I haven't updated in a while, so here goes:Since my last blog I have crossed over to the other side, and what I mean by that is that I can shop on the other side of the clothing department. I no longer have to shop on the Plus size, I can wear normal sizes again for the first time in about 20 years!! It feels fantastic, too!! I went to a class reunion yesterday and bought a new pair of capris....size 14!!!! I couldn't believe I could get into a 14!! I have to wonder if they run a little large, because I see myself in a mirror and honestly don't see myself in a size 14, but I will take it!! And the shirt I got is an XL. So, that makes me going from a 26/28 (sometimes 30/32) and XXXL, into 14/16's and XL shirts!! I am very happy!! I am getting close to the point where I would be "happy" with this, but I would be happier to lose at least 30 more pounds.
I have to share my funny story..........I am very "well-endowed" and always have been. I have been buying 50DDD bras for a few years and with my weight loss this past year decided to get a fitting for a bra. I told the girl at Lane Bryant that I have been wearing DDD's and I figured I was needing DD now, but wanted to make sure. So, she measured me and starting laughing.........when I asked her what was so funny, she said "Ummm, I am measuring you as an "H"!!!! I am a 38H!!!! That is crazy!! What size was I before losing this weight???!! I have a friend who had RNY a year before me and she lost every bit of her girls....she had surgery Friday and got some new boobs, size D. I called her husband and told him my story and he laughed his head off.....he said "you are still going to have to go have a reduction down to the size my wife just had added!!" Well, my boobs have never been the first place I have ever lost weight, so I am not surprised!! I am now the proud of owner of 2 new Cacique size 38 H bras. I am still not used to them.....kind of like a new pair of shoes.....but I do like how they raise the girls up closer to where they belong!!
On a final note.....I am very happy I had this surgery....I have failed all my life with every weight loss attempt, and this tool forces me to remain compliant, and it is my little Jiminy Cricket that I have needed for so long!!
