Not All Thick Girls, Have Big Boobs

Now almost at my 3 month WLS post op date. One of the first places I noticed had shrunk at was my chest. They said that would probably happen. I wasn't blessed with large breasts before either. I was hoping to keep them. It was always difficult to find the right sized bra. I believe all the larger women's clothing companies really believe all overweight women have larger breasts. I have tried before in the past to order online or through catalog companies, with no luck. I normally wore a C cup. Even though the bras I ordered said C cup, there is no way in heaven it was. Now I'm thinking I'm prob more a B cup now, which is gonna be even harder to find. I did find a trick though. I have a few bras that are still fitting pretty well in the cup, but are way to large around the base. I'm cutting out a section of the waist band and sewing it back together. So far so good. As I continue to loose I know it will get easier. Till then I improvise. 

I was also very blessed to receive some extra clothes the other day. Our local support group does a annual picnic. Everyone brought in clothes that are now to big for them. I was the largest person there so I didn't bring any, but everyone insisted I need to go down in the sizes I'm wearing, because my clothes look like the are falling off. And the literally are. A clothing swap is a great idea to have between WLS patients. And when you can no longer wear something then you can pass it on.

2 Month Post Op

What a difference a month makes. Started eating more regular foods. My clothes are really starting to feel loose. Originally I wore a size 11 ring, now I can wear a size 9. 

Still having to watch how fast I eat and his much. I guess that's gonna be an ongoing thing. But I'm learning. 

Favorite meal right now is 2 slices of thin deli turkey meat, and 1 slice cheddar cheese, rolled up. I have to take the outside ring on the meat cause it won't go down.
