Clothing prep for post

How is everyone prepping for very fast size changes? I was told to buy a small wardrobe in different sizes. My surgery should be in October so I've only been collecting fall/winter clothing. Love thrift stores!

I honestly haven't prepped for it. I guess I'll use some rope to hold my pants up! LOL.

Thrift store shopping is a great idea though my surgery will be end of August. What did you buy thus far, like 2-3 sizes smaller than you currently are?

All clothing will be purchased from thrift store until I reach my goal. Then I will buy some kick ass new stuff! Hopefully in a size 10!

I'm fortunate to have 4 sisters, all varying sizes, so I plan to visit their closets for clothes they can't or don't wear. I have also gone to Goodwill as I've lost and gotten a couple of pairs of pants in my new size :) that was fun. I've also bought a pair of pants a couple of sizes too small because they were on clearance for $13.00 and I really liked them and I know I can wear them in a few weeks.

As you can tell, I'm having fun with the decreasing sizes!

Yes I have a little collects 3 or 4 sizes smaller. I was told your size changes so fast.

Losing so quick you need smaller sizes constantly is a problem I would like to have

I will be checking out Walmart sales.

I inherited stuff from a sister who lost weight before me from size 18 down to 12, and then used marshals/ross/tjmaxx for 10 and when I hit size 8 figuring I'd land there, I Invested quite a bit and then kept dropping, skipped size 6 almost entirely and landed at a 4. I shop and thrift stores a lot now, great bargains on high end stuff! Wish I had leaned that sooner.

Wow size 4??? Congrats!

Yes thanks!!! Crazy right? Never would have guessed. Just got my plastics done last week and the surgeon kept calling me "tiny." Who would have guessed? I've been heavy to obese my whole life and always thought I was big boned or stocky underneath. I was wrong!
