twinmomma1103,

This is a fantastic idea! I wish I would have done it.

Omg, I could have written this post. Especially when you said most women who are plus size have a shopping addiction. How true is that and I've always felt that way. I haven't had my surgery yet (2 weeks!!), but what I've started doing is selling my cute plus size clothes and using that money to buy brand new clothes when my weight has leveled off. So far I've made $400 and I barely put a dent in my closet! Lol but that's an idea for you if your like me with all those cute plus size clothes laying around

Where did you sell them? I tried ThredUp and got a lousy $20.88 for 16 really nice items - that ALL sold on their site! I'd rather give them away.

I sold them on local Facebook plus size clothing pages (so that saved me on shipping) and the pricy stuff I'm going to put on ebay (like the name brand jeans like silver or vigoss)

I'll probably donate some of my clothes and sell others, depending on their condition, where I bought them, etc.

So excited for a new wardrobe!

Well girls, I am having a ball buying great clothes and shoes. Small clothes. High shoes! Yay. I wear my scruffy clothes for walking the dogs every morning but after that I'm off on a closet raid. I NEVER bought clothes on-line before losing my lard but I've got two go-to sites and everything I've bought fits me beautifully. I'm loving being a girly again instead of a frumpy dollop!

Once i decided to get surgery I have only purchased one pair of $15 jeans - and that's because the one pair I had left ripped and I could no longer wear them.

I guess I'll look like crap for the next year and eventually buy a new wardrobe

I see nothing wrong with that. As long as you're responsible i.e not taking from your household, paying bills on time do what makes you happy.

I already know that I'm a shopper and not necessarily a bargain shopper so I have to plan for what's important to me. I take what I would spend on clothes/shoes monthly $75-$200. I have a special savings account that I put $50-$100 aside from every paycheck.

After surgery (scheduled 7/1) I will save for that 4-6 month mark when all my clothes will likely no longer fit to buy a few items to tie me over and then have my way once I reach goal. It's money I've started setting aside so it won't hurt my pockets later.

I won't spend it all at once because I have to account for the season changes but I'll have a nice cushion when the time comes. YOLO!

I bought jeggings on amazon!

They've served me good! They were cheap and looked like jeans and fit my body as it is shrinking.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
