Skirts and a semi Roll Call...
That is another thing I love is having more options when it comes to shopping, I used to only be able to go to Lane Bryant but now when I'm out and Sears or some place like that and I see a cute top I can pick it up and go with it and it doesn't break the bank!!!!! Skirts are awesome and soon you should be able to do it!

Yeah Dana!!!! Congrats chicky!
1. What type of clothing are you wearing now that you didn't normally wear before?
*** Button and Snap up shirts and khakis! Before it was all pull overs and dark pants, now I'm adding more color and even thinner fabric! Whoopppeee!!
2. What styles are out there that you can't wait to try?
*** I can't wait to wear tank tops, cute sun dresses and tankinis! (Of course that's a long way off lol) But its a goal!!!!! Maybe even a bikini at goal after plastics! HA!

Dana, what great questions and as for the shopping addiction, girl, I'm right there with you!!! I, too love skirts now and my thighs are rubbing less and less each day, which is great. I used to hate to wear skirts for that very reason, so skirts are becoming my new best friend, too.
1. I actually have a little story that just happened last night regarding this question. Before WLS my DH always "complained" that I didn't dress sexy enough. He really wanted me to wear tighter fitting shirts (you know, to show off the girls) and he would get "ticked off" when I would wear like a tank top, but then wear a blazer over the top (by the way, he would always tell me I looked good without the jacket, it was me who was just self conscious). Anyway, I told him that after I had surgery and felt better about myself, I would start wearing some of the more form fitting shirts, etc. Well, just last night, he asked me if I remembered what I said about what would happen after WLS and I said I told him I would dress differently. He said, "well I just wanted to tell you that I didn't really believe you, but you are really doing it. I just want to admit that I was wrong!" So, the answer to this question would be lots more form fitting clothes (especially shirts)!
2. I would love to be able to wear a "real" bikini if I end up having a tummy tuck (need to get rid of those WLS scars!).

Hi Dana~
QOD:
1. What type of clothing are you wearing now that you didn't normally wear before? Capris. Preop I thought my calfs and ankles (cankles) were too fat to even bother. I think they are cute now.
2. What styles are out there that you can't wait to try? the string bikini!!! Summer 2007 look out fellas!!!

Hey Dana! I have a little "thin fund" too. I loved shopping pre-op, so the saga continues
. I even got a little second job to add a little extra to the fund.
1. What type of clothing are you wearing now that you didn't normally wear before? I've bought dresses that look beautiful on me. I haven't had a chance to wear them, but I will be wearing one to a wedding this weekend. They look sexy now because I have somewhat of a shape now.
2. What styles are out that you can't wait to try? I'd like to wear more shoulder revealing tops. I stopped wearing halter tops and things like that because of my fatties (arms). But now I have batties which is a little better...not great but better.
