Recommended Posts

I put on a pair of pj bottoms tonight that i havent worn in awhile. And its a good thing that they have a tie string!!! They are huge on me now :lol: Before my thighs would be kinda tight in them, now they look like they are goucho pants :rolleyes: . I have it in my mind that I will have to go and out and buy regular clothes, but I seem to have forgotten that I will need to buy pj's, underware, bra's and a whole bunch of stuff once I get to the point where they just wont stay up any longer (even with a draw string) :lol:

There are a few pair of my pj's that I will be extremely bummed about because they are so comfy now that they are worn in ;)

There is not a stitch of apparel in my house that I wouldn't be willing to part with in order to buy garments in non plus sized clothing stores. That goes for pj's and undies and bras... Victoria's Secret, here I come!!!

lol :D

Yep, I have kinda gone alittle nutty with the Victoria Sercret shopping. Just got a coupon in the mail for a free pair of undies, ended up coming home with 6 pairs :). It feels so good to be able to shop there again.

I had a bunch of satin Victoria's Secret stashed away that were still in good shape, but my cotton undies are ridiculous on me- saggy butt! It makes me laugh though, so I still sometimes wear them :)

I have mourned for my favorite t-shirt and Everlast yoga pants. It makes me so sad to get rid of them for some reason, even though they literally fall off of me. I have yet to find an equally awesome pair in my new size.

I'm not emotionally connected to anything plus sized. I did hang onto a couple of favorite t-shirts that I wear as nightgowns now. Salvation Army is a great place to get transitional clothes. Of course, I wouldn't buy underwear there...eww, that's just gross!! But I've gotten some really nice things there at very low prices.

It's a great problem to have! I think of it this way...all the money I'm saving on the food I'm NOT eating can be spent on new clothes! And this is a great time of year to shop! Summer clearance sales paired with back-to-school sales, you can get some really killer deals! Happy shopping! :)

I intend to get most of my transitional clothes from op shops/thrift stores (not undies or bras!), and only splurge out on the good stuff once I'm at my goal weight :D

Girl....... I LIKE the way you think! lol

I'll have to remember this when the shopping starts... this kind of logic should help get me out of the dog house w/ my hubby or at least give him a good chuckle. B)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
