LidiBell 86 Posted July 28, 2014 I will be 16 weeks post op on Wednesday 7/30. I began this journey in a size 22. I went this weekend to shop for jeans...Holy moly............................CAN YOU SAY SIZE 16????? I am so excited and overcome with joy. This has been a journey of ups and downs. It is the absolute craziest ride I've EVER been on. It is becoming more and more worth the "bad" parts everyday. 4 Texasmeg, Wynnie, keish_lorraine and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoey716 98 Posted July 28, 2014 Yeah!!! Congratulations on getting into those 16's! But don't get too comfy - you'll be shrinking out of those before you know it too! You are doing wonderfully and you look SO happy in your picture! Wishing you all the best! Keep up the great work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go4itLori 47 Posted July 28, 2014 Good for you! I am having my surgery in October - starting at a 20/22. You are inspiring. I CANNOT wait to fit into a size 16 again - hopefully by Valentine's Day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LidiBell 86 Posted July 28, 2014 Thank you all for the kind words. It was a very rough start for me, but this makes it all worth it. I had a tear in my stomach a month after surgery and had to have emergency surgery. So....I didn't get released to exercise until July 11th. The hard work is paying off.

mariavg 154 Posted July 30, 2014 You look amazing! Isn't it the best feeling but just wait next stop is size 12 misses. I know because I started at 22 as well and then went to 16 and then month ago I got in a size 12 misses. No more plus size for me. Keep up the good work and remember size 12 is right around corner ! It's an amazing journey we are on. Good luck to you ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bagonian74 176 Posted July 30, 2014 Hey don't go shopping too fast u will need to buy again I used to go on the clearance rack but I loved buying smaller sizes I was a 22 also now I am 10/12's love it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LidiBell 86 Posted July 30, 2014 I only tried them on. I didn't purchase any. I couldn't bring myself to purchase them. I am a very "tight wod" lol...I figured if I can hold out until at least October, I should be able to get hopefully a 12-14. I will definitely get some then. Thank again, you guys are super sweet and very encouraging. I wish everyone the best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
