I ran across some super cute swimsuits yesterday. They didn’t have any in my current size but since they are on sale I’m considering buying one in a size I think might fit me next summer.

Anyone else bought clothing that you’re hoping will fit as you work towards your goal?

I went ahead and purchased the suit I was wanting. My phone is dead right now, but I will come back a post a pic!

Cant wait to see!

Now my,public I do have a thought. I want polka dots, don't know if that sounds like something Obese Olive and her cohots would come up with. Even if that harkens to profiing, so be it. Maybe a pastel shade and knee,length or just above. I am tired of yanking my hem down through life. Maybe a 16 or 18? No dang it, it is going to be a 15 Junior, that's what size I want to be. And when,it happens, even if it isn't,until 2019 I SHALL POST IT ON BARIATRIC PAL-You people gave me the bravery to attack this problem!!!?✊

Ha! I bought myself a juniors size large blouse about 3 months post op. Having started at a Tight 20 I figured there’s no way I would ever shrink too small to wear it.

I now wear a 4. Gave that shirt away long ago!

Go for it, but don’t invest too much!

Here’s my suit. It’s a two piece so I decided to by the top now but wait until next summer to buy a matching bottom. Because who knows what my lower tummy and butt will be like! Lol

I only bought one new dress in a medium- besides that I have a 1/2 closet full of size Large clothes I can’t wait to fit back into. I thought that shopping afterwards (when I’ve lost the weight) might be a “pick me up” I can use to reward myself anyway :)

My husband convinced me to get a few things in one or two sizes smaller than what I was wearing; I started with underwear because no one wants those to be baggy for long! I also got a few shirts. I'm in the large/14 now and will definitely get into the mediums later. I also was cleaning out closets and found a few items I kept from high school that I can now wear. It's surreal that I'm where I was over 25 years ago.

Thats awesome, congrats!

Yes!! A Free People dress sized medium

I did on Saturday! There were a couple of very pretty Modcloth dresses that I came across. They're only a size or two smaller than I am now, so I'm being conservative.

I bought smaller sized clothing for the summer, size 14. But they fit me now surprisingly. Not because I think have shrunk that much, just because clothing sizes are much different than 10 years ago. Vanity sizing has got me all confused!

Not like goal clothing, but I'm thinking about hitting up some yard sales before summer ends to grab a few things to get me through fall and winter. Cuz nobody would be happy if i wake up one day and find myself with nothing that fits...lol

I didn’t buy anything except work uniforms, when my 6 weeks were up every uniform I had was literally falling off of me.

I bought a size 10 lingerie set before I was even finished with my pre-op requirements, lol. It’s the only purchase I’ve made though. I hope to fit it eventually, even if my body tricks me and decides to go smaller than a 10, at least I’ll get to wear it for a few weeks ??

Just get yourself a cozy robe to wrap around yourself and you'll be fine.
