I went to Nordstrom Rack today. Honestly, I kinda hate this store. Everything is so disorganized and they don't carry any plus size even though Nordstrom does. Kinda makes you wonder where the clothes come from because if they came from Nordstrom, wouldn't they have some plus size too? :thumbup:

But, anyway, I happened to be doing some shopping nearby so thought I would stop in and look through their stuff to see if I could find some new black capri pants. The biggest size I could find there was 16 and they didn't have much. But, there was one pair of really nice looking black capris made by some designer I never heard of before. The tag said they were originally $139 :eek:, but marked down to $34. That's more like it! :w00t: Actually, a little more than I like to spend on transitional clothes, but I decided to try them on anyway.

Wow! These turned out to be the most amazing pants for a WLS patient. They fit from right above the crotch down very nicely (not tight, but not loose). Higher up, they don't really fit me. I have to suck and tuck and squeeze to get the zipper up. :thumbup: But, they are made of this really high quality stretchy material that holds my stomach in like a girdle and is actually comfy at the same time. And, they are high-waisted so no muffin top either.

When I got them home, I promptly pulled out all the smaller tops I unpacked recently that would go w/black capris and tried them all on w/my new 'girdle pants'. All of my tops cover the tight part so every outfit looked awesome. Its like I lost another 10 pounds today! :w00t:

Shut up!!! That's the best thing ever! Cute, cheap, and excuse me regular sized! I am so happy for you. :w00t:

Happy for you! It is nice, I too bought a pair of black capri's this weekend, but I went to a mission store and they were $4.49 and Nice, but they don't hold my stomach in like a girdle! LOL That is something that I may have to do something about later, could wear a 12 in the legs, but a 14 in the stomach or they won't zip up and if they do I can't breath!! LOL So glad for you it is a good feeling to get out of the W's and the X's

wow!! lucky you!! I bought some capris that fit my legs perfectly, but the waist part doesnt go over my belly. my belly hangs over the top, so I can only wear them with longer shirts, but damn my legs look sexy!!

Your pants sound amazing!! Hopefully they wont fit you for long!! :confused:

That is fabulous!!! Hey... when they get too big, you should have your own little e-bay like auction here on LBT and see how many of us would bid on them. Sounds like a little slice of heaven!!!! Congratulations! I'm down 40 lb too, and having to borrow my daughter's dresses for church, but haven't tried on any pants. i can tell my legs are skinnier, and my tummy too, but there's already a big roll of loose skin and ugghhh... iwill probably be doomed to fat pants forever. Guess I need to go Spanx shopping!!!

So awsome for you, congrats on
