How many pounds did it take to go down a scrub size? I'm 2 weeks post op and down 21lbs from my highest weight. I wear 2x scrubs, I still have 2 weeks to be home and I'm wondering if I should go out to get new sizes now or wait until after I start back working. They were kind of falling off of me then so I'm sure I might be swimming in them come time to start working. What did you do?

I will just cinch up the pants tighter. Lose all the weight. Then buy new scrubs. I have uniform scrubs and they are not cheap b

I have mended all my scrubs. I am going to wait as long as I can before buying new scrubs. I might get a pair as I decrease in size until I reach my goal weight.

Try goodwill for scrub. They usually have a good selection.

I would but the problem is that we are color coded now. So my only choice is to wear maroon, all the time. I usually don't see this color or any solid colors besides blue at the thrift stores. The only upside is my hospital provides us with some money for scrubs, not much but $100 is better than nothing.

I was in a sz 2x before surgery and when I went back (6 wks) I was in xl and now I'm in LG (3 months post op). Hope that helps, if you can get separate just buy the pants smaller and keep the shirts bigger?

Or grab some from the or. That's what I am going to do to help out the bank account

I can't wait to go scrub shopping once my weight is gone. Confession. ..I already bought a really cute top from the thrift store for 2 bucks! It's a large and I'm currently in a 3xl top. My surgery is on the 25th!

[karebearr100 21]

Good luck! I can't wait either

[hollisrn76 21]

As a nurse. ..how much time off did you take?

[karebearr100 21]

Post an ad on this site, maybe somebody has some to sell. Try Craig's list, Facebook has garage sale sites in almost all towns and maybe posting ads at work, maybe somebody has some extras they don't need anymore.
