I have no idea what size I am in now. I don't really want to buy clothes yet but I am starting to look ridiculous in my clothes now. What to do, what to do....

Go to goodwill, salvation army, try on some clothes that fit and buy them.

Yes, Goodwill or local consignment shop. Don't spend a fortune of clothes you are going to get too small for within a few months.

Happy for you to be losing it into smaller sizes! :) Keep up the great work!

I hear ya! I am agonizing over buying a new pair of jeans. I am going to try the "buy one item at a time" method. You know you need to break down and buy a new pair when you can pull them down without unbuttoning and unzipping! LOL

I had to hold up a pair of slacks up with a safety pin a couple of weeks ago...feels good but you can only do that for so long...

Jeans old navy had a sale a few weeks ago I got 2 12s 2 14s for 6 dollars each ;) the 14s are tight so by summer / fall the 12s will fit I hope I'm a really slow Loser.

Value village or Salvation Army is great for cheap clothes while in the progress. I did this in highschool when I got pretty sick and lost 160 lbs.

Do you have a Facebook account? A lot of cities/towns now have local "yard sale" pages. I have gotten a lot of cute used name brand clothes on my towns sight. Even sold some too. People like buying "almost" new clothes. Just do a search on Facebook.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
