Does anyone have size 12 or 14 clothes they are using anymore? I have a lot of size 16 that are falling off and I need more 12 and 14 but buying clothes is getting really expensive! So I was just trying to see if anyone wanted to share! :thumbup: send me a private message if you have anything!

I'm in the same boat. My 16s are hanging off of me. But I think I'll wait until I'm a definite 12, before I buy some new clothes.

I am going to thrift stores a lot more. Until I am at goal this seems to be the best way. You can get some really nice things at thrift stores. Sometimes you get brand new stuff with the tags still on.12_3_125.gif 12_3_120.gif

When I find a sale(Dillards) on jeans, I buy in reg size(12) and pair in next size down(10). Last month bought end of summer jeans on sale at Ds for $11.77 each. I must stop by weekly for sales as I like good clothes(fit better) but hate to pay full price.

It has been a struggle to stay stylish w/out spending a bundle shrinking. It seems to take some time. When I was 14/16 went straight to Avenue, hope those days are gone 4ever 4 every one here!!

We always take our clothes to our support group and share our clothes that way. Everyone brings their stuff in.

Do you go to a support group through your doctor's office?

I am buying a lot on ebay, especially jeans. I have even been looking for smaller sizes and buying them because I know I will need them soon. Most of my clothes are really big too, especially my scrubs. But I am going to wait until I lose some more before I buy new scrubs. I tend to wear everything until it is falling to the floor!

I've bought a lot of stuff at Goodwill. I've found some things in there that were brand new. Plus the clearance sales are great.

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
