Hi. I had my clothe tailored to fit better and purchased minimal essentials especially for work. My shirts were easier to fit but definitely tailored my pants. I went from xxxl shirts to large and pants were size 46 and presently 34-36 pending designer.

Jeans are a waste of money when you are losing. They are going to be too big every 2 to 3 weeks if you like your jeans to fit. I had to learn that the hard way.

Dresses and skirts get the most mileage, you can wear them a long time after they are too large and it isn't noticeable.

Besides compression leggings for working out, I feel like leggings are a bad choice. I have some leggings that are 3 sizes too big and I can still wear them. They were workout leggings that were not compression leggings. When you wear stretchy clothes, you don't see your loses and it seems like you aren't getting anywhere with your weight loss.

Tailored/fitted clothes are the best because they will last longer and cover more flaws. Clothes with structure, look okay even when they are too large for longer. And you notice your loses better.

I wear a lot of dresses and Ross has them pretty cheap if you don't want to go the Goodwill route.

I live in Salvation Army and Goodwill finds! And, after they get too large I take them to a nearby consignment store for larger people and make money for more clothes. I'm very picky about clothes so I have stuff to sell.

I'm 6 months out today. All I've been wearing are leggings and shirts. I bought one pair of jeans. I'm in a size 14 jeans. I did have to buy new uniforms for work. Lol

You can get the most wear from dresses and Ross does have some really nice brands there, you just have to look. I get Calvin and Ralph there all the time. Along with with cheaper unknown brands.

Honestly if you are a good shopper, clothes are so cheap now there is no reason to wear used clothes.

I purchased 5 bodycon skirts over memorial day weekend for less than $30 total.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
