Anyone Love Shopping Now?



Recommended Posts

I remember hating to go shopping. Nothing ever fit right and just cause i was a big girl didnt mean i was old. i hated the lights in the dressing room cuz i would sweat so bad. I could never find anything and i would go home depressed. well it is so nice to just pick up something and not to have to even try it on, cuz i know it will fit. i love that i can find stuff so much cheaper too. Now my only problem is keeping my teenage daughters out of my closet. i actually luv shopping now my pocket book may not agree but it is so worth it!

Heck, yeah! It's so much fun to walk into ANY shop and find stuff I can wear and enjoy wearing! Re the impact on the pocketbook (purse), I have had plenty of great bargains in opportunity (thrift/goodwill) shops. It's mostly a matter of luck/timing to be there when some good stuff is available but I have gotten heaps of new clothes, still with tags on, at opp shop prices! Now it is just my wardrobe that is suffering from the weight of all my new clothes.

Just realised that I used to have minimal quantity of clothes - would wear the same things over and over. Now I want to wear something different every day, just cos I can! :P

I was an online and catalog shopper pre band.... I hated shopping, paying high prices for fat clothes and the overall experience.

Now.... I love finding bargains , finding clothes in consignment stores that fit and standing in my closet looking at a wonderful selection. ;)

Oh yeah ! shopping is waaay more fun now ! Im a diehard 2nd hand store shopper, im at Goodwill once a week and finding great stuff ! My wardrobe is 90% 2nd hand, and im always getting compliments on my cute stuff ! (And cheap too !) Im picky about what i wear, it has to be in excellent shape, no stains or missing items, and it has to fit well too. i love a bargain !

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
