This exactly my plan for work. They supply my scrubs so I can wear them in any size I choose. It's the hours off work I need to think about. Guess I will be hitting some thrift stores. I don't mind thrift store shopping but the plus size clothes always suck so I'm trying to hold off till I'm down a few more sizes.

I found a ton of pkus size clothes when I went but you have to try multiple stores! It is a lot harder to find bigger scrubs!

I am due for surgery in Feb but I shop resale. Goodwill and salvation army for me until I level out. I find Abercrombie, Hollister, American eagle etc for my kids and they look brand new. So I'm sure when I drop I will be able to find stuff for cheap

I will try harder. I've never looked for scrubs but now we have to wear kaiser ugly blue scrubs cause we do procedural sedation so they treat us like we are part of the operating room crew and we dress at work. I hate it but that will work in my favor for the coming months. I find cute stuff at goodwill for my kids as well so I guess even if I still can't find my size I can buy cute and wait to fit into it.

Honestly, I didn't fit into anything that I bought (on purpose). It was all tight or didn't fit at all yet! It will be interesting to see when I can fit into the stuff. :-)

I didn't want to spend a lot of money on new clothes, while I was losing weight. Wore some things until it looked pretty sad. I then found a lot of things in my closet, that I had forgot was there. I have a friend that gave me things she couldn't fit into. And I've also purchased some jeans that were brand new, with tags from Goodwill. Can't beat $4.99 for a pair of jeans.

      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!!

      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
