I have some nice dresses I totally love, and will fit into again after I lose another 50lbs or so, and I'll probably miss them when I get to skinny for them. I think I'll get over it, though. :)

I kept all mine till I just about reached goal and then took an unbeleivably big pile of stuff to a donation place, it felt so good, I regretted all the money "wasted" but thought it was cool all the stuff I got rid of - and most of all all the closet space I now had.

I'm looking forward to new clothes...I have managed to wear designer clothes at my current weight which isn't an easy feat but I've always splurged on clothes and shoes. Anyways, I can't wait to fit into my favorite designers for real! When I get rid of my clothes, I'll sell them and easily make $600+ which will help me with my new wardrobe.

I am just about done 'shopping' for sizes in my closet. I will need to get new clothes soon. My question to all you shoppers, how do I pick a new style? I am not a 'clothes horse' and don't like to shop. But I don't want to buy crappy clothes and have a wardrobe full of clothes that i won't wear. I'm like Rootman, i'm enjoying my extra closet space!!

I'd appreciate some shopping tips! Thanks.

Ooh, this is my area of expertise. First question, how old are you and what is your personality like?

AWESOME!!! I am 51. Years old. I am very casual. I am building up a business in working with animals, mostly dogs. I go into people's home and help them with their troubled animals. I do NOT like to wear 'cutesy' animal shirts. So that's for work. Day to day I am a jeans & pretty top person. I have no clue where I should even start shopping. I was a lane bryant shopper.

Thanks!!

It kind of depends on your price point. I LOVE Nordstrom Rack, and I think you would have a hay day in there if you happen to have one near you. There's also Neiman Marcus Last Call. These are all the overflow of clothes from the huge expensive department stores at a fraction of the price. My boyfriend's mom who is in her 50's and sounds like is a very similar style to you swears by these stores. They have everything from jeans to dresses to suits to t-shirts and everything in between. Even skin care and shoes. If you don't have one of those let me know but if you do, try taking a look!

Do you have a Pinterest account? They have a fashion section and I have gone and "pinned" a bunch of cute styles I like. I'm a Lane Bryant shopper and am excited to be able to have an actual style, not just the clothes that hide my fat the best!

I also get great recipes on Pinterest!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
