SoonToBeThinKAT 67 Posted October 13, 2012 Ok so to give u an idea before surgery I was in a 22 top and a 22/24 bottom. I was never able to fit into regular women's size xxl. Well today I went shopping bc the clothes I am currently wearing r getting to big. I went to kohls and shopped in the regular woman department and bough an XL sweater and it fits! I also went to old navy and bought a couple of tops that were also XL! I am now down to a size 18 jean:). It just feels so good to be able to shop in a regular department store! 11 MsVeDub, beefalogal, Livinglifeout and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted October 13, 2012 Oh that's fantastic!! I know the feeling of not having to shop in plus size anymore, all of the clothes are way to big. I am now in a large, woohoo and can really shop in any store. Great job to you keep it up!! 1 kmwheel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoonToBeThinKAT 67 Posted October 13, 2012 Exactly! Bc lane Bryant was the only place I could get clothes at and it felt amazing! I started crying. I haven't shopped in regular store since high school and that was 15 years ago! I've stalled some and I did not buy a lot bc I know I WILL lose more. Next goal is Victoria Secrets:) 1 MsVeDub reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
