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

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.

I was incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful friend, who had lost a bunch of weight prior to beginning my own crazy journey. A couple weeks ago she offered all her 1X/20/22-size clothes to me, so I was able to completely overhaul my closet with clothes that fit properly! I was able to take everything but her pants....she's about 5'3" tall, and I'm just under 6'!! LOL (Talk about high-water pants!!) :)

I was a size 6 4 years ago, therefore I have size 6 through 16 ready and waiting for me. Before my surgery I organized everything by size, so as I start dropping the lbs I can go shopping in my basement. :-)

I don't even know what a size 6 looks like!

I breezed by a 6 years ago! I'll be very happy at a 14 bc then I can shop in regular stores.

I'm tempted to buy some knee high boots. Yea baby!!

Haha oh I am gonna get to a size 14!!! I really would like to buy a new wedding dress and take new weddin photos. I am thinking for or 5th anniversary I may just do that! I was a fat bride :-(

Can I be your maid of honor? You can use someone else by proxy ;)

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' date=' I too am going to buy something as motivation![/quote']

That's a good idea. I'm planning a cruise with my high school girlfriends next July. Hmmmm wonder what size I may be? Hmm

The hubs & I are going to renew our vows for our 10 year (Feb 2014). Someplace warm, and I'm already looking at cute, SHORT wedding dress!! :D

I was tempted to buy something in say a size 14 (a size I have never worn in my life) before surgery but I didn't!

I bought this:) had been eyeing it for months. Went on sale when I got my surgery date 3 sizes were left: 18 (current) 10 and 0. I opted for the 10 as I won't be an 18 much longer and 0?...ha! Lol

I have never been a size 14 either and I bought a ca-yute zebra print silk dress from H&M a few weeks ago. I bought it as a goal dress and just for kicks tried it on. It fit! A little snug though. My body is weird. I can wear a 16 or 14 dress but I can't zip up a pair of 18 bootcut jeans. So my goal is a size 14 in jeans/pants. I hope I will be that size at 190 (never been under 200 as an adult either).
