Well like most of you post op I am losing weight. Not to fast but still losing. I have lost a total of 34lbs so far and still losing. It's weird thought I can't see it myself yet, and even though I’m losing I haven’t purchased new clothing. My clothes are (so I thought) just baggy and I didn’t want to spend the money to purchase a whole new wardrobe just yet. You see I started out a size 26-28 and now am probably a size 20-22 (not sure but maybe less). Now to get to the funny part…

Yesterday, I had a sales rep come by the office to see me. This sales rep knows about my WLS but hasn’t seen me since before my surgery. So, I go out to greet him in the lobby (now mind you the receptionist is there as well as another co-worker) and guess what happened (LOL,:w00t: ROFL) as I’m reaching out to shake hands MY PANTS FELL OFF:w00t::blushing::w00t:. I mean all the way to my ankles:blushing:. It happened soooooo, fast I didn’t know what happened at first. Well the sales rep says “Well I can see you’ve really lost some weight”. Man, we all started laughing. I don’t think I’ll live this down any time soon.

I hope this brightens your day.

Oh ya BTW I will be going shopping for draw string pants this weekend.

Now tell me your funny weight loss story!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great story! :blushing:

Luckily, I won't have to worry about buying smaller clothes. Through the years I have kept Rubbermaid containers of basics in various sizes. I'll get to pull those out. Since I haven't seen them in so long, they'll feel like new clothes. Many of them that had been purchased after weight loss didn't fit for very long before the dreaded regain anyway...

Lmao!!!! That is to funny.

WOW I am glad you could laugh that one off.

Since the second I had surgery I have purchased clothing non stop and it's my treat to myself. I shop like I used to eat and I love every minute of it. I am fortunate to work in the fashion industry so I get designer jeans for $1-$5 a pair 4 times a year at work. I bought 28 pairs last month with 1/2 at my current size 11 and then the rest at size 9-10 so I am covered for the next few months. I just donate them when I am done to the homeless shelter here in town.

OMG, I'm so jealous of you!!! I would love to be able to get great deals like that!

OP, that story is so funny!!!

I am set for clothes for the most part for the next 50 or 60lbs. Most the clothes I buy can be worn with a 30 lb variation and I have a big bin of clothes that I didn't have the heart to throw marked for 220lbs. Cant wait to wear some of it again.

Great story made me laugh!

Lol embarassing but great for you! I've noticed my underwear are slowly slipping down as I walk so I think I need to invest in new ones lol.

I've been changing sizes pretty quickly. I bought a couple of pairs of nice slacks about 1 month ago. I call them my "big girl pants" because they don't have elastic waists but have buttons and zippers. Well, when I went to the surgeon's office on Tuesday for a fill, I ran into the bathroom first and without thinking, just pushed my pants down. Looks like I'll have to get a new pair of black slacks SOON. White capris, same thing.

I have bought some stuff on Ebay. Got a cute pair of capris for $.99. Shipping brought them up to a whopping $4.50. They aren't brand new but they are gently worn and will work for me until they are too big. Check Goodwill. I've seen some cute clothes at excellent prices ($4 per item). Watch garage sales, too. You aren't going to be wearing this stuff long enough to pay much for it and take joy in the bargains!!!!

I had to buy some new clothes too. My skirt flat fell to the ground during altar service at church! I thought I would die on the spot. Luckily, my top was fairly long so that helped.

Yep, I lost my pants in the supermarket one day. I caught them about half way down, but I did drop Eliza, lol.

I was lucky I wasnt working, I've been at uni for the past few years. All I needed to get by was a couple of pairs of jeans at each size, tops could last longer. And DH pointed out, I spend $40 getting my nails done without blinking so why was I being so stingy about jeans that fit. I wasnt going to wear them long, they didnt have to be the best jeans, just ones from Jeans West would do. So evertime they had a 2 for $99 sale (which is often) I'd go out and buy the next size down!
