I have unsubscribed from emails from Torrid.  That is where I got the only clothes that made me feel stylish before surgery.  They go to a 12, which is about where I am now, so I guess I can't shop there anymore.  I'm excited and a little sad at the same time!

Haha, I know what you mean.  I used to shop at Lane Bryant for everything and now I can't.  Which is both awesome and a little overwhelming.  It was easier to shop when there was only one potential store!  Now I can shop in almost every store!  (I think size 12 is about when all stores are available, and I'm super close.)

awww bittersweet!! now there's a whole new fashion world open to you.

I remember when I "gave up" a few months ago and just decided this is who I was, nothing was going to work, and I was just going to be fat. I bought a bunch of clothes at Torrid. for me, its not a good memory, so when I no longer fit in those clothes, it will be a happy day :)

congrats to you!!

Love that!!  I have my Lane Bryant, Avenue, Roaman's, and Woman Within credit cards.  I'll be cancelling those soon.  :-)

I have become a Ross for Less junkie.  I like cheap clothes (anything under $20 is a SCORE for me) at this point.

Yesterday I went shopping for something casual to wear to my company xmas party.  What a pleasure it is to pour through the racks and not be limited by what fits, but what specifications you have in mind.  For example, I wanted something with 3/4" sleeves to cover the batwings.  No problem.  Found something that was in soft pink with a pattern design.  Pink used to be a color I would never wear. I didn't realize I bought something pin****il I was driving home.  It just fit so well and I felt good in it.

Top/blouse size prior to surgery:  4X     Size now:  1X

Pants size prior to surgery:  4X              Size now: 20, moving quickly to 18.

I'm still waiting for the day that my underwear falls off.  Right now they're a little bit baggy, but I can still wear my preop size.  Ugh.

I'm having the underwear drop.  It's not fun when you're wearing a dress. :)
