I've been wearing the same two pairs of xxl stretch pants for like 8 months now and I finally decided to suck it up and go jean shopping. I ended up having a damn breakdown in the dressing room because I've managed to go from size 20 to size 24 in less than a year! Agghh!!! I feel awful. I knew I had put on 20 lbs, but didn't realize I had also added so many inches. I know, It's common sense, but I just didn't want to face the fact that everyone else could tell too All of my pre-op requirements will be done August 8th, so I'm praying for insurance to approve me quickly so I can get a date in September.

I've worn jeans once since I had surgery. It was about six weeks after and they were about six inches too big. Before I was about to move into a bigger size. It was an amazing feeling. I don't intend to go jean shopping until the fall though when I can't wear sundresses anymore. Congrats and good luck on your surgery!! You'll be in a smaller size before you know it.

That's amazing! I hope my progress is as good!
