Did Anyone By A New Article Of Clothing Pre-Surgery?



Recommended Posts

If so, what?

I bought a size 14 pair of Levi's. I have everything in my closet from 16-22. So I went one size down, plus I got a good deal with my Kohl's cash.

Not me (sorry to lurk into the Ladies' room). At the moment, though, I'm enjoying working backwards through clothes. I've lost 22 lbs since surgery and am currently in clothes from many years ago. Optimistically, I never threw them out.

I think most of us hold on to our old clothes. 14 signifies a size for me that I have never been in my adult life. So I treated myself....I don't even have a date yet :D

As a man, I'm not afraid to say that I can't wait to go clothes shopping in a normal store again. For the past few years clothes shopping for me has been about covering my fat and buying anything that doesn't look terrible. To be able to again wear something because I like the way it looks will be wonderful.

I have many sizes in my closet so I'm enjoying wearing things I liked so well but, um....outgrew. BUT pre-op I did buy a size 6 dress to wear to my 40th high school reunion next year. Optimistic? Yeah, but also determined!!! :D

That's what I am talking about! I think I will have more of your optimism after the surgery. So much so my hubs may have to take my credit card!

Well....I had a planned trip to Israel in April. I had purchased a number of new blouses, specifically for this trip, prior to my deciding to look seriously into WLS. The week after I returned from Israel I had my first visit with the surgeon. 6 weeks later I was in surgery. 3 months after that and I have a completely new wardrobe hanging in my closet! LOL Those new blouses were packed up 2 months ago! I never thought my weight loss (and change in sizes) would be so fast!!! Now I'm wearing baggy 20s (pants)...holding out until I can fit into 16's before I buy new again! :)

No, but I had a few pieces I had saved....forever it seemed. I dropped sizes so quickly I am glad I didnt buy anything. I am already hating having to get rid of clothes I have had for 2 months. I went from a size 20 pant 2-3x shirts to 10, sometimes 8 pants and L, sometimes M shirts. I have been shopping at thrift stores, much cheaper and I dont feel so bad when it doesnt fit anymore! I can tell you it is fantastic to be able to shop anywhere now, not the plus size stores.

I moved in sizes so quickly that I still have everything too... Before my surgery I went through and labeled totes "16" "14" "10/12" etc and they're all stacked and ready to be pulled out for when I downsize :) and I'll pack up and SHIP OFF the big clothes! Unfortunately I already bought my wedding gown (wedding in Feb) so going to try to sell it and just buy one closer to my date :) I'm sure it won't be hard to get rid of, hope not anyway!

I SO tempted to buy a cute dress for our beach trip next summer! I've been browsing online stores and cannot WAIT to enjoy shopping again.

Although I have lots of clothes from weights gone by, I too am going to buy something as motivation!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
