AshleyIrene 8 Posted April 20, 2012 Hello my fellow sleevers, I had my surgery on Mach 29th. I'm still getting used to all the changes but so far im very happy with my decision! This last week I had went to my nieces school concert and I was able to fit in the seat without getting stuck, it was a wonderful feeling. But what was even a greater accomplishment for me was when I put on my "only" pair of jeans that fit before my surgery (and even then they were so tight they looked like skinny jeans), are loose and keep falling off. I also fit into 7 more pair of jeans that I had hiding away! I just love clothes so I'm so excited to be able to fit into ones I've only been able to wear once and go shopping for new ones! Thanks to all of you for your support, positivity, wisdom & humor in all your posts! It's helped me through a lot of my days. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted April 20, 2012 Awwwwww Ashley how wonderful is that? make sure you pull up those pants so they don't fall down. they say finding clothes in your closed that now all of a sudden fit, is like going shopping in the closet - only diffference you don't have to pay. congrats on the chair situation too. keep up the good work congrats kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
favoredone 590 Posted April 20, 2012 Congrats!! I know the feeling.. My only issue is that I've been the same size for 8-10 years.. so I don't have "small clothes"... I hate wearing the same things every week or two weeks.. Previously, I would recycle my wardrobe maybe once a month... Now... It's belts, dresses and skirts w/ cheap tops and cute jewelry... I'm losing pounds slowly, but I'm losing inches quite rapidly! I'm glad I'm losing something!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love this, it's so true! Better than shopping because you know its cute since you picked it out, lol. Congrats!! I know the feeling..

I'm glad I'm losing something!! LOL Your style sounds so cute now! Love the belt & skirt sitch, I cant wait to wear belts! Yea, I have a good amount of clothes were im just "in-between" so they fit around the waist but baggie everywhere else, just not flattering, lol. Hey I'll take the inches off any day, the scale is my enemy so I rely on clothes to give me truth. You go girl, keep rockin that sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
