I just don't have money to shop. I'm still with my big girl clothing. I bought a few things a few months ago. I'm not shopping till I'm 125 pounds.

Mostly all my pants/shorts/capris are way too big. I've given a lot away. Clearance racks and layaway are my best friends right now. Lol

Great idea but by the time I finish paying for it the size will be smaller LMFAO. I have the pants that are like gym style. Jogging pants I think it's called. They are my best friend.

Exactly. I buy sizes before i can actually wear it. Right now, I can wear clothes from an xl to an 18, depends on how it's made.

We have great resale shops here. You take the big clothes in to sell and trade for the smaller ones. Nice clothes for a fraction of the cost

All my clothes are too big. Had to buy some 16s this weekend. One pair was from the 'missy' section of Marshall's not the woman's. Felt great!!

Marshall's has all sizes. But of course the larger sizes don't have much of a variety. Smaller sizes the have a ton of varieties.

My plan is to shop at thrift stores until I reach my goal weight or my weight stabilizes. This way I won't have to pay full price on clothes.

What a great idea! Think I'll do the same. I still have some size 16's, but just a few. Mostly 1X & 2X. At one of the support grps I went to, a gal brought the clothes she had grown out of for anyone who wanted them - thought that was nice. Surgery date 9/5/12

Leggings are my BFFs right now. And today (drumroll please) I went into Fashion to Figure (a plus size store) and none of their smallest shirt fit right. I was only able to buy a pair of jeans from there. So I went into Forever21 (hated this store for a while, could never find anything that fit me) and viola! I was able to buy 6 shirt size L. From 2x (sometimes 3x) to a Large!!!!! Woo freaking Hoo!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
