Hi, my name is Teena and I am a newbie to this my weight started at 287 before surgery,then on surgery date was 267 and now at 5 week post-op I am 250. I had my surgery done in Chicago,Il at Mercy

Hi Teena. Sounds like you're well on the way to a new you. Well done & don't spend too much money on clothes, (you won't be wearing them for long before they're too big!) You go girl!

Congrats Tina! Good Luck and keep us posted.

Congrats Teena. I plan to become a clothes horse when I get where I want to be. In the meantime, I'll buy as little I as I can to get by. Thankfully, I don't work anymore, so won't need a lot. I also plan to get rid of the bigger clothes as I come out of them!

Hello and congrats!

Congratulations Teena! I agree 100% with the others about the new clothes. I have already gone down 4 pants sizes and 5 top sizes. I've bought some new clothes, but seems as soon as I did, I outgrew them! Good luck and keep us posted!
