Go in the store and try them on first. Don't buy anything without it having your approval first. You worked hard to get to this point. Make it worth it. Feel good in what you wear. Good luck!

Try try try it all on first b4 you buy it!

Don't get in a hurry! I had surgery Aug. 19, 2009. Start weight 275 current weight 135. Have gone from size 22 that was super tight to sizes 4/6. Try on everything. Your body is beginning to reshape and what you can fit into is soooooo different from what you're used to. I wasted so much money in the beginning, buying because it felt so good to be able to fit into REAL clothes. Take your time . I refuse to wear things that are to big. Buying new clothes will be a joy but have restraint. Good luck and God Bless.

I agree with all the other posts, try them on and show off your hard work! Congratulations on your success!

I know exactly how you feel. I am losing and reshaping all the time. I am down 50+ pounds and the clothes I used to wear look hideous on me. People laugh at me. So, I did buy a few things, enough to get me through for probably another 4 months.

But I plan on getting a serger sewing machine soon (maybe Santa will bring me one) and will be able to take many things in.

But, love your new self and be proud. I am proud of you.

I've decided to slow down on the clothes buying and just wait until after christmas. Besides, I dont really have anytime anymore to shop.

Waiting till after Christmas is better to buy anyway because there will be tons of sales and especially on clothes!

Good luck with finding what fits :-)

I am going to Goodwill for my transition clothes!

You should see if you can find a cheap alteration place nearby, if their general prices are still on the high side for your budget, explain to them your situation and see if they would be willing to work a deal with you. Also see if there is someone in your church or work who knows how to sew and could make the alterations for you for a small fee or even in return of other services
