Kathy,

Wow!!!!! Congratulations, that's great. Your story is so inspirational. I

can't wait to join you guys in all of your successes. After almost 25 years

of being morbidly obese, I am so looking forward to losing a lot of my

excess weight forever. You know, I really seems almost like a fantasy or a

dream, but reading all of your posts I know it can be real. It sometimes

makes me cry and hope and pray that it can happen to me too!

Thanks,

ann

24 to 12 in 4 months!

As of yesterday I now wear a size 12! The last pair of pants I bought

pre-op was a 24.

Once again, my clothes are getting too big. Although I love being able to

shop in regular clothing stores, I still feel funny about it. I was trying

to find some pants yesterday and I kept thinking that people were looking at

me wondering what I was doing in the regular clothing deparment. What is

even worse is that I have no idea what stores carry petite length clothes

and what regular clothing stores have good prices. I knew exactly where to

go to find what I wanted when I was a size 24. Next time I will have my

size 6 sister shop with me.

Yahoo! Kathy M -- that's incredible! And your surgery was in JULY???? Now,

I feel like a totally SLOW LOSER again! ROFL (I had mine in late January

and am now a wonderful size 16 - hoping to get down to a 12 in time. I'm

nine months out at this point and have lost about 102 lbs --- 40=50 more to

go, man!).

I know how wonderful it is to shop for 'regular' clothes... I went to

Marshall Fields today and found some AMAZING bargains in their 'regular

department' -- I got two dresses for only 14 bucks each (one is a blue

sequined sheath with a transparent blue floral print over it - beautiful!

The other is a standard medium blue work dress with embroidery around the

chest area)... I also found two 100 pct silk leopard print pants for only 4

bucks each (in a size large). Holy Cow! I can certainly get used to THIS!

ROFL

Don't worry - the new stores will become second nature to you soon... I am

still incredulous that I can see the tag saying size 16 and fit into it...

It's like 'wake me up from this wonderful dream!'

Congrats to you --- have fun looking and feeling great! You DESERVE it! :)

all the best,

Hi Kathy! What a wonderful story. I am so envious. I can't wait to be

able to shop for " regular " sizes. Many of my skinny friends get

wonderful top quality clothes in consignment shops at great prices. I

can't wait to hit those stores as well as all the bargains available

during the end of season sales. Even though I have a few stores in

the area like Lane , I almost always shop out of catalogs since

they have larger selections and a greater choice of sizes. Plus it's

purely exhausting to shop in the malls and I can't tolerate standing

and walking long periods. Thanks for sharing!!
