no more plus sizes



Recommended Posts

I was going to wait until after Christmas to buy some clothes as my pants are so loose that I can pull them down without unbuttoning them. Liz Clayborne had a great one day sale- everything 40% off. Well I bought and can fit into a size 16!!! Bought a size med and a size large top as well (fit!). No more X or XL or 1X.

Yahoo.

This is the sweetest victory of all, I think. I will never enter My Size or 1626 again (the main 2 plus size stores here in Australia). Looking objectively, they have lovely clothes in larger sizes but all they represent to me is exclusion and I am glad to never ever need them again.

For me this was the biggest goal and one of the main reason for getting banded. I know health reasons etc. are the worthy goals, but secretly- I must be very vain because I have always hated shopping in plus stores. I see such lovely things every where and could never wear them. This is a dream come true. (its been more then 25 years).

Losingjusme: You'll get there, start saving now. I have alot more weight to loose, so I had to really restrain myself and walk away before I spent needlessly.

This is a huge goal for me too. I was wearing 18W when I had the surgery. A 16W is probably what would work best for me now, but I am NOT buying any more plus-size clothes! I tried on about 10 pairs of regular size 16 pants at Stein Mart the other day and I'm not quite there yet, so I'm just going to be wearing baggy pants for the next few pounds.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
