Clothes size question...



Recommended Posts

I'm noticing that my 14W are getting a little big. I've always stuck to the Women's sizes because I have big thighs. But, I don't know where to go from here... I don't think they make a 12W. So, do I try a regular 12? A regular 14?

ETA: Obviously I need to just go to the store and try a bunch of stuff on... I just much prefer online shopping... LOL!

I went into JCPenneys, grabbed a bunch of tops & bottoms in various sizes, then just took my sweet time trying everything on... It was a wonderfully, non stressful, private moment. And I figured out what size I was because I had no idea! LOL!

Honestly, if you could fit into a regular 12, I'd go that way, even if it was tight. You'll get there soon enough, right?

I would say try a 14 regular. I have some 14W that are too big and the 14 misses' size fits perfectly.

Well, I ordered some regular size 12s that should be here on Thursday. They're curvy fit, so hopefully there's a chance they'll fit. If not now, I know they'll fit soon enough.

I was wearing a 16 -18 W. A few weeks ago I bought a 14 r at the local big chain store. This past weekend I went to the outlets and found shorts on sale for a ridiculous price and bought a 12 r while the 14 cheaper jeans still fit so do the better brand 12's. Try several different brands ll cut differently.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
