I can't help ya much Mandi because it has been a long time since I shopped in a "normo" store.

I know Old Navy goes up to size 20 in pants! Yay....

If I recall....I agree with Green...most stores go to 16; with some going to 18.

Whoah, you just blew my mind... 15!? LOL Just kidding, I did actually have some size 25 jeans, from Walmart, I think. I've noticed they have weird sizes like that.. odd numbers, why's that?

I believe the odd sizes (7,11,13,15) are junior and the even sizes (8,10,12,14) are misses or something like that

I just find that the odd size clothes, especially at Wal-mart are a smaller fit.

It's just a number, it's just a number, it's just a number, it's just a number....

Buuutttt... if a 25 is a smaller fit than a 26, why isn't it a 24? BAH! I don't care... it's ok. I was just wondering what sizes normal stores have, and now I know :girl_hug: Thank you :hug:

My mother once explained to me the difference between the odd numbers and the even numbers but I forgot. I think the odds might be for shorter waisted women but I am not sure. :help: Anyone else got any info?

I think clothing manufactuers just put any number on the clothes.

Clothing maker person picks up dress "HMMM this looks like a 14"

picks up same size "hmmm this looks like a sixteen" etc.

That must be how they do it. It is the only thing that makes sense!!!!!LOL

Mandi, do not go shopping at Le Château. My niece who is a size 0 can shop at Le Château. That's considered, according to her, a Junior store, so the sizes are a lot smaller. At one time, I could fit in a size 12 at Sears but at Le Château I could not put one leg in a size 12. Beware!!!

Hmm.. I've heard that too. I'm scared of the girls/staff at Le Chateau, so I probably wouldn't anyways. I'm scared of most of those stores. I dared to go into one a couple weeks ago, and I was so nervous. I was just waiting for them to give me "Yeah right" looks, etc.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
