WOW! I am in AWE!
I have been in the process of planning a WLS Celebration Cruise for pre and post ops. In addition to this, I am going on a cruise in October with my family. I have been really concerned because I have very few clothes that fit, especially a swimsuit. I have no idea what size I will be wearing in February and that is when a swimsuit will be no where to be found in Alabama.
Anyhow, I went to TJMAXX last night and bought 3 swimsuits. I bought a size 18 ($10), a size 16 ($7) and my dream suit, a size 12 ($10). I didn't even try any of them on.
Well tonight I went to a different TJ MAXX by my house. I need a ****tail dress for formal night. I picked a size 16 because there was nothing in a size 18 that I liked. I knew it would take some serious working out to get into it even though it is just 1 size away.
I started out my journey in a size 30. You guys... the size 16 dress slipped right on!
! I can not believe my eyes. I am so happy. I had not bought anything but one shirt since my surgery until yesterday. I have a feeling that I am not going to be able to control myself.
Thanks for letting me share my wow moment!

Beth,
That's great!!! Now you will want to shop til you drop all the time. If you ever need a swimsuit out of season try ebay. I've bought several there and they are brand new, never worn. You can get quite a bargain on them.
You may have to have that formal taken in by Feb. but won't that feel great?
Keep up the good work.
