I am having a hard time but it's an ok hard time with clothing. I am trying to wait until I reach my goal weight before I go out and get some threads. But I am really not doing good with pants. Shorts I can buy and wear for awhile but pants I have to wait. Is anybody else having this problem

Oh yeahhhh, my pants look like an army of elfs moved out. I plan on going to the local consignment shop and buying a few pair of pants to get me through awhile. They are used but in good shape so its all I need. I've bought a few shirts to spruce things up for work but all of my old dresses are fitting. I don't mind wearing them to church but I sure don't want to wear a dress to work. My coworkers will think I lost my mind. lol

I see where Dr, Shin did your surgery. I am planning on going to Dr. Neace's seminar on Tuesday, but I think it's a shorter wait time with Dr. Shin, good luck!

I spent a good amount of time shopping this weekend. I only buy if I can get a smoking deal. For example, I picked up a pair of Levi's for $7 off the clearance rack at Kohl's. I get lots of stuff there. I also did a consignment shop - found a couple things there.

I am 7 months out and down 120lbs. The first 3 months I was buying clothes every 2 weeks. Now I buy once a month. Luckily here in Indiana Goodwill is 50% off the first Saturday of the month.

I was in a size 20 when I started. I am 5 months post op, down 55 lbs and now more like a size 16. I broke down and bought a few work pants cuz even my nicest suits look super baggy. One of my co workers was almost laughing on day at how much room was in the legs of my pants. I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe as I really want to wait until I hit the weight I think I will be for a while. Not sure when that is though?!? I also had some really skinny jeans that I used to squeeze into when I would flex and lose a bit of weight so glad I still had these pants! This last weekend I went through my closet and got rid of a garbage bag size bag of clothes. Wow. That was awesome. My wardrobe is a bit boring right now, but everything fits better so whatever I out on looks better than it used to...I agree that dresses are still fitting as well, just fit a little better now!! :) I did also recently break down and buy a blazer online at ebay that is a size 14w and it fits perfectly! Yay. Ebay is great-lots of good deals on clothes. Good luck and congrats!!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
