I have been in plus sizes since my Sophomore year in high school. There are things I avoid: bathing suits, Halloween costumes, shorts, anything from fitting. The weight is coming off and my pants are getting smaller. I have been excited since before my surgery about the results, but now I'm getting scared. I need to go get some clothes soon. I'm just not sure of what to buy at this point. Oh and we will be going on vacation soon, tgat means a swim suit. Help!!

Believe it or not have fun with it. The first time I went clothes shopping I was so nervous because I hated clothes shopping but my clothes were literally falling off of me.

I started by trying one size smaller and found I was still drowning. Then it became exciting because I tried 3 sizes smaller and they fit. I was so shocked that I wanted to try on everything I could get my hands on.

I am now 6 sizes smaller and can shop in any store. I would be smaller yet but I have lots of loose skin holding me back.

I also had to buy a swimsuit for a family vacation to Hawaii.

Good luck and have fun with it!

Maybe rompers with ties and cute sandals. They are roomier and because of the ties it gives you room to keep shrinking over the summer...

Hi i use to hate shopping but I love it now, why not go on a shopping spree i you do not want to buy all new clothes go to a consignment store and try on clothes that way you get your size and do not pay a lot of money for clothes that you will out grow. This is a very exciting time and your are going to have fun and trust me after hiding in oversize clothing you are going to want fitted clothes. I went from a size 32 to a size 12/14 pants size 3 x dress to a medium and swimsuit is a 12/14 . I love m new hour glass figure and i am proud to show it off. No more hiding in baggy clothes for me. Good luck you got this.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
