I just wanted to check in today and see how you all were doing, and maybe play a bit of catch up!

Things are moving along with me quite well; I did go without a fill from May 7 until September 10, when I had to finally break down and get one, being the band was on "empty" and I was able to eat more--that is never a good thing..LOL.

Fortunately, I gained very little weight in that time period, and I had it off within a week after I had the new fill of 2cc's. I go back for another one on October 12.

I was wandering around in Lane Bryant one day and decided to try some clothes on, just for giggles if nothing else. It seems I still have the mindset that I am bigger than I actually am, being that some of the things I had tried on in my so-called "present" size were loose (or maybe that is the way the manufacturer made them!)...and so I had to go from 22/24 to 18/20!

So to celebrate, I got some new, sexy lingerie (tossing out the now too-big, "old lady" undies) along with some jeans and a nice top or two.

Who would have thought that six months and 96 pounds ago when I was barely squeezing into a 30/32 pre-op that I would be buying 18/20's before the holidays were even on the horizon?

PS: You guys have to try Spanx! it not only smooths everything out under the clothes, but also is very comfortable!

When my grandchildren 3 y/o and 6 y/o are helping me fold the whites, we put Grandad's underwear on our head and call them chef's hats. They parade around in from of him and he chases them around and they laugh their little sweet heads off. They try it with mine, but when the underwear is as big as mine, they can only trip over them. Can't wait to buy some that fits their heads! Size 18/20!! WOW! I know there are a lot more 18/20s on the racks then 30-32. You go Girl!!
