I had Gastric Sleeve surgery in June and I was between a 20 and 24 depending on the clothes before surgery. Today I went to buy my first suit, I grabbed an 18W to try because I'm back in 18's. The jacket was the correct size, the skirt was a little tight but it still fit and I'm still losing so no big deal. When I got home I was showing my dad the skirt and realized it was a 14W. I  haven't worn a 14 since 2005. I have lost 40 lbs in 2 months. I love being happy and healthy.

Overall I've avoided shopping but I had to get clothes for my new job because I had nothing that would work for teaching

That's understandable :)  I did have to buy a couple of bras because mine were getting too big around the body.  My boobs haven't shrank though.
