Have any of you made plans on how to.handle the clothing as we shrink?

I have to say, that's a concern for me.

I've found a tailor near me for my better clothing. Beyond that I plan to limit myself to wearing my tent size clothes and possibly hitting up the clearance racks at Walmart occasionally. I've heard of others going to goodwill for the in between clothes, but I'm not sure i can handle other people's clothing.

In goodwill u can also find clothes with their tag still on them so they are new and no one has used them. I like your tailor idea specially for jeans. Target if you have one around put good clearance racks, some even for like a dollar something.

I have sizes from my last failed diet... Currently in size 24 3x-- have clothes to fit me down to size 16 1x... This last regain of my weight I told my husband I'm not giving one thing away! Now I'm going to pack up all my big clothes as they become too big and donate them to charity. I know how it feels to be big and not be able to afford clothes... I'm gonna pay it forward. :) also I'm gonna fill in the gaps in my wardrobe with goodwill and thrift shop clothes until I get to goal. Not buying new clothes I'm only gonna wear for a short time....

The only thing I'm gonna have to buy is new bra's!! That is exciting because I have been buying the "box bras" as I call them for some time because my bra size is 48 or 50 C cup. Not a typo... C -cup. I have one B and one C.. So yea picture that.... Sorry.. Tmi!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
