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.

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.

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.
