I was sleeved April 20 and was able to get back into the pool in mid-May. I initially wore the bathing suit I had left over from the end of last season. My birthday was in June so I ordered two suits for my birthday. One a size lower than last year's, and the second a size lower than that. Today, I finally tried on the second suit and it fit!

For someone who started as such a high weight as I did there is a lot of room between bathing suit sizes so I consider this a big deal!

Now, I need to watch the sales and order the next two sizes down do I will be prepared.

I've been buying new suit like every 2 -3 months. (I do Water aerobics for fitness). I gone through 4 suits since being sleeved and am noticing the latest one is getting saggy.

Way to go to the both of you!!!

I agree a huge huge congrats!

What a great NSV! Congratulations on the smaller bathing suits, meaning a smaller you.

Both of you congrats. I want to ask question you on bathing suits, I also want a plus size bathing suit which should be comfortable to me. I am a plus women so I want to plus size bathing suit to wear. Can you please help to buy that, hope I am not bothering you.

Try a google search for plus size bathing suit and you'll find everything. That way you can choose the style of what you want to wear. Speedo and many others put out larger suits.

Try swimsuitsforall.com. they have plus size and have some good clearance prices especially if you buy the separates

For exercise I buy the krinkle cut swim suits. They have a built in bra, support for tummy control and do not fade. I buy them from swimoutlet or just my size.

Congratulations to you both. I took my bathing suit in but I will certainly need new ones for next season. Thanks to those who listed places we might look for new suits.

I have been able to find good suits from Woman Within. They seem to have a wider range of available sizes than most.

I like getting the 2-piece tankini's because 1) I have trouble getting 1-pieces over my legs and hips, and 2) you can buy different size tops and bottoms if you need to.

I came back to this post to see when I posted it. I just got into the next size down! So, that makes four bathing suits since I started this process!
