Congrats to everyone. I feel you on what you are saying. I was banded almost 2 years ago now, and on my first real shopping trip it was good to walk right pass Lane Bryant.
I still go in there occasionally for the jeans (size 14 tall). Some jeans in regular stores were still tight in the thigh.
Before my shopping trips were spent buying every cute shoe,bag and accessory I could find.
NOW!!!!! I can basically shop anywhere, I like to go in H&M since you can find cute stuff at reasonable prices- so when you have to get rid of them because they're too big- you don't feel that bad. I went from a 20/22 to a 12/14. I'm tryna be a 10! Little more to go!!! I'm 5.9" so I don't want to look too thin or sickly!:biggrin2:
GOOD LUCK TO ALL! It's not an easy road and don't be hard on yourself if you slip up!!!!!!!
