Buying clothes throughout weightloss?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office has a clothing swap for the WLS patients. Maybe look into that??

I plan on going to consignment shops to buy most of my clothes. My mom buys most of her business suits and dresses from there, and they are designer brands and are really cheap. But I probably won't have to do that for at least a few months because due to my weight loss yo-yo past, I've got three different sizes in my closet right now. Looking forward to wearing things out of my own closet that I've only been able to look at!

I go to Ross. Dress code at my work is business and I can get suits there for $20 - $40.

I also saw a thread a while back on this forum about doing a clothes swap. You might try looking it up.

I either go to Cato or Dress Barn. Their prices are very reasonable. They have a plus size side and a smaller size. I can't wait to shop in the smaller sizes. Good luck

I buy less expensive jeans/pants and tops from Walmart, Target, Ross & Marshall's. Some of my exercise pants and t-shirts are rather big but I don't really care about them. I got some nice things off of the clearance rack from JCPenney. Throughout my journey, I have bought some smaller things at good prices that were snug or I could not pull over my hips at the time w/ the anticipation of it fitting in the future. A month or two later, I would go back, try it on and it fits. Has been very exciting & helps me to see my progress & feel good about myself. I get even more compliments when I wear something new w/ a good fit & I can see the difference myself. Especially noticed a difference up top when I got the right size bras. I cannot stand big baggy jeans and shirts. For past couple of months, I have been losing more in the hips, legs & butt, Initially I was losing more on top. So now my smaller shirts are holding up good as far as fit but I am now having to buy more bottoms especially for spring/summer. Last summer I was down to a 22 from a 26 and so far looks like my summer size for bottoms this year will be 16's.

      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! 😞
