This may seem silly, but I am worried about this. How often did you buy clothing as you were losing? I'm not talking a new wardrobe but just a few things here and there. I'm a nurse so my main wardrobe is taken care of with scrubs, but I do like to get together with friends and wear nice clothing. I'm just afraid I will be wasting money by buying clothing throughout the weight loss, but I know I'm going to have to get a few pieces. How did it work for you while you were losing?

Nurse Bonnie that is not silly.... that's a great question. I honestly bought only a few sets of clothing for social events while on my way down the scale. Even under garments I bought the cheapest undies and bras I could. The reason being I made the mistake of buying expensive bras used them once and there they sit. Way to big now.... So I would suggest when you need only buy a few outfits. Buy on the cheaper end... no kidding I went from a size 26-28 to a size 16 in a year. And my sizes are still changing. If you have a Khols near by there are great deals in the clearance rack. I have got pants and blouses for less than $5.00 no kidding. Best Wishes on your journey!And Happy Shopping!

Great ideas! I was shopping yesterday, and I kept finding cute stuff, which NEVER happens. But I didn't really buy anything because I thought, in two months this won't fit me anymore. It was so weird!

I shop resale...that way I can recycle it. Either Goodwill or one of several resale shops around my house. I also have a friend that as she loses, she gives me clothing. I also reach out on the Freecycle sites here...There are so many avenues to take so you don't spend a lot of money but you can get nice clothing.

There is a clothing exchange thread on this forum. Maybe you could find things there.

EBay, http://www.thredup.com, Onestopplus sales for undies & pants, JMS.com for bras and shirts, some local consignment shops, shopping in the back of my closet (the clothes I used to be able to wear eight years ago and could never throw out), and sales at Kohls and Dress Barn.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
