Well, after being banded 3 1/2 weeks, I put on some pants today and realized they were WAY loose. I hadn't worn them since before the surgery and I was pleasantly surprised, especially since the scale hasn't moved in over a week! (Except this morning when I dropped another pound) I decided I would go through my closet and see what fits and what doesn't. At the highest weight, I was a 28/30 or 3 XL in shirts and pants...solid 30 in jeans or non elastic waisted pants/skirts. I tried on clothes I haven't worn in a year and they FIT!!! I can actually wear jeans (elastic waist) that are size 26 and some khaki and navy blue and black chinos in size 26. I have a bunch of shirts and skirts I can now wear! Woo-Hoo! A whole new wardrobe!!! :thumbdown:

Congrats thats SO inspirational and exciting! I can't wait until I can post the same thing! Being banded on Feb 25th!

How fun is that!

I had saved some clothes from the last time I lost weight. It was kind of fun going through those and having them fit again. Unfortunately, the majority of them are summer clothes so I can't wear too many of them, and now they're starting to get loose.

I'm going to have to go shopping pretty soon. Gee, what a shame!:thumbdown:

I understand your excitement! I am so happy for you:) After losing 42 over a year I get to shop in my closet as well!

I have been frequenting second hand stores in my area as it is silly to purchase "new" items when I am losing weight at a really good clip these days :thumbdown:

Yes!! I've cleaned out my entire closet and found several sizes! As of this weekend, I've found out that the last of the smallest sizes I was holding on to, are now getting loose - as KarenK stated. Went shopping today and bought a new suit a size I haven't worn in at least 15 years! OMG!

Best of luck and much success to each of you!! These are certainly called sweet NSV's!
