 16, 14) - all of which I already owned due to an Optifast weight loss back in '09. I'm edging into unfamiliar territory - MEDIUMS!! And sz12's! From here on in it is all unfamiliar territory.

Now, whenever I buy a sz12, I also pick up a sz10. I'm even eyeing sz8's and smalls on clearance racks - is it possible I could get THAT small? :-)

Its "that" time of the month...I feel fat and bloated.....but....my "I feel fat pants" are now a 16 vs a 22/24.

Also....although tops were lasting longer because they aren't as fitted...most of mine are too big now. I don't have one jacket that is even passable.

It was extremely cold outside this morning so I decided to look for my size 14 pea coat which I wore the first year I had the band now 2 months post op from bypass the coat fits and I've got room in the sleeves that I never had. I haven't been able to wear this coat for the last 5 years! I'm so excited!

I sure wish there was universal sizing.... I have clothes from a fourteen to a twenty, all fit well! All around the same size too, just different brands... Very frustrating when trying to purchase online.....

I agree! I hate this which is why I stick with only a couple brands. Usually Levis and Maurices.

      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!!
