Success That I Can Only Share Here

[Velena 122]

I was sleeved on Sep 5th, I lost 20 lbs on the pre-op diet and 38 since surgery. I've gone from wearing size 22-24W to 16W. I feel like I can't rejoice with my family because several of them are still where I was and it feels like I would be gloating or something. But I hope that my fellow sleevers will understand. I tried on an XL woman's coat at costco today and it fit, in fact it was too big. I tried on the Large coat and it FIT. I mean the buttons buttoned and it felt good! Do you know how long it has been since I've worn a size Large???? 29 or 30 years!!!! YEARS!!! I am still in shock. I know I've lost weight but I guess I have no concept of what size I am now. Thank you for letting me get that off my chest (hahaha).

Way to go!!! I bet you felt good trying on clothes that were too big! 30 years is a long time to wait for a size large, and it's a button up!! I thought button ups and coats were made to be open or with a shirt under it! lol You have done it!!!!! Good Job!!!

Woohoo! What a great feeling! Were you dancing in costco?

That's great!!! Those clothes at costco have always been a sore in my side. Nothing ever fit. EVER!! They don't carry any sizes above XL. Which is stupid bcs have you seen the shoppers at costco? Many shapes and sizes!!! I'm going there tomorrow and will see if something fits me!!

I agree with you about celebrating. I have no one I can enjoy this ride with except you guys online.

I just kept asking my husband if he was sure it looked good on me (they don't have mirrors in Costco). Well I bought it and looked at myself in the mirror when I got home and it did look good. Go figure!

Way to go! I am clapping my cyber hands.I know what you mean. Its been about 15 years since I wore under a size 2x. I am waiting to hear from the insurance company, then I will be joining you on the losers bench.

Way to go! I completely understand yes you can Celebrate here with us!!!!!!!!!!!! I too have a whole new relationship with my closet again and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am wearing a size 12 now and sometimes a MEDIUM!!!!!!!!! Keep it up! It feels soooooooooooooooooo good!

I totally can relate. When my doc asked me if 160 was a good goal for me, I laughed and said "that was printed on my birth announcement, I cannot imagine being that light" he laughed. I totally cannot wait until I can walk away from LAME BRYANT and buy Micheal Kors at a real store! Congratulations and I pray you get more of this giddy moments each day!

What an awesome feeling (same thing for me in Lane Bryant, now wearing the smallest size they carry, when I used to wear the biggest!) keep up the good work! There's no food that tastes as good as that feeling you had when you put that coat on!
