Funny observation about clothes post-surgery

I'm wearing new pants today and noticed they felt somehow different. I figured out it's because they're actually touching my butt instead of hanging off! Isn't it funny how used we can get to wearing clothes that are a little too big after surgery?

In other news, I am about 1.5 pounds away from onederland. So close I can almost taste it!

    @@higher I had to finally break down and hit the thrift stores. I needed a winter coat and I didn't want to spend $400 at J Crew knowing it would be too big next year. I went to a high end thrift store and got a vintage coat with a real fur collar for $10. I could never fit vintage clothes before and the fact I can now is a real thrill.

    I hate the idea of wearing used clothes but a winter coat was a must. I also found a brand new wool coat on ebay for $24. PM and I will tell you the eBay store.

    Next year we can buy expensive new coats I guess. And it will be worth it.

    I actually LOVE shopping vintage but the stores in NYC are sooo picked over and the "high end" thrift shops are expensive.

    I'll send you a PM.

    I live right near some outlets so I've been doing that so far. The work clothes are the killer for sure.
