Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Where do you men shop for regular sizes?



Recommended Posts

I was a big Goodwill shopper for the first year. My sizes were changing so often, I hated spending $40 for a pair of jeans that was only going to fit me for a couple months. Same thing with shirts. I started at a XXL shirt and am now in Medium. From 40/42 waist to 32. I hated wearing baggy clothes and was elated to wear clothes that fit. $6 - $8 for a nice pair of Levi's and $4 for a nice shirt.

Annnnd ... you are also helping out an institution that does some good. Many may question that, but that is not a topic for discussion here. I donate my clothes back and buy some new(used) ones. I look and feel great and it works for me.

Now that my size has somewhat stabilized, I shop the department stores like Alex does.

Castiel ... oye!

Even past 45 ...

Better look out. If you get too close to me I might take a swipe at you with my cane!

Isn't that awesome? When I bought my jeans at Walmart a few weeks ago, I couldn't believe how cheap the price was compared to Casual Male.

Although I hate CM, and have vowed to never shop there again, I went into one this weekend and returned a few XMas presents that were far too large...they were very helpful, and I actually walked out with a pair of 42-32 pants. I'm not a 42, but I will be soon. :)

I cut up my Casual Male rewards card the other day. Man I've had that thing a while. I did go in there one last time and the lady stopped me and said "you know this is a big mans shop don't you?". I guess I better not come back then.

Kohls, Macy's, Younkers, Nike, Under Armour oh and I'm still a big fan of thrift shops. I have been amazed at some of the great quality name brand items I find there.

That's super.

Agree with the above. I am still buying my clothes at value village just because it is more economical. I guess once a thrifty person always a thrifty person. I really do not see myself throwing around money at the mall. It is not me.

I bought some pants, and two casual shirts, at Bjs yesterday. I'm down to a 44, so selection wasn't great, but I could find pants with just a little searching, no problem, even with a 32 inseam. Looks like most of their pants go up to 42 waist, so I'll be able to find more soon. :)

So nice to pay $15 for a decent shirt!!!! Even the pants were like $20 and a name I recognized!

      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!!
