Weight loss projections for clothes buying.



Recommended Posts

I wouldn't buy for the future, because it's hard to know where you'll be. I did that and was never able to wear some of the things I bought because they were too big! (Thankfully, those clothes were purchased at a Goodwill store, so I didn't lose much money!) While I was loosing most of my weight, I bought from a Goodwill. However, now I'm buying clothes from department stores since I've lost down to where I want to be.

I'm four months post op and now and have lost 50 pounds and my projection is to lose 20 more as I started out at 220 before surgery. My question for those of you that have gone through this is with another 20 expected to lose, should I buy clothes a size smaller for summer. Reason I'm asking is that I'm obsessed now with shopping being that I'm so much smaller and just bought 8 pairs of awesome pants from Ann Taylor (and they are not cheap) but some are capris for warmer weather. I'm thinking I should take some back and get a size smaller. Thoughts?


Maybe you could find a tailor to have them taken in as you need them. May be a cheaper option to get use of them now and then.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
