New clothes! (4.5 months post op)

CW:  279

I've been wearing the same clothes since before surgery. I always hated shopping... I'm sure any woman that was pushing so close to 400 lbs would. I struggled to find clothes. I mean even in the really big section, way at the back, I'd occasionally find a 4 or 5x that would look passable. 

I went to Addition-elle today and told them how much weight I'd lost. My size 26 jeans were drooping pathetically off of me, the hems now drag to the floor a bit as if my legs, too, have shrunk. The store was dead and the girls had a field day. They called me their barbie and had a great time measuring me for bras, dresses, etc. 20!! I'm a size fricking TWENTY! Now.. this is a plus sized 20, but it took me putting on 4 dresses to believe it. I'm not sure I really do. It made my day.
