Asking An Embarrassing ???



Recommended Posts

ok, so I wear underwear from the Avenue which are sized like clothes 18/20, 22/24, etc. I wear 22/24 now and they are getting big, since I'm losing I hate to pay Ave's prices for panties when I can go to Walmart and get some but I do not know what size to get, 9, 10, 11, 12 and so on??? Call me dumb I guess.

If I'm correct I believe you would need a 12. When you go to buy them each pack has the sizing chart on the back

Try to get one size bigger because they shrink

no dumb questions

Get one of each. especially if your in between sizes. If one is a bit snug you will fit into it soon. :)

thanks everyone, I'm glad you guys didn't laugh! I was almost ashamed to ask...lol To Krussell19 I too carry all my or most of my weight in my rear and and belly, well most in my rear. I like some crazy people out there are going shopping tonight when Walmart opens (with some girlfriends) and will look at them and see if I can buy just one pair and buy a couple in 2 different sizes. This year for Thanksgiving its just me and my mom and we are going out to eat so tonight I'm having my highlight shopping spree at different places. gona be a long night. lol. Thanks again for all your advice and input.

Donna...I too am bottom heavy....and I was wearing the lane Bryant size 26 when I started. I bought some cheap Walmart panties in 9 and XL at target when I was about 250.... They should work for you.

Happy shopping... I am not getting near Walmart but am heading out at 5 am like an idiot to score some holiday decorations, cards and whatever else I think I must own. Lol

thanks for the info. Oh no, I'm a night owl. I may have to head to nearby Clarksville TN (I live in Hopkinsville KY) about 20 mins drive to get in some really heavy duty shopping tonight, lol. Now if I was really adventurous I'd head to Nashville, I'm only an hr away, ha but I guess I will stay around here. Yes, I'm bottom heavy, legs and hips, little waist. It is slowly getting smaller. I tried on size 24 jeans last night that were in my closet and I can wear them, yay. I was in a 26 and some 28's. Would love to be in your neck of the woods getting some good Grouper right about now! Oh my fav!!! I would def forget turkey for today for fresh grilled Grouper! Take care, Donna

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
