Ok so I really like that my closet is now a closet full of clothes that dont fit! my old clothes swallow me! I hate shopping for clothes, and im not sure of my size. Plus im not where I need to be yet so dont want to buy a bunch only to have them out grow me in 2-3 months. Might have to hit up a goodwill and just second hand shop till im at my goal weight.

Yes! The clearance racks are awesome right now, I even buy them if they 2 even 3 sizes smaller @ $3-7 a pop why not? :) I found a short black dress at Target Friday for 5 bucks its a size 24 (I was a 28-30) and it fit so good my husband couldn't compliant me enough every time he passed by... He was a high school boy! Lol :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Im going to shop at the salvation army this Wednesday it's 50% off everything. I need 5 pairs of jeans to start me off then maybe sweats & some shirts. This is the only way for me to get anything especially since I'm dropping size quickly & don't know where I'm at except I'm a 13 now & medium shirt.

My plan tomorrow is to go through my closet an donte what will not fit me anymore. I told my husband this morning I need to get some new pants and shirts and a new belt. I have had to add new holes to my belt. Great feeling!!

I'm also a thrift store shopper right now ;) I also love garage sales!! One tip I like to do since I love my jeans is turn them inside out and sew the excess to my size right now it's easy and saves $$

I have found some clothes on sale at Kohls and Coldwater Creek. I have to still get rid of all of my old stuff, I am pulling things out of my closet daily that are just too big! The fun part is seeing people that have not seen me in a while, they don't recognize me!

Savers and thrift stores for me as I start to lose and run out of the right size. I fortunately saved a lot of my clothes that were smaller so I can shop in my own closet. Unfortunately for me my weightloss is dragging because these antibiotics are kicking my butt. It makes it hard to get all the Fluid and Protein in. OH well....last night for those so hopefully I can kick up the totals for Water and protein again. Congrats on your smaller closet :)

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
