Almost a year out from my RNY, lost a lot (200+ from highest weight) having such trouble finding clothes and feeling confident wearing them. Any ideas where to shop? What clothes styles work? I'm lost...super overwhelming. I have heavy legs, and a tiny waist, walking into stores I have never fit into.. just ugh... any help. ..??

I found the whole experience exhilarating. I couldn't buy clothes in a normal department store before surgery because I was too large. After I dropped the weight and went into the maintenance phase, I completely replaced my wardrobe. I am a good bargain shopper. Generally I can find good brands on sale for 70-80 percent off at the end of the season. Generally I shop at Macy's because that is where I find the best bargains. But it is all a matter of preferences in clothing styles and shopping outlets. Go out and have some fun.

Thank you for responding :) I will try and do just that. We are new to the United states (Canadian here) so it's been odd trying to find anything for my kids even, but for me, I'm right lost ! Plus, not knowing my size and not liking how things fit. Totally different experience. I guess I just have to get my head in the game and do it.. :P not let it intimidate me... or try to at least... *sigh*

I'm not ready to start shopping for new clothes,yet but am looking forward to it.

You might want to consider going to a good department store that has a personal shopper service and let them help you find some nice pieces. The process of working with someone you feel comfortable with might give you an objective perspective on what looks good on you.

That's a great idea! Embarrassed to say I didn't know that was something they did anywhere. . Going to have to get out there and look though...

Not sure what part of the U.S. You've moved to, but Nordstrom's provides such a service.

      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?
