Plus Size No More!

[Cyndie B 17]

Hi Everyone! I went shopping today and was able to fit into XL tops and size 14 pants...although I had to bump up a size for jeans to a 16...but the best thing is I did not have to go to the plus size section. It was so awesome and I couldn't believe it was my butt in the pants I tried on...lol...I am 7 weeks post op and I have had one fill. I am still feeling restriction but not as much as before. I have been exercising on the treadmill 4 to 5 times a week. I am looking forward to my next fill and maybe instead of buying new clothes I will be heading to the consignment store.

Yay Cyndie!! Keep up the good work! Excited for you

I was a size 18/20 and a loyal Lane Bryant shopper and the 18/20s were getting tight...that is when I made my decision to get the band. I know this doesn't seem like a lot of weight to lose to some of you but we are each on our own journey. I just wanted everyone to know that if I can do it anyone can, trust me.

Love it! Way to go ( =

I am still trying to get Lane Bryant to stop sending me emails every day. That's pretty exciting.

Consignment shops are the best!Such a good idea with so many changes going on so quickly! I am now into a size xl tops (wow) and 18 bottoms are getting a little saggy in the butt! When i am trying tops on and they are size XL I actually read it again when i take it off and check it again thinking it couIdn't be! I am just around the corner from no more Plus size shopping! I might actually like shopping soon! Congratulations to you!

Great job!! I wish I only had 68LBS to lose but that is still a significant amount to need to lose and already over 30lBS 7 weeks post op is amazing. I am now 3 weeks post op and the last time I weighed at 2 weeks I was 18 down. I am refusing to go by any scales except my Drs for my official weight so i wont know how much I am down again until 4/3 unless they are willing to let me hop on the scale while I am there for my support group on Wednesday. I can say that my size 18's that were pretty tight before surgery are now loose, even right out of the dryer.

I sure hope I can do as well as you have!

Cyndie, have you had any stuck episodes???

[Ladybug28 73]

Good job Cyndie! 10 yrs ago when I lost 70 lbs I remember the excitement when I didn't have to go into the plus size section. What was strange though is I felt like a fish out of Water. I can't wait to feel like that again though!! Keep working hard and you'll be to goal in no time flat. Good Luck!

Awesome NSV. Congratulations. I was a tight size 26 when I started and am now in a 12-14 top and 16 bottom so I know exactly how you feel. Enjoy
