My chronically skinny friends wont get this and my overweight friends immediately mae "envy comments".... so I come here. I can buy normal clothes! I have NEVER bought clothes at costco despite it being my parents' favorite store, Today I bought 2 shirts there! Larges! Nd they're loose! I felt super excited. Had to share w/people who get it!

Totally get it! I bought a cute Green Tea sweatshirt from Sam's Club the other day - Large.

This summer I was in a "regular" size store and spotted a pair of shorts that looked cute. Size 14 - I took them to the fitting room and tried them on. I cried when I realized they fit. I haven't been a 14 in forever! I didn't bother looking at the price tag, I just bought them. I paid way too much for them, but who cares - that meant something to me!

Here's to you buying "normal" clothes and many more purchases to come! (I can now wear my sons t-shirts and sweatshirts! LOL)

Fit into a few of my mom's cast-offs...a 1x tee pre-op and some XL tanks post-op. Feeling kind of excited and hopeful about buying clothes again. Bought a few activewear tanks the other day...2x... But whatever. Yay!

I bought a pair of size 14 pants and wore them to work Thursday. A co-worker said "I almost got some pants just like that. You are shopping in normal sizes now. " I kinda went back to my office and cried. She knows I had surgery. I am happy but mad it has taken so long to get to this point.

Oh, yes, I get that! I love their yoga pants! Bought the XLs, then the Large, and now I think I could use a medium. It's so liberating! Keep on doing that happy dance - being thin never gets old!

      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!!
