I haven't had my surgery yet (2/26). I was wondering how fast do you go through clothing sizes? Do most people just wear stuff that's too big until it falls off?

Depends on you. I know that I wore my largest sizes till they got really baggy. Then its new shopping every 2 months...or so. Unless you have a large wardrobe or lots of money...lol

Luckily I kept all my sizes as I grew out of them, so hopefully I will be able to use them all again.

I am a nurse and didn't buy new scuba till I lost 70 pounds and I just been picking up new clothes here and there when I have money makes it more affordable then buying all at one plus you can get smaller sizes so you always have something that fits

I wore mine til they just fell off. Finally took my clothes to good will. I have gotten a few things at the consignment store. My mom gave me a gift card to dress barn for my birthday and christmas but the clothes I bought there are already falling off... so my suggestion is to not buy new til your at goal weight. Unless its for a special occassion. Consignment stores and thrift stores will be your friend for awhile. Lol I did buy new underware after I lost 90 lbs. I need to get some new ones of those. ha!! I wear a sports bra all the time now so that I havent had to buy new bras yet.

That's what I am doing . I am buying all my clothes at a consignment store as I need then and only 3 or 4 in each size as I go down . I am using the same jackets as I did prior to surgery will it new next season . It's hard to fight the power to want to go clothes shopping !

I can never find things I like in thrift stores

We have a store here called platos closet. It's a consignment store that only buys and sells clothes which are less than a year old. Now that I am in normal sizes its kinda my go to place.
