I wanted to buy a new pair of jeans for my birthday- maybe a nice, stylish pair. Hard to find jeans that fit. Most major retailers think I don't exist. Grateful for good old plain Walmart. Their jeans are as basic as they get, but they fit- I hate buying cloths because there are always very limited selections. My friends think

I have no sense for fashion- I do but I am very limited.

Well, yesterday was my last fat birthday 55-by my 56 birthday, I will be able to shop at Macy's, Kohl's-wherever I want, God willing. My surgery looks to be Jan 6. Maybe next year I will buy a pair of skinny jeans????. Prayers and peace to all.

Well I wish you all the luck with your surgery and your next birthday. I am anxiously waiting to see the surgeon and get my surgery date so I can start my journey, too..

I'm with you, gwunderle! My 59th birthday is near the end of December and I'm hoping to have surgery that month also. I've already told my husband that I'm planning on being close to goal if not at goal by the time I turn 60!

I wish you all the luck in the world to obtain your wish for your next birthday.

I made it to goal for my birthday this year and am very happy because I can shop almost any where I want.

To be honest I kinda went overboard on buying clothes for myself but hey I figure I have no intentions of changing my size so I look at it as an investment. LOL

Once again the very best to you with your upcoming surgery and here's to a healthier and happier you..

Happy birthday. I had my last birthday on October 24 also. I am so excited to look into the future and say that by my next birthda. I will be able to fit into some cute stylish clothes. Good luck

Thanks for the response. Nice birthday! Good luck with your surgery

Happy Birthday. I just has my surgery this month and my birthday is in April so roughly 6 months from surgery. I'm hoping to be a size 12 by then. I can't wait to go birthday shopping!

Happy birthday! You may want to go find a Men Wearhouse I know they carry larger size pants as I have bought a few from them.. They carry lucky jeans well into the upper 50's
