Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

All right all you little Skinny Minnies



Recommended Posts

so, a huge NSV for me this weekend, I went shopping at the mall for the first time since surgery for new clothes. (I've been to places like Savers and goodwill buying things here and there, but this was my first mall outing). I went into stores I've never stepped foot in... and I BOUGHT there too! WOOHOOO! I went to H&M, Aeropostale, Forever 21,just to name a few. So, since this is a whole new shopping world for me, where are some stores that you like to go in now that you're on the losers bench? My old go-to store was Dressbarn for Women, and I'm so happy to have a new variety of stores to shop at. Please share your new favorites- whether in store on online- I'm in the shopping mood! :D

Tissiegirl... you will NOT be disappointed. This was by far the best decision I've ever made in my life. Best of luck to you during and after your surgery! It's crazy what a difference you will see in your life!

So, I'm no skinny minnie, but I hope to be on that track soon!
I certainly have ideas of stores I want to shop in when the time comes,

like Hot Topic (for all their SUPER cute dresses and tops that don't reach a size XXL)

and Wet Seal. I actually vowed never to set foot in Wet Seal ever again because

all their clothes only went to a size like 10. And that depressed me.
I *may* one day give it another shot.

It is so satisfying not to have to shop at the plus size store anymore. I am almost six months out, and have lost 100 pounds. I have mostly been shopping at Salvation Army and Goodwill. Until I get close to goal weight I can't get myself to spend the money on new stuff if I won't be able to wear it in a few months. I am saving for a shopping spree ...can't wait.....

I can't wait to shop in Jones New York and J Jill again. It's been ages since I could buy there, but they were my favorite places way back when. Have fun...try on clothes in lots of new places until you find your favorite style and fit. I know I look forward to having fun shopping again. I'm tired of it being just a depressing necessity.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
